Gents I want to respond even though I believe the OP has moved on. I was a happy Safari owner. Frankly Safari built a coach that is as high quality as my Newmar. BTW Safari built a lot of coaches and luckily not a lot were equipped with the velvet ride so yes there are tons of happy owners. My experience was not positive with the velvet ride suspension. Very early on (around 2004)I added $1500 in mods to aid in poor handling. In 2012 I suffered rear torsilastic spring failure. I knew about Sulastic then but was able to get OE so I went that way. Regardless the repair was costly (around $5K). So IMO by all means I would recommend a Safari to anyone. However I would NOT recommend a Safari with the velvet ride suspension. Regardless of the availability of non OE suspension parts being available, I just feel like there are too many (non torsilastic) used coaches available that will be easier on the check book.
Thank you for the feedback. Will make a mental note of it. :)
