What did you guys order for options on yours??

Sorry for the delay. We ordered the awning pkg, the audio/video pkg, 2nd fantastic fan for the bedroom, went from 13500 btu to the 15000 btu a/c unit with heat pump{ I hate heat,need a/c!! and I like the heat pump}, decal pkg{looks very cool}, deleted the oven and put the microwave in it's place and gained more storage. I can't think of anything else cause I'm at work and don't have my file handy. If I think of anything else important I'll let you know. If you want to add something now is the time. Don't let the dealer tell you that you can't. As long as your unit isn't on line yet you can adjust. Keep me posted.

I forgot to mention - we also ordered the 2nd fan and upgraded to the 15K BTU HVAC package.

We're keeping the oven though - I like to bake and only use a microwave for defrosting and reheating. I think I can live without the microwave before giving up the oven.

What does the decal package look like?

We really enjoy the White Mountains up around Payson and Show Low. There is a great state park called Fool's Hollow that is excellent. Bisbee is another favorite as well as the Cottonwood/Jerome area.

We hope to venture out to more destinations this year. We just started camping last year in August when we purchased our AS. We were in Rocky Point last weekend which was great. We were at a RV resort right on the beach.

Congratulations on your new Airstream order. We got the full awning package and are glad we did. BTW, if you decide you don't like 'em, don't deploy them but I think you will like them for the shade and for the added bit of privacy.

Ours is 30' and is very easy to tow and not at all difficult to back, even into some of the tightest of spaces. Just take your time and keep a watch in the mirrors on both sides and make sure you have a spotter.

The 28' is a great plan and you will really enjoy it once it arrives. Again, congratulations on your new baby to be.

If you go to the thread I started when I picked it up and scroll down about 1/2 way down the 1st page you'll see it. I know there is a way to provide a link here but I don't know how. The title to the thread was "picked up new safari today" Let me know what you think.

RIstream'n · 03-12-2008, 03:11 PM

Go in the forum section under safari and it's down about 7-8 threads.

hmmmm... the decal package does look pretty cool.

BTW, we have the micro/convection oven and it works pretty good for both. My wife has baked breads and casseroles in it and we also do microwave popcorn and baked potatoes and other nuclear foods and it does a good job. Plus it has a rice setting that my wife likes.

Good point and I would probibly get the micro option except we live in an area of the country with abundant dry camping and boondocking options. We probibly will be camping more without power than with. With that in mind, the propane oven may suit our needs better.
