Interior details of my 1966 Airstream Safari

The original floor plan for the Safari is shown in this diagram. I have made substantial changes to customize the interior for my lifestyle.

Floorplan of 1966 Safari

As you enter my coach, this is the view toward the rear. All appliances are original and in working order.  I got rid of the stock A/C because air conditioning is not needed at the beach and uses too much power. In it's place I installed a Fantastic Vent, which provides instant cool air throughout the coach.

I accessorize my Airstream with items of stainless steel/aluminum, including microwave and small toaster oven to the galley. I recently installed slate gray mini blinds throughout the coach replacing the original curtains. I also re-designed the side couch with a full queen size bed that folds into a couch. I now use a plump cotton futon that makes both the couch and bed configurations more firm.

Turning around and looking toward the front, the unit has a plush futon couch/full sofa. Videography workstation provides free HD TV antenna reception, high speed internet wireless connection and a wide variety of modern electronic components.

Located next to the door, the window bookshelf fits above the Airstream table.

 The table retains normal functionality including complete fold up. It can enable a romantic dinner for two or act as a desk for my office.

Built entirely of oak, the window bookshelf houses computer manuals and peripheral gear. The space underneith the bench is storage for film negatives and additional electronic components as required. This media suite is decidedly the most comfortable that I have ever assembled. Note the refrigerator only inches away from the chair :) Also please note that I exercise to keep in shape.

And now the photo you've all been waiting for: The Bathroom :)

Flash from the Past - 1966 head!

The bathroom is in stock condition with lighting being the only exception. The shower curtain is fastened to the left bulkhead wall via snaps.  When unsnapped it follows the curved track.  There are small white fasteners sewn into the top of the curtain that attach to the track.  The shower head can be detached and moved to a lower position or used by hand.  The stock water heater has been replaced with a Precision Temp "on demand" (tankless) water heater, which allows showers of very long duration :) There is a toilet seat cover (outside of the frame right) which comes down to cover the toilet seat. I have commisioned a cover made of oak, replaced the old fluorescent with a new 12 volt model and have found and added some wonderful SS accessories for the bath.
