1961 safari land yacht?

[xrvr]

I found AS in a friends backyard. He thinks it is a 1961. I know it is a Safari Landyacht. He is the original owner, I believe. Serial number is 221 471 -D. Basically no dents and few road miles. One window missing. Floor solid except by front door within a door. What year is this really and any estimate on price? Refrig gone and gaucho or dinette gone. Just a rough idea would be nice. Needs tires and I am sure an axle. Pictures not avail right now, I do not my wife to find out. Thanks, jim

Probably is a 1961 Safari with double beds built in Ohio.

Check this out, 1961 Safari - see if anything looks familar.

"Ohio was making older style Safari layouts still in 1961, recognized by the front dinette, 3 streetside windows, mid-beds and aft bath – a very open layout."

A lot of them had the pink or yellow appliances/fixtures which are pretty cool!

It appears that my '61 Safari was built the 24th trailer after yours. My serial # 221D495.
From what I understand (and I could be wrong) 22 is length, the 1 is for 1961, D is for double bed -- (T would be for 2 twin beds), and the 471 is the trailer # built that year. Mine has roadside shower/bath tub, curb side toilet. Mine came with a gaucho which I removed and replaced with a dinette. My bed was on the street side, over the fresh water tank and wheel well.
I paid $700 for mine about 6 or 7 years ago. All the interior wood was unusable, but the subfloor was good everywhere except a small spot inside the door.
PM me if you would like some photos or other information.

Samb, thanks for the info. This one is just the opposite of yours with a gaucho originally. Maybe I need to try and buy it. Jim.
