Safari Serengeti DP - Any Opinions?
Local private seller has one of these on craigslist. 34 foot class A with a 300 hp Cummins. For some reason, I just liked the looks of this rig. Hits all our wishlist items except a slide-out. Any ...

I owned a 1995 Safari Sahara for about 5 yrs, and put about 50,000 miles on it. Mine was a 35ft with the 5.9 Cummins with 230hp and the MD3060 Allison. They are built on their in-house "Magnum" chassis. Mine had a fiber glass roof, spring suspension and hydraulic brakes. I had some brake issues, mostly calipers sticking. The ride wasn't too bad if one would fill the fresh water tank before traveling.
This unit consistently made 8-10 mpg. Mine also had the stainless steel basement doors. Gross weight on mine was 22,000 lbs. I never did actually weigh it. For its era it was a very nice motor home and of the 5 different Class A's I've owned, it was one of my favorites. Many times I've regretted trading it.
Having the small diesel and no air brakes or suspension, it was about as cheap to maintain as a gas model. The mid to late 90's Safari's are a great buy.
