The Alto R1723
The Safari Condo Alto R1723 is the R Series model for shoppers who like the compact, retractable-roof Alto design, but want a more self-contained bathroom setup.
It keeps the lightweight feel of the Alto R Series, while adding one feature that matters a lot to many campers: an indoor shower with curtain. That makes the R1723 a strong choice for people who want a small travel trailer that is still practical for longer trips, campground hopping, and camping away from full-service washrooms.
If you are comparing the Alto R1713 and R1723, the decision usually comes down to one thing: do you want the larger rear bed area, or do you want the indoor shower?
What is the Alto R1723?
The Alto R1723 is a compact retractable-roof travel trailer in Safari Condo’s Alto R Series lineup. It is built for campers who want a lightweight trailer that is easier to tow and store than a traditional full-height RV, but still gives them a real interior living space.
Like the other R Series models, the R1723 uses a retractable roof. When the roof is lowered, the trailer has a lower profile for towing and storage. When the roof is raised, the interior opens up with more standing height and a bright, open feel.
That is the main appeal of the R Series. You get a trailer that feels compact when you are moving it, but more comfortable once you are set up.
Why RVers Choose the R1723
The R1723 is popular because it gives you more bathroom functionality without turning into a large trailer.
Inside, you get a 60 x 76 inch rear bed area, a front dinette that converts into a 36 x 81 inch single bed, a kitchenette, front storage, a flush toilet, and an indoor shower with curtain. For a trailer this size, that combination is a big part of the appeal.
Sleeping and Dining Layout
The rear of the R1723 has a 60 x 76 inch bed area. This is the main sleeping space and works well for couples or solo campers who want a comfortable rear bed without moving into a larger trailer.
At the front, the dinette converts into a 36 x 81 inch single bed area. That gives the trailer added flexibility if you are travelling with a child, guest, or occasional third sleeper.
One useful detail is that the front dining area can still be used even when the rear bed is deployed. That means the trailer does not have to be constantly rearranged just to move between sleeping, eating, and relaxing.
Kitchen and Bathroom Setup
The R1723 includes a kitchenette with pull-out shelves, a two-burner flush-mounted LPG stove, a built-in 4.3 ft³ 12V compressor fridge, and a combined heating and water heater system that runs on LPG and electricity.
The bathroom is where the R1723 really separates itself from the R1713. The R1723 includes a toilet/shower compartment with curtain, an installed flush toilet, a black water tank, an indoor shower, and an outdoor hand shower.
