RE: [a/s] New vs. Old



I bought a pristine 1966 Safari two years ago for less than 10% of these 
newer models.  Of course I only have a single axle but then my unit only 
weighs 3340 pounds.  It's thick skinned though, so I can clean and polish 
to a mirror shine.
My microwave isn't built in so you have to add that to the price.  But I 
think in most every way it has the same capabilities as the current 
units.  Thanks to the quality control built into the vintage models by 
Wally Byam, I expect to pass my Safari on to my kids (as many have).

If the new coaches can match that longevity than they are well worth their 
price.
