Overview 2002 Classic 30 Slideout purchased in February 2016. Traded our 2001 Safari 25 at Hadocy Airstreams in Columbus, OH. We wanted a place to sit and eat at a real table (dinette) instead of TV trays, and a sofa to provide more seating. We loved the comfort of the recliners in our Safari, and I'm going to try to add a headrest to our sofa.

Second owner had the trailer for a year doing upgrades (and apparently never used the trailer). He re-upholstered the dinette and sofa with leather, replaced the LR, Galley, and BR flooring with Trafficmaster Allure Ashlar slate look vinyl.

We added some decorating touches and used it for three years but decided to make some changes. First was to get rid of the uncomfortable sofa. I relocated the converter and 12V distribution panel from under the sofa to the roadside wall and replaced the sofa with a reclining loveseat with a middle console.

The slate look vinyl started printing through the staples at the subfloor joints so we replaced it with Mannington Adura Rigid vinyl plank in a weathered oak look.

Missy replaced the bedspreads with Tommy Bahama versions and is recovering the bedroom valances with a fabric matching the underside of the bedspreads. Picture forthcoming.....
