Hi

We've bought an Autosleeper Exec 2005 with the standard Thule Omnistor - I think it is 5000 or 5002?

I want to fit the Safari Residence, so my question is, do I just buy the package (for example this), or do I need to buy some form of adapting/ attaching it to the existing roll-out awning?

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum,

Everything you need to attach the safari residence is included,the sides attach with clamps and the front slides into the existing awning.

One thing to check is the mounting height of your existing awning,I made that mistake and the habitation door was catching on the awning rafter.

Be VERY sure that a safari room is what you actually want before lashing out !!!

Many MH owners have (and I stress HAVE) owned them and the majority it is safe to say have sold them and gone for driveaway awnings instead !! (and I am one of them)

Do a search on here, this matter has been discussed a lot !!!

Thanks for the welcome and the advice.

I assume the the mounting height is simply the height from ground level to existing awning level?

Thanks, I'll have a look around.

My main use for the residence will be when I'm at racetracks - they tend to be open and windy and I'm normally there 3 days and 2 nights, so need something sturdy. I currently use a free standing fold-up marquee (Gala Tent pro), but would prefer a single unit (Motorhome + residence) to two separate units.

Hi Gerhard,

The mounting height is the measurement from the lower part of the awning to the ground.

If its the same Safari room that I have you need to carry some steps to fit the end bars on the top canvas, ok if you have the room.

Alan.

I can certainly recommend the residence in terms of sturdiness.

Mine has been up in all weathers and has proved totally weather proof and taken high winds in its stride.

When you first open the kit it looks very complicated, but after the first couple of Embarassed erections it will be very easy and quick to put up.

There is a very good demo here on YouTube, made by Thule Omnistor.

PS the video is in two parts the second part is on the right hand list.
