Vintage

I have a 72 Safari and like others have said, I see more problems with the newer trailers... Not sure I would like a newer one with all the problems I see plus the cost.

Window replacement

I had to replace a window for our 72 Safari. Our grandson was weed whacking and a rock shattered the window. It took 3 of us to get the new window back in.
Good luck...
