Well we finally made the plunge after months of looking, pricing, weighing the pros and cons and bought our first Class A. We have had two previous trailers and were ready to change. Kids out of the house and the style of RVing for us has changed over time from tenting to where we are now. Love it. The shake down went well very few things to work on. We were happy to get the voice mail from DeMartini service asking to set up a date for any work needed after we got back - we had a pretty blank page. Some details - pretty much all options. C7 CAT engine seems great. Very stable, drove through some high winds last week. I have been lurking for some time before joining the forum.

This thread looks like it could turn into a "DeMartini Love-Fest" Dittos on the above mentioned compliments to De Martini

Finally adding some pictures of our motorhome. We have had some interesting trips and love the follow up and support from DeMartini and Coachnet. Yes the bugs do have to get shaken out and we are still happy.



We have been to Monterey, Bodega Bay, and along the Sacramento Delta with it.

Gary & Carol, You are going to love the Safari Simba. If we were to get a larger coach, it would be the SIMBA. We love Safari and have had great service and support from them over many years and two coaches. Monaco has done a good job integrating their purchase of Safari, and even though we have not had to deal with Monaco on our TREK, I understand from other Safari owners they are very happy with Monaco's support and feel as though it as as good as the old Safari franchise. Good luck with your new Simba!

Gary and Carol,

Saw one that looked just like yours going down SR 99 on 4-15 (if I remember correctly).

It was a very nice looking coach!

Congrats again.

We're in the market for a similar RV as this. Do you still own this unit? If so, how has it performed? Any particular issues, good and/or bad you'd care to share? Not knowing which floorplan you have, but if it does not have a dinette area, how have you compromised for this? Any info you share would be greatly appreciated.

We recently purchased a 2007 Safari Simba 36PBQ with 14,000 miles. After using it for about three weeks the windshield started coming out. It came loose enough so that I could put my finger through the gap in the upper corner. I took it to a glass shop and they decided to put in a new glass because the present glass had stress cracks. They also said that a waiver was necessary because the glass sits in fiberglass without any metal frame. If the window were to fail again it has to go to a dealer. My insurance company is paying for the replacement but I have concerns that this may happen again. Anyone else have problems like this?
