No Reserve Diesel RV: 1994 Safari Sahara Edition

Old motorhomes are undoubtedly one of the riskier purchases you can make, especially for a vehicle you potentially intend to drive to the ends of the Earth. The risk grows larger the longer one of these behemoths is allowed to sit, and given how many of them are set aside as soon as an unforeseen repair materializes, there are plenty of abandoned motorhomes to choose from at a given time. That’s why finding out this 1994 Safari RV Sahara Edition here on eBay is still a runner after being given to a donation center is fairly remarkable; who gives away a good working RV? Bidding is at $4,150 with no reserve.

This eBay account is one of my favorite pages, always loaded up with an assortment of vehicles I’m amazed to see have been donated. There’s limited information out there as to what constitutes a “Safari” edition motorhome, but I have to believe it has something to do with special cosmetics and equipment upgrades. Check out the gigantic rock guard on the back of the RV – there’s some of your special equipment right there! The motorhome also features what looks like a fairly epic mural on the back of the body, and why not? The seller notes the mileage as being 78,364 and that it was last registered in October 2020, so it kept on the road up until fairly recently.

Now, the tell-tale signs of how a motorhome has been looked after have less to do with the exterior and everything to do with the interior. From here, I see clean appliances, nice wood trim, and full blinds on the windows. If this motorhome hasn’t been in use, it wasn’t sidelined for long. The seller reports that the generator still works (they  never  do on forgotten motorhomes!) and that one of the two air conditioning units does not function. With a good battery and good tires, this motorhome is in better shape than I’d say more than 50 percent of the rigs still sitting in someone’s driveway and not at a local donation center.

When you go on a quick Google to see other similar motorhomes for sale, they’re pretty consistently listed with an asking price in the mid-20s or higher. Perhaps there’s good reason for the active bidding, especially if this represents a bit of a bargain in the RV world. The listing notes it is 36 feet long, so plan accordingly if you need to have this home on wheels transported to your home. I am a big advocate for transporting projects of unknown healthy, but I’m guessing motorhome enthusiasts have to seriously weigh whether the cost of a tow is worth not having to drive a behemoth of unknown integrity a few hours home. Would you be bidding on this donated RV if you were in the market for one?

“We’re the Millers”, gol dang, that was a funny movie and I bet quite accurate too. These, I read, had a 300 Caterpillar motor, a wise choice as moving a box in a 40 mph headwind will make anyone nervous. Side wind, forgetaboutit. These are called “pushers”, referring to the rear engine, rear drive, and looks to be a nice unit. I’m sure it’s a nightmare underneath, and RV stuff is worse than classic car parts. Being a Cat motor and Allison automatic, fuel mileage is in the teens, and I bet rolls right along. It’s the right size and a Cat motor, nice unit.

You’d have “no regrats” if you bought this!!!

Worked on lots of these through the years. Most of this size and vintage ran a Cummins 5.9, hooked up to an Allison automatic. They were set for 195 hp which was good for downhill with a good tailwind. I used to pull the pumps off them and recalibrate them to 235 hp. Very few complaints. Of course I have a problem with taking a behemoth on a vacation; I keep thinking about the nice hotels you can stay in and the steak dinners you can eat for the cost of one of these…

SMC Safari Motor Coach Custom mfg their own chassis for that one , i used to have a 95 Sahara, Cummins 5.9 Liter, owned it 8yrs went from Calif to Indiana and back on a 5 month trip, we took a lot of trips , racked up a lot miles, made a lot of memories

Safari is the manufacturer and Sahara is the model. This one is not particularly luxurious, but the build quality of Safaris quite good overall. This one is a Cummins.

On the right forum that will sell it a heart beat it’s older but Clean. And it has a Cummins engine in it.

well it’s not getting flipped, I get to pick it up tomorrow

It has or had a roof leak evident by the staining the ware and tare on the table and cabinets show it was probably lived in instead of just a get away rig. You will have to get it inspected for dry rot in the areas of the leak but otherwise nice coach

I own a ’93 Safari Serengeti, same color! This was the absolute state-of-the-art top quality rig in the 1990s. All of the woodwork is solid hardwood, no veneer crap. The chassis is by Oshkosh. Mine has the 8.3 L Cummins. Gets 10 miles per gallon! I have owned mine since 2019, has been to both ends of I 75. Would drive it anywhere.

My wife and I decided a long time ago that an RV is a horrible purchase, at least if you buy brand new. Just the interest on the purchase price could buy all the motel rooms and meals that we would ever use in a given year. Also, those are a lot easier to find then a camp ground that accepts RVs. If this could be bought for under five grand and it could be made to run, might be a cheap way to live in college for someone, that is if you can find someplace to park it for months on end. I doubt the college administration is going to be too hip on the idea of it sitting in one of their parking lots.

I remember a guy just out of the Army came to Baylor and he purchased an old RV that was in pretty decent shape. He lived in it for the 4 years he was at Baylor, just off campus, but on university land that wasn’t being used. We younger guys thought this was truly cool, so did a few of the coeds.

Look at the pictures in the ebay ad. It has had extensive roof water leaks. Run away. It will be full of mold and rot. Once the roof starts leaking it affects everything, even the floor. The picture of the slide shows damage there as well. I repeat, run away.

The true trick to buying an older coach is buying a quality mad coach such as this Safari. I have a 1989 Beaver, another top of the line coach and we go everywhere in it. New or old, you have to work on one, or have someone to do so. Your basically driving a house so issues not only mechanical arise, but plumbing, electrical and structural also occur.

I once heard what has turned out to be a pretty true statement about RV’s. There are two types of RV, those that leak, and those that will leak.

Well I’m the guy that bought it, well see how much of a nightmare it is.

Sold for 11K

I bought my ’93 Serengeti in 2019. No regrets! If you ever need to talk through something, I might be able to help.

went for $eleven, 2. Like it, the 12v turbo, hope it’s an allison too. I’d cut it off at the rear axel but aint sure what’s there (want the 4 burner and stand up shower). Too late AND a dollar short. Hope they enjoy !

RV Remodel Done Right – 1994 Safari Continental Goes From Mold to Gold

• On February 26, 2016
• By Crystal Adkins

This 1994 Safari Continental RV remodel is amazing! It has a perfect combination of function and style.

Living Free and Simple

Lacy and Cliff Young did what so many of us have done or plan to do – they said goodbye to debt and hello to freedom.

They decided to sell everything they owned and buy an older RV to call home.  They wanted to live a more simple life. Lacy comments on her Instagram that the move “set us free in so many ways. And we remain there. Free. Grateful. Living simply.”

Before the RV Remodel

Like most new RV owners, Lacy and Cliff Young wanted to update and decorate their newly purchased RV. Unfortunately, also like most RV and camper owners, they quickly discovered mold, an issue that costs RV owners millions of dollars every year to repair.

Related:  RV Tips for Keeping Your RV Mold and Mildew Free

The ceiling and windows had been leaking in the RV for a while. Water was coming in through the window seals and the ceiling-to-wall joint and going down behind the walls. Here’s the RV before the remodel began:

As you can see, there is no sign of water damage or mold. The Young’s would have likely never found the mold had they not began gutting the interior for the remodel.

Mold and Mildew

RV’s and campers are highly susceptible to water damage. They are constructed to sustain high winds and rough roads while still being lightweight and watertight.

A small amount of water, or humidity, can cause a significant amount of mold and mildew because it multiplies quickly.

When buying an RV the biggest concern is always leaks and water damage . Soft floors, rotted wood, and leaks can be unknown to the current owners and for the less-than-honest owners, they are very easy to conceal. It takes a miracle and a thorough investigation to spot issues and oftentimes issues don’t reveal themselves until weeks or months after purchase.

Luckily for us, the mold didn’t stop the Young’s. They got the RV to a professional and had it beautifully repaired and remodeled.

RV Remodel Done Right – From Mold to Gold

Lacy and Cliff had some help from interior designer Jamie House. Together they were able to make the RV a stylish, highly-functional home on wheels.

An amazing difference can be seen in the living and dining areas. Trading in the drab brown for a nice bright white added some much-needed light to the whole area. It brightens the entire RV up and created a more spacious feel.

They added a touch of privacy by installing a rod and putting up a shower curtain to block off the front window, giving privacy and an at home feel while not in motion.

Kitchen Dreams 

The kitchen makes a bold statement with paint.

A smart trick for pulling the eye into a space and making it feel larger is by adding bold color to the lower half of the room and lighter color to the top half. This somehow tricks the eye into making a sweep from floor to ceiling.

An under-counter sink was installed along with a new faucet, butcher block countertops and white tiles for the backsplash. A toaster oven replaced the big bulky microwave making more space in the kitchen area.

Beautiful Bedroom 

The bedroom had some of the biggest changes. In order to fit their huge California King size mattress into the room, the couple had no choice other than to fold it like a taco. The long cabinets in the corners had to be removed to make room.

The back wall is decorated using reclaimed wood adds a touch of originality along with some color.

This 1994 Safari Continental has a great layout. The bathroom is accessible from the bathroom instead of the living space or kitchen. The wall separating the bathroom from the bedroom is personalized and creates an impact:

Small stone flooring was installed in the bathroom giving the space plenty of style and waterproofing.

Cabinet Hardware Makes a Huge Difference in Small Spaces

They also installed modern cabinet handles in each room. The styles are cohesive but not all the same. This helps to create an original look and feel within each room.

Cabinet hardware is an easy DIY project that makes a huge difference. They are easy to change but hard to choose.  Better Homes and Gardens has some great tips for choosing cabinet hardware here.

Maybe all of the mold they found wasn’t such an unfortunate thing after all!

RV siding is usually very light fiberglass or a vinyl product. You do need to try to stick with the manufacturers siding or manufacturers approve siding product to maintain the integrity of the structure while keeping it light, safe, and watertight. To be honest, I own a vintage Airstream so I’m most knowledgeable about them over the more modern models. If you can, join some RV related Facebook groups. Most RV owners are very friendly and helpful to other RV owners. Best of luck!

Hello, I am very new to the RV/motorhome world. I recently purchased a 94’ Suncruiser Winnebago and am currently redoing the inside. I would really like to replace the exterior panels because they are not in the best shape. Any ideas on what to use—would tin be an option or is it too heavy? Thanks in advance!!!!

We are going to remodel a 2000 Safari Continental A Series Single Pop-Out and are trying to find the schematics/floor plan. Does anybody know where to get this? I have tried google and can’t seem to find one. Thanks so much in advance.

I’d love to see your remodel pics. We just bought a 2006 diesel pusher and remodel just started.

Weight is very much an issue in RV’s but for some reason I’m thinking this one was to be installed by a lake and not moved much (I may have it confused with another). I would suspect thin pine was their go-to for the majority of projects.

Thanks so much for reading MHL!

I can’t help but wonder how much weight this remodel added to the RV. It would be nice to know as we have lots of stuff and we would have to cut down a bunch more if the RV GVWR was taken up by the materials used. Do you have information on what materials were used and how much they weighed installed?

Thank you, Cate

I would love to see and share your remodels! Please email me at [email protected] and we’ll get started. Thank you!

Love this remodel, we have 2 RV diesel pusher remodels under our belts now, I just linked up to you on Instagram, I have a ton of pictures of both the remodels if you’d like to see them. Donna

Oh, don’t even get me started on the tiny homes!

Mobile homes were the original tiny homes but those are stigmatized and stereotyped. But tiny homes are cool? Makes no sense to me but I’m biased on the whole subject, I guess.

Great job. I watch those tiny home shows and never can understand why someone would pick one of those over a RV. Most of those tiny homes are not very mobile and from what I have seen lack very much storage. Where as most RV’s make the most of all storage space and if they do not move themselves, they are more easily towable.

Great job & awesome work, salute u sir. I’m totally stunned after looking this kind of transformation .

This is absolutely amazing. I never wanted an RV as they’re too RV-ish! This is a beautiful home. I’d definitely live in something like this. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice indeed. I love the colors that you chose, it’s just simply down home and beautiful. As with any mobile home, RV or camper it’s just hard to tell with the naked eye if there is any mold or damage. I purchased a 14×80 single wide and did see some damage that was figured into the price but it’s what I didn’t see after purchase what was much more expensive after beginning some remodeling. I am older and on a fixed income so after 2 years the remodeling is still taking place, a little at a time is all that can be done. But when finished I will post it on this site.

Thank you for sharing your story. I love this newsletter and the website, so people keep posting.

This is gorgeous. Great job by the designer and the owners.

Thanks so much for the comment. You’re absolutely right – buying an used camper or RV is a very daunting experience because issues are so easily covered and hidden. You have to inspect every inch!

Emotions run high in these situations – most buyers have dreamed of the open road or small living for years and are finally able to make a dream come true. And to be completely honest, the sellers likely don’t even know there is a problem so that complicates things even more.

When I bought my 1965 Airstream Safari there was a foot of snow on the ground so I wasn’t able to inspect the belly very well. I checked everything I could possibly think of though. Fortunately, the only issue I found after getting it home was a small patch of rotted wood at the door (about 2″ x 5″). The owner couldn’t have known about it because there was absolutely no sign of an issue. I only found it because I ripped the flooring up. It turned out to be a dry-rotted seal and was easily fixed but I can’t help but think how bad it could have been and how much luck played into the situation.

Thank for sharing the story about mold and remodeling! From the mold picture shown, the extent of the mold was very serious. Yet, the motor home looked so sound. This story makes me leery of buying any type of RV without first conducting some kind of professional mold inspection. It sounds like simple high-level moisture levels (e.g., shower) can cause the mold…not just “leaks”. What a project!
