"Is this it?"

It sure is Larry, thanks for that... however I was unable to connect to a link. No matter, Chris has posted more than ample shots of the framing/construction to provide LDO members an inside look.   ;D   ;)

Every once in a while, someone will ask the Forum for pictures of a LD's construction.  The following construction photos are from the Media section of the Lazy Daze Owners' Forum posted by other members of the Forum.  I thought these photos might help someone since it's a bit time consuming to plow through all the media photos looking for these.  We are grateful to those who originally posted these in the Forum.  Thank you.

I do notice one difference - when we were at the factory a couple weeks ago observed that the mid-bath propane tank is currently on the driver's side

Kitty, thanks for all the photos you are posting! Will they be uploaded to the Media section of the forum?

Do I need to do that separately? Still figuring out how the forum works...

I think so, Kitty. I’ve never done it myself so can’t advise you.

No, they will not be uploaded to the media section. This is a permanent, continuing thread, pinned so it's always visible at the top of the forum (Lazy Daze Renovations & Improvements) for easy reference. Occasionally I go through a tutorial or informational thread like this and delete some of the general comments so as to keep it fairly dedicated to construction photos or whatever topic. I do the same thing in the Current Banner Photo thread, which also serves as a permanent record to help me from duplicating photos.

Thanks for that bit of info Chris. Always good to know where to find stuff. Darned sight easier than the old Yahoo group!   :o   ;)

So on that last picture of storage on the passenger side. Shouldn't there be a propane tank for a MB in that front undeneath bin?   RonB

The mid-bath propane tank on current rigs is on the driver's side. Not sure which year it switched sides, from the passenger side to the driver's side.

It makes sense to me to have all the utilities on the "utility side" of the rig.

Spend some time looking through the Media files, there are dozens of construction photos to find.

BTW, the aluminum skin is first installed, then the holes for the windows are cut out before the windows are installed.

Since we are on the subject, do you know if the skin is adhered anyway?

I recall, way back in the days of Google and the "Old Forum" there was a post called "Life_With_A_30ft_Lazy_Daze" (or something like that) which was the major determinator of my decision to own the LD brand. That post had numerous views of a LD under construction. Perhaps Chris will remember and try to resurrect it for us once again?   ::)

Check this blog for lots of pictures and details on how the siding goes together.  This post, plus those before and after chronologically.

These construction photos are great. Thanks for loading them. I have a 97 23.5 TK and I wonder what is under the lounge/beds in the back? Is there any storage that could be used?

Under the beds are the two, rear storage compartments. The space inside a T/K is well utilized, not much is unused.

I couldn't find that page but did find the photos of the 2013 TB that I just posted. I am looking through the Yahoo photo archives to see if there are more construction photos to be added to this thread.

Chris - those are my photos of our rig being built...and it looks like you captured all I took

Hi Texas78132;  (I really prefer names....)  Yes there is a little more storage that LD added to the TK in about 2010. They put in a door on the passenger side just above the exhaust pipe. The compartment, with heat shielding, was rotocast plastic, and below floor level.  In the category of 2-3 cubic foot, it is small, but in a TK every little bit is useful. Your '97 and my '99 are on the E350 chassis, so more weight constrained than the E450 chassis.
    The 'lounge' descriptor you used would imply that you have two inside barrel chairs that eliminated one external rear storage compartment, and the ability to make out into a king size bed.  Or do you have the rear dinette with the Twin or King size bed (TK). In that case, like me, you have two rear external outside storage compartments.    RonB

I've never seen the heater before from the outside.  I loved seeing these picture. 

I need to make some repairs to my LD and then sell it.  I'm physically too screwed up to take it out anymore and I wouldn't do it alone.  No fun being alone.  I talk to myself a lot and scream at the TV

You will always have friends here to talk with and share all your LD experience.  New owners can always use the wisdom you possess. 

Wishing you a healthy and happy new year!
