[Jcrofoot]

Anybody else have one of these?

[field & stream]

I am bumping this to give you a better chance of getting a response -- love this floorplan!

Have a 2005 25ft Intnl CCD SS and tend to agree. Recently compared to some newer 2016s and very little diff in likability !

We've got a 2008 international 25SS and love it. Roads are clear so we are headed up to Rocky Mountain national park tomorrow for an overnight...

I have a 2000 Safari Six Sleeper (floor plan c).
I think the 01 and the 00 are almost identical in construction.

Yes! Every Airstream has its charms and trade-offs, but we love our 25SS...it has everything we want. Every year we check out the new models but have yet to see anything we'd actually buy including the FB models.

Space to lounge!

[Jcrofoot]

Mine has blue carpet throughout except bath area. Do you know if the lineoleum from the bath is also under the carpet? Have you done any updating to yours?

[wulfraat]

When we bought the trailer it had linoleum throughout (no carpet). We have since taken that out and have installed bamboo hardwood engineered floors.

We've done, um, a few updates to our trailer over the years

Sounds classy. Weight of floor OK? Also did you remove furniture PR go around?

[wulfraat]

Most of the interior was removed for the flooring installation. We customized the rear couch and stuff to ... pictures in the link above...

RE weight - we are fine - floor adds maybe between 300-500 lbs perhaps. I've got 7,300lb GVW rating with the newer axles and I am still under...

Do you have the large pantry slide out? Does it have any hardware other than the bottom slides?

[wulfraat]

The 25SS that I owned had a smaller pantry slide out. Just had the bottom slide. About 1/2 as tall and not as deep as the pantry slide out in my 2017 30’
