25 FT rear queen opinions

If any one here has one, how do you like the trailer? Towing, floor plan, outside and inside storage. Weight, I am using a 08 Tahoe 7500lb tow rating. The trailer has a 7000lb GVWR so I am within the Tahoe's ratings.
Any opinions are welcomed. Thanks

Question


We love everything about the 25 twin bed, tow's great, DW loves the interior layout, plenty of room for us.

Sorry but.....the QC leaves something to be desired. Consider pre-owned.

Is the Quality that bad on these units? The one we are looking at is an 08.
Sounds like maybe our Komfort isn't all that bad then.

Hi, we have a 2005 Safari 25-B [rear queen] and we love it. We looked for about three years for a good used one and ended up buying a new one. Our trailer is rated at 6,300 lbs GVWR and our tow vehicle is rated at 8,900 lbs tow rating. Not carved in stone, but most people like to have a 20% safety margin. My combination gives me a safety margin of 29%. Your combination only gives you a safety margin of 6.5%. Too close?

Pre-owned.

Thanks Robert, I have been following the QC topics on this forum and there is a lot of issues with these units. I guess the difference is that it might be more acceptable on low end brands but AS are expensive and the preception is that if you are paying that much for them that there should not be any or maybe minimal problems because of that.
Since I live in Ca and they passed the budget with sales tax increases of almost doubling the license fees, we are not going to buy anything now. As I said earlier, we'll just keep out Komfort.
