Removal

Please remove me as a forum member or let me know what I need to do to remove myself. We sold our coach and I've given your information to the new owners. Thanks for being the most useful source of information for our Safari. Without the help of forum members; owning an older rig would be near impos...

Re: Docking lights

I forgot to mention that docking lights are also called "Guide Lights" and I got more hits using "rv guide lights" than when I used the term; "docking lights". Pplmotorhomes.com (800-755-4775) has the GL101 guide light but call and make sure the dimensions are same as y...

Re: Marker LEDs [1 Attachment]

Right on about water leaks from the marker lights. I recently had the problem after installing new LED markers on the front Fiberglas cap. The LED replacement markers didn't have a rubber gasket to seal as the original markers (non LED) did. In my opinion it's best to cover the complete hole before ...

Re: Suspension woes 2001 Safari Panther

More from my friend who had the Panther suspension problem with his Panther. I excerpted the following from his email: "The Oregon Safari factory did the rework but forgot to stress relieve the axle . This resulted in bending in the shape of a bow and that wore out a set of tires within 2,500 m...

Re: Suspension woes 2001 Safari Panther

To the best of my knowledge a good friend had a 2002 Panther and it's suspension also failed. Power and torque were too great for the rear suspension and the factory did major revisions for him under warranty. Air bags were retro fitted in the rear; requiring a massive superstructure welded in part ...
