This is our motorhome, it is a 40', Safari, Cheetah. Has three slideouts, two in the living room area, which gives it a big living room, and one in the bedroom, which lets you walk around the Queen size bed. The most unusual thing about it is that it has two bathrooms, one right in back of the saleswoman, and one in the very back, they don't make too many with two bathrooms and now Safari doesn't make them at all. When we bought it, that was a selling point with us because we had my Mother with us and she needed a bath room of her own with her Alzheimers.
We have a 350 Cat engine in the back, and an 8,000 Watt diesel generator in the front. The transmission is an automatic Allison, it has a Pac Brake and antilock brakes, with everything being electronic the engine, transmission and brake, "talk" to each other. Coming down off a mountain all you have to do it tap your brakes and the transmission tells the engine to slow down or speed up, the Pac brakes comes on to slow it down and the transmisson decides what gear it should be in and puts itself in gear. You still can't put the motorhome in cruise and go sit in the back, but it is much easier.
This motorhome has all the bells in whistles you can get on this model and we bought it at the annual Great American RV Ralley in Kansas in June of 2004, on the last day of the Ralley, it is a 2005.

Hi Linda1 and Cindy,
Have a safe trip and a wonderful fun one also. Remember - no kissing the bears - no matter how cute they look!
From the pictures and the comments - I feel like I am riding right along with you all. I can't wait to see all of the sites and read the comments! Now I know how the wagon train people must have felt. Be nice to your eyes -- you don't need an infection in them. The stitch you mentioned made my eyes water. Ouch! Yes, I know I am a wimp.
Your friend,
Linda2
