Bought a 1955 Safari on 12-1-07 and have very much prep work before replacing the floor, first job is to gut it, will post a few picture of my progress, I'm sure that I will have lots of question............
Congratulations. Don't forget to post pics of it before you tear it down as well. We love to see how it progressed from what it was to what you make it into. It's always exciting being a long distance supervisor .
Merry Christmas,
Barry

Whatever you gut, post photos and offer it, even if just for the cost of shipping. It's definitely appreciated. You'd be surprised what huge value some small parts have for someone who has no other source--latches, trim, cabinet ends, etc.

The interior had been "remodeled" some time in the 1970's with new appliances and materials, and the walls painted. Painted walls never seem to last over the original Zolatone. I'm the third owner with paper work showing the previous owners, (copy of titles), first owner had it for 22 years and the second, 30 years, very cool..............
Wow, you are really tearing into your trailer. I like the floor plan. If you keep going at this pace you'll be camping by the New Year.
It sure looks like you got one of the good ones - long ownership, and used by not abused.
Keep the pictures coming. We all get motivation from seeing others doing their projects.
Thanks for sharing,
Barry

Boy, you folks do NOT fool around. Impressive. Are you replicating the original floor plan or intending on rethinking that as well?
Merry Christmas,

I'm 99% sure I'll be replacing my Suburban 'recall' furnace in the Safari but not sure I should offer parts from this unit to others, given that it's safety has been officially called into question. opinions?
congrats on becoming an official 'bucker', as posted in that awesome Aerowood full-monty thread, btw... you guys sure know how to live out west!
