VINTAGE 1954 22ft AIRSTREAM SAFARI TRAVEL TRAILER
FULLY RESTORED & CUSTOMIZED
In 1954 the Ohio factory added a new model name and layout based upon a popular layout seen in the earlier Flying Clouds. 1954 also saw the introduction of the sloping back end and increase in length to 22 feet. The Safari was unique in that it had a lot more open floor plan with usually no streetside closets allowing windows along the length of the galley. Initially the kitchen was in the front and the dinette on the streetside which was swapped later to the conventional front dinette. The dinette was the hallmark of the Safari although some later Safari trailers were ordered with the conventional sofa in front. The Safari was introduced with the teardrop shaped side markers and the taillights were the Bargman "11" recessed type. Door handles were the heavy cast Bargman lever type [full credits & acknowledgements to RJ Dial @ vintageairstream].This is a unique opportunity to own a TRULY UNCOMMON collector trailer that will forever be an icon of American history and culture.
A complete polish tops off this beautiful example of the 1954 Airstream Safari. The coach has a dry weight of approx. 2500 lbs and a hitch weight of 300 lbs. The original exterior skin, frame, subflooring, flooring, running gear, and interior components are all solid and have been repaired/replaced and/or serviced. This trailer is a completely custom creation and has been reworked from the ground up. There are no longer any appliances, bathroom facilities, plumbing, or LP systems. If your desire is to aquire a vintage trailer unlike anything else, this is the one. This coach attracts many spectators and lots of compliments everywhere it goes.
