    Hi all, we've rightfully taken some flak for not including the price in our walkthrough. What can I say? Rookie mistake. So here it is: the current base price as of June 2024 (which is for a 2025 model--there is a waiting list) is $52,709 CDN. You can subtract $1500 CDN if you get the model without the shower, which also makes the main bed bigger and the camper a bit lighter (that model still has a toilet). US prices are no longer a straight currency exchange-visit the manufacturer website at safaricondo.com/en/ for up to date pricing and dealers.

    oh how I wish my best friend were still alive. She LOVED to camp and always wanted to go to the type of site you've chosen. This would be perfect for me. She could pitch her tent and I'd be inside--or she could just bunk on one end and me on the other. But, metastatic breast cancer took her two years ago. We were best friends for 47 years and it's been very hard ever since. So, when I watch these videos I just want to tag her and say, "LOOK AT THIS!!!"

    I am the original owner of a 2011 1713 model and have never regretted the purchase (ordered in 2010). I have lived in it for 3 months at a time throughout the winter months as a "snow bird" and it is still going strong. I boondock exclusively and it has served me well. I would sell my house before I sold my Alto.

We have actually slept five in our’s without the bunk bed 3 females in the king bed and one adult and one child in the front dining bed. On top of it the service from Safari Condo is top notch.

    Nice video with some cool items. Our RV is a uncamp t@b 400 BDL purchased new in 2019 and we’ve logged about 30k miles on her with some long trips. We did check these out and while they are nice, the new ones cost just about what a 400BDL cost. Difference is in a t@b you get a true wet bath, an RV queen bed (that stays made with linen and sheets) and a small dinette large enough for two people. It has A/C and two forms of heat, we upgraded to lithium batteries and weighs loaded around 3100lbs. Ease to pull with our Jeep Grand Cherokee (V6) and easier with our F-150 (5.0 V8). What we have learned is when looking at a camper, imagine a wet/cold day and how would you spend your day inside the camper? If you have a place to sit, eat, one of you lay down for a nap, use the bathroom and keep cool or hot then you’re set.

    • @DayHikerFromTheSix
      @DayHikerFromTheSix  8 месяцев назад +1

      Ours functions similar to the Tab…We take the bed apart only to use that area as a four person dinette. But getting at the stored items also means pulling a cushion so I take your point. When we bought the Tab bunk option didn’t exist, otherwise we would have given it a harder look. It’s a beautiful trailer with great craftsmanship.

      The price on these will never drop. I have an early model, there was a waiting list in 2010 and it keeps getting longer.... it is made of full sheets of aluminum - compare price to airstream. And you don't have the patchwork quilt pattern of aluminum riveted together and potential for leaks.

    Nice tour, thanks. The shell design is a big step forward, no question. Perhaps, though, some modular ideas for the interior. There are so many portable products out there now, from refrigerators, to solar generators, to hot water/shower units. Use this shell concept as the "platform" and let third party or in-house innovation finish the interior. An example of this in the boating world is the Sea Doo Switch. It's a good platform, with the ability to arrange the deck as you wish.
