Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Safari Zanzibar for Winter Use?
Permalink  

I am in the market for a used DP for all-weather full-timing (I may have to spend time in WI and MN during the colder months).  According to RV Consumer Group, only the Safari Panther is rated for full-timing.  I see that the Panther has All Season Foam Insulated Roof, Insulated Aluminum Baggage Doors with Power Locks, and Two-Layer Flooring.  The Zanzibar is rated for snowbirding.

Does anyone know whether a Zanzibar can be comfortably used in the winter?

Thank you!

Liz

When talking DP's for winter usage the happiest people have diesel furnace/hot water systems like Aqua-hots and Oasis systems, which the Panther has and most or all Zanzibars do not. My memories of the Zanzibar is it was two levels below the Panther, with the Serengeti model between. There are a lot of differences.
