Lazy Daze spotted on facebook.
I was browsing through PanAmerican Travelers association via fb and I noticed a gentleman who was selling a LD from Chile in June.   It made me wonder how LD was transported to Chile.  Many roads, countries in the south of the border, are narrow and definately not to par of US standard roads.  I'm not sure if it is still for sale nor if the seller is a scammer, but in good faith you can find him on facebook for those who are interested.  I would personally like to hear about his adventure with LD in South America.  I would like to plan a trip similar to this in the future.  Has anyone been further south than Mexico with their LD?  Thank you   -Dave

From the second photo, looks like it was transported via ship. That would be quite the adventure!

Yes indeed.  I monitor the Panamerican traveler association site, and many do ship their vehicle upon arrival at Panama.  Regardless whether he drove it part of the way and/or shipped it, i must say it is very adventurous and courageous to take a LD, 26 footer into these narrow roads.

The OP post may have answered one question that I've had in the back of my brain.  Where is the most southern destination for any Lazy Daze RV?  Looks like Chile may be in the running.  I've also wondered about the most northern destination too.  Seems I read somewhere that one of the LD Faithful made it to Barrow, AK.  At the least, that northern destination should also be in the running for the furthest north.

As I recall, there was a family on the Yahoo LDO last year this time who wanted to buy a Mid-Bath and drive it down to South America.  They asked a lot of good questions but seemed unprepared for many of the answers given here.  Maybe they made it?

To the best of my knowledge there are no roads into Barrow AK! That is, after all, the very reason for the          Iditarod Race.

By road I seriously doubt... By sea, maybe!   :o

  Back in the late 80s i was a passenger in a small motor home owned by my father in law. The trip was from the Llanos of Venezuela up through the Andes to the ciry of Merida. There were no guard rails on a narrow road with drops of a thousand feet straight down. i was absolutely terrified. Of course my Venezuelan wife and inlaws were having a great time drinking beer, playing guitars, and making fun of the big sissy gringo curlud up in a fetal position and  wimpering in the corner. The scenery in Merida was beautiful. The trip was horrifying.

Hello Jim and welcome to the LD Owners' Forum.  Look forward to hearing more from you and about you.  Take care.

Here's a SLO County couple who made it to Chili in their non-LD RV:
