[a/s] New Safari Redo



Good morning,

When I arrived at the Airstream Park in Lacey yesterday another woman was 
checking in.  Another woman travelling alone!!  This is really unusual for me 
to see.

Later, I was walking the dogs near her trailer and she came out to see 
them..ask what kind they were etc.

Naturally we got to talking.  I told her about the Hunter's FAQ, she laughed 
as she gets many of the same ....  her first is " Aren't you brave?"  She 
asked me if I feel brave.  Not really, adventurous maybe.

Anyway she invited us in to see her trailer.  She has a new 25 foot Safari.  
I walked in and my eyes flew open.  She has really completely remodelled the 
interior.  I'm going to try to remember everything,  

The first thing I noticed was Southwestern Indian design wallpaper border on 
the cornices over the windows and on the cabinets over the couch... only 
there is no couch. She ripped it out, has her large easel on the right side 
and a large oak rocking chair on the other corner. She's an artist.

You know the little flip up counter on the end of the kitchen counter, by the 
door?  She removed it an put in on the front of the right kitchen cabinet 
door under the sink.

The trailer has one closet.  She put in shelves and now pots and pans, food 
and her microwave live in the closet.

Moving back.....She removed the double bed which had the head at the side 
wall instead of at the rear like mine does. (The brand new ones are like 
that... I'm convinced to save money.)

She built a closet in both back corners and now has a twin matteress on a 
wooden  platform with storage underneath.  The bed is dead center in the room 
and the head is at the back wall.  She can walk all the way around the bed 
and has closet space.   She also removed the pocket door and the pocket door 
wall in the bedroom which gives her more space to walk around the bed. The 
pocket door was on the right walking into the bedroom between the side bath 
wall and the bedroom wall.

I doubt she will need privacy as she won't have any overnight guests.... who 
wants to sleep in a rocking chair?

It was neat to see it.... She has really done a great job in customizing the 
trailer to suit her needs.
