Someone looking for a newer LD might want to check this one out.

2013 Lazy Daze 26.5 REAR BATH, Woodburn OR - - RVtrader.com

What a nice coach! 

I have been thinking about looking for a newer one like this. If I hadn't just booked a room by the Pomona RV show/Lazy daze factory, I might have drove the other direction!  ;)

I'm striking out on Lazy Daze in the $25--35K range. I have been looking for a while, but the logistics of long distance buying is depressing me.  :P

I am giving myself a week to regroup and really decide if I want to spend the $$$ for an almost new one.

I am visiting the factory tomorrow, then off to the RV show on Thursday.  I guess I should see what has changed in the RV market, as my head and my heart still belongs to my beloved 1986 multiplan...

Kay,
Enjoy the show.  I really enjoyed seeing the fifth wheel toy haulers.  The problem was that they have gotten too darned heavy, too long for almost all the places we like to stay, and they are built to survive the trials and demands of days, not years. The build quality was very poor and the price tags were very high.  Then we looked at Sprinter based platforms and were appalled at the ridiculously low OCCC on almost all of them. The big Tiffens were nice, but I don't want a motorhome that costs more than my house (nor can I afford one), nor do I want a coach that can't fit in 90% of the places we like to camp.

After two days of examining everything of interest at the show, we were back at the Lazy Daze factory with a new appreciation for the build quality, carefully thought out improvements over the years, lack of flash and glitz, and solid workmanship. LD isn't perfect, but they are better than anything else we had seen.  We began looking at Lazy Daze models from the 2002 era, then 2008, then hoping for a more recent model.  We even bothered people we met in campground and offered to buy their rigs.  When we found the one we now own, we ended up spending way more money than I had allotted for the Lazy Daze, but looking back, I'm glad we did.  We are heading out on a ten day trip on Friday.

"I like the green.
2001 lazy days - rvs - by owner - vehicle automotive sale"

I would be very careful with this one.  The description context is VERY suspicious.

A friend once found her own rig being advertised for sale by a scammer.  They had stolen her pictures off the net and put in their own text and basic contact information.  They had even included portions of her yard, so there was no doubt that it was her rig.

Watch for the same rig to show up being advertised in various cities.

Yea Judie it’s always good to use caution with Craigslist ads. But at least the phone number on this one matches the location of the ad. And it has a California plate on it.

If this 2001 is a 'V-8', it's a diesel. If it's gas, it's a V-10. I, too , would be wary of this ad/seller.

Looks like it sold. Price was good for only having 54,000 miles.

Thought that sounded like a great deal! GONE ALREADY!!
I thought so too! I talked to the individual and he was selling for his Grandparents that have owned it since new. I saw some issues (and not many pictures) on the passenger side just above the outside storage door under the dinette. He sent more pictures and it was heavily damaged (aluminum side as well as door and frame) but he said "the door still opened". Also, he just noticed the center rear window was cracked.

Well that explains the low price. Expensive to fix body damage.
