Your new RV is awesome! I know you don't plan on doing a lot of videos this year but I hope you do some showing the modifications and repairs. That would be interesting to watch. Congratulations!
Yeah at first I was sad he sold his Class B because that's what I have. This Trek is super nice and I love the bed! That alone would have made me pick this if I was looking for a larger RV!
Congrats, I have a 2002 Trek 2830, mine has the same emerald green accent color as yours, ps if you want new headlight bezels the ones on the 01/02 Trek came from a 1990-99 International 4700 medium duty truck, the rear tail lights were from a 91-94 E series Ford van. On the gas filler try holding the nozzle upside down. p.s. the blocked in space over the driver seat is the blower for the demist fan (which I have yet to use on my Trek in 4 years and 20,000+ miles of use). Also the Monaco buyout was in July of 2001
Ok thanks! That’s good info. I was wondering about the tail lights. I knew Monaco owned Safari by 2002 but didn’t know the exact date. But I don’t think they had much input on the design and quality until 2003.
@@RamblinMichigander You are right the 2002 Trek is fundamentally a carry over of the 2001 model, with a few minor changes, and a few mostly painless cost cutting measures, ie 1 color scheme offered with a choice of 3 accent colors, vs 3 complete color schemes as previous model year. Or wood floors becoming optional in the kitchen, with roll vinyl being the new standard. On a side point the Dame family is still doing murals or were a couple of years ago check dennisdame.com
we love our trek, too-our bed does not go down that far, tho and the tracks went wonky-? but we love the wood and the huge bathroom! hope you are still enjoying yours-thanks for the vid! our sticker wore off the water system so I got a screen shot for hubby. Planning a trip ourselves, stuck in NM heat for now...
Love your content missed watching but understandable. Can't wait to see her spiffed up. We got ours in the spring of last year. It was fun sometimes lol making her ours.
Dude. Blues City Beast. I live in Memphis area and never saw it on the lists. Hope you do start putting out videos again. The views will go up as you do.
She's a beauty, Gordon. Airy and spacious, with a beautiful kitchen and bathroom and super quality woodwork. Can't wait to see what you do with her. Would have been nice to get a look at the engine bay though. Maybe on the next vlog. Upload when you're ready Gordon but don't leave it too long, mate. We get worried :) I think it's natural for you to have more views on the vids where you are actually fixing the Queen up. I'm positive you'll start getting more views once you start working on the Safari. By the way, have you thought of a name yet? Hope your Mum and dad are doing ok.
Have a PDR (paintless dent repair) specialist come and pull all those dings out. Save the panel and paint. It should be in the low hundreds of dollars.
Oh wow I missed this video! Yeah you got a new RV!! I love it! Especially the bed!! I think you will get a lot of viewers on this larger rig!! I can't wait to see what you do to it! I need to hit the notification bell so I don't miss any of your new videos!! I want that bed setup!
Great Video! Thats the Trek I was looking for. I ended up with a 28' 2002! Which is actually closer to 29', 28'7" I think. The Bath and the Bed was what convinced me too. The blue eyed smow tiger mural on mine still looks decent. I hope to see the Green stripped (I'm blue) heir to the Queen in the future!
Congratulations! I would love to see you explore some of the UP. It's so beautiful, and it seems like none of the travel youtubers ever make it up there.
I like to know the size of wooden blocks you used in the nose part over the cab of your dad's class c and if the man that helped you rebuild it would be interested in building me the same thing and what the price would be. Thanks James
welcome back and happy travels with that interesting coach. elevator beds are just coming up in the tiny rvs we have in germany (like the adria 640 sgx) and I am surprised to see it in US.
@@RamblinMichigander It depends... We decided for an elevatorbed in our tiny adria (6.4m long 3.5to) to get two things. To have the bed permanently ready and to have a "huge" storage underneath for out folding bikes. In our g20 tiara (which is of course no rv but just a van) I replaced the sofa by a self made bed but that was no good. The ppl here don'T want to prepare the bed but just want to use it. personally I would wip of you huge bath and rearrange to have a bed in the back as an option on the ride

I have friend that just watched your video on the explorer and wanted me to ask what your looking to get for it a ballpark would be nice he lives here in Michigan so could get it whenever

Welcome back. Good to see you again. I love the new house and garage.
And welcome back
I love it!!!! So happy for you😊😊. And how awesome you get time off.
From one Trek owner to another, welcome to the first day that will change your travel life for the better, forever.

More power to you with the Safari.

It's ok...I guess..if you like that sort of thing...you know, AWESOME things!!!!
Welcome back!
My first time on your site. I have always loved the Safari Trek. That's how I found you!!
welcome to the channel! Hope you stick around! :-)
Looked at one of those years ago, should of bought it. Love those things.
Good to see you back.Nice rig.
I am so jealous. The Safari Trek is my favorite rv.
So glad your back. Nice rv.
Thanks for making this video. Very informative. I just saw one of these online today. Looking for a smaller class A for next year when I retire.
Dude. Blues City Beast. I live in Memphis area and never saw it on the lists. Hope you do start putting out videos again. The views will go up as you do.
🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 N I C E ❗😃
I LIKE IT 💪🏻
thanks
Use carpet cleaner for the fabric in the bathroom.

I would buy a Safari Trek for the bed also. Nice purchase.
Nice video. Thank you.
Love your new RV. Can’t wait to see new videos

Oh, sell Queen ASAP. Huge van market due to RV’s being sold out because of Covid. I am sure you will get top dollar and sell it really fast!
For real! It took me all summer to finally get our camper. They were being sold as fast as they came in.
Exactly. Just sell “as is” because they’ll do there own thing anyway. 😀
Nice! I have watched you from the beginning good to see this nice upgrade!,!
Thanks for sharing. We just purchased a 2001 Trek and your info is helpful.
Congrats on new RV. You may want to check, because none of the motorized RVs have enclosed propane tank. Not sure why.

Excited to see and hear more, how are the pups?
Stay safe and God bless.
Welcome back . And wow on the rig. Nice.
Love the Trek.
Welcome back but we’re all mad at you abandoning us. Lol. Nice Garage! I’m still jealous. I’m with ya on the videos. My channel sucks.
Just purchased one looking forward to watching your impovements
Welcome back
Congratulations! I would love to see you explore some of the UP. It's so beautiful, and it seems like none of the travel youtubers ever make it up there.
Absolutely. I’m hoping to do that this year. Maybe in August or September.

welcome back and happy travels with that interesting coach. elevator beds are just coming up in the tiny rvs we have in germany (like the adria 640 sgx) and I am surprised to see it in US.
This is the only model I’ve seen with that type of bed. I’m surprised they aren’t more popular.

I like your videos, the content not the music or creativity. Just shoot and upload!
Check out your local body shops, they can do wonders with hail damage dents... It looks close, does it fit in your garage?
I was wondering what happened to you and your van. I'll have to re subscribed.
It was someone commenting on my comment that got my attention. May 2021
. WHERE YOU AT ❓❓❓❓ BEEN 1 0 MONTHS .. 🤷🏻♂️
NEW BEAUTIFUL MOTORHOME ❗❗
Congratulations on the new wheels! How is Sumo?
How’s the fuel mileage?
great video...we are looking at a trek soon. Do you know the weight limit on the bed ? Cant seem to find that anywhere. Thanks
Sorry, I don’t know off hand. But if you go to TrekTraxs.com and create an account, there’s an answer for virtually any question you have.
@@RamblinMichigander I got 500 lbs from someone...good luck with the restore
With the bed down, can the driver comfortably drive or does it cause the driver to drive with the seat too straight up to be comfortable?
Great video! (+1 Sub)
You can't drive with the bed down but mine has an original Jackknife sofa that is good for naps and can be used while driving.
I've been researching this RV. Can you tell me what kind of gas mileage it gets? I'm considering an upgrade to this from my Jayco.
I have friend that just watched your video on the explorer and wanted me to ask what your looking to get for it a ballpark would be nice he lives here in Michigan so could get it whenever
Prob shouldn’t discuss it publicly. Feel free to email me. RamblinMichigander@gmail.com
Was it expensive?
The stupidest things get the views. How to Eat a Watermelon gets 3 million
How is Sumo?
He’s doing well. Didn’t have him outside with me cuz it was too cold for him.
Nice. I’m glad you’re back to filming and happy to hear that Sumo is well.
@@RamblinMichigander I hope when weather gets warmer out can post some pictures.
