198air: Let me expand on my post. Having restored a number of Classic MH's I can state that owning any Classic is not for everyone. One has to appreciate anything Classic and realize that there are shortcomings. The Isuzu units are grossly underpowered. Especially those with no Turbo or an AS installed Turbo. They are noisy as well. Any of the Classic Airstreams have limited towing capacity. IIRC it is only a few thousand pounds. I happen to like those silver bullets but as I stated they are not for everyone. The Safari's with the 6.5 are trouble on wheels. I had 3 of these engines in our fleet and none gave good service. Lots of fuel pump problems. Expensive to fix and very few shops that want to work on them. One should not confuse a MH that is bought for every week use vs. a crowd catcher that has limitations. From your handle I assume you are an AS owner and I would hope you understand my post. Our last Classic was a FC35 Bluebird and we loved it!! But repairs ( not that it needed a lot of repairs)were very difficult and I was not getting younger!
