Welcome aboard the 2005 Panther where luxury living

meets state-of-the-art performance. Many residential-

style details combine to create your home-away-from-

home, including the gorgeous woodwork, with solid

wood raised panel cabinet doors, crown molding and

beautiful decorative slide-out fascia trim. Overhead,

you’ll love the recessed padded vinyl ceiling design,

and underfoot, you’ll enjoy designer carpeting or our

optional sculptured carpet, like the one shown here.

The cozy dining area features our ingenious legless table

with Corian® top and stylish chairs, and the living area

is highlighted by plush furnishings in richly patterned

fabrics or optional soft leather coverings.

Each year, our designers bring you

a wide selection of exciting color

schemes. And 2005 is no exception.

Deluxe full-body paint and

on the road. While inside the

coach, you’ll have your choice of

seven stunning cabinet styles and

two beautifully coordinated decors,

Edwardian Black and Merlot.

weights & measurements

P A N T H E R w e i g h t s & m e a s u r e m e n t s

Due to the large variety of options and floorplan arrangements available to our customers, actual weights for each unit can differ significantly. Safari provides a weight sticker on each unit we produce which includes that unit’s tank capacities and approximate weight. Consult your local Safari dealer for unit availability and further information. The information printed in this brochure reflects product design, fabrication, and component parts at the date of printing. The manufacturer reserves the right, at any time, to make changes in product design or material or component specifications as its sole option,without notice. This includes the substitution of components of a different brand or trade name, which will result in comparable performance. All informationprinted in this brochure is subject to change after the date of printing. Some features shown or mentioned in this brochure are optional and may only beavailable in selected floorplans. Photographs may show props or decorations that are not standard equipment on Safari models. Safari, the Safari logo and itsdesign, are registered trademarks. All other products and company names are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of their respective holders.

While the color of the motorhome’s exterior and the interior fabrics depicted in this sales brochure are fair and reasonable depictions, the colors depictedmay not be an exact match of the actual colors because of the variances in photo-processing and variances caused by inserting the photographs within thesales brochure. Due to product improvements, changes during the model year and/or transcription errors that may occur, information represented within thisbrochure may not be accurate at the time of your purchase. If certain information is significant to your purchasing decision, please confirm the informationwith your dealer prior to submitting your order.

The actual overall length of the recreational vehicle may differ from that indicated in the brochure due to variances in the manufacturing process and/orinstalled components. The actual length may be greater or less than that indicated.

* Towing capacity is limited by GCWR; your vehicle’s towing capacity is the difference between the GCWR and the actual vehicle weight, including all water, fuel, passengers and cargo. Your towed vehicle should be equipped with auxiliary brakes if the weight of the towed vehicle exceeds 1,000 lbs. Consult your Owner’s Manual for further towing information.

** All tank capacities are estimated based upon calculations provided by the tank manufacturers and represent approximate capacities. The actual “usable capacity” may be greater or less than the estimated capacities based upon fabrication and installation of the tanks.

*** Actual filled LP capacity is 80% of listing due to safety shut-off required on tank.
