Airstream
say:
"The
Safari's
silver
curves
make
a
lovely
reflective
surface
for
moonlight,
but
they're
not
just
for
looks:
the
aerodynamically-shaped
exterior
design
lowers
wind
resistance
—requiring
less
horsepower
and
approximately
20%
less
fuel
than
conventional
box
trailers.
Monocoque
construction,
ultralight
materials,
and
a
low
center
of
gravity
make
towing
the
Safari
a
dream."

This 17 model is perfect for us we love everything about it. Agree the AC is noisy but I think it's maybe too big for the trailer. Can't they find a smaller unit?
Melissa Kent
:
We have the Safari Sport 17 and think it's wonderful. We spent a large part of the summer touring around pulling it and just enjoying the freedom. It's small but we never felt it was TOO small. The A/C is noisy is the only complaint I have about spending the summer in it but it wasn't so much of a problem.

Hey George! The Safari Sport has taken off for us too! Public is more demanding now than ever---relatively speaking; Airstream is still the icon for all other manufacturers to follow.
George M Sutton
:
The 75th Anniversary Edition Airstream Bambi was a huge success for us. Now the new "DWR" 16 foot model has taken it's place. Plus, Airstream is just now bringing out the new Safari Sport. It comes in two sizes, a 17 and a 22, both are very light weight and less expensive than comparable other Airstream's.
We have found Airsteam's to be a hot selling product and life is good in Eugene, Oregon!
