Lazy Daze Rear Kitchen
Why did LD stop producing the rear kitchen model? My search on this site did not provide any results

Couldn’t locate anything either, beyond 2015 was the last year it was an option.

Since we can’t call up the mothership, have to believe it was simplification of their options, dropping the least ordered configuration.

It was the least sold model so they discontinued it.

LD pared down less popular floor plans over several years; see the link to “Changes through the Years” on the message board’s home page.
2003 TK has a new home

Looked there, no mention of the discontinued RK there.

"Thank you for the screenshot. It reassured me that I was not the only person who could not find any other information."

I don't think the Lazy Daze Company ever made announcements about changes to their models.
I made a post on the old Yahoo Group, post #158522, about getting the new order kit for the 2016 models and noted that the Rear Kitchen floor plan appeared to be discontinued.

By that time, Lazy Daze was producing far fewer units per year. It would make sense to cut costs by eliminating the least popular floor plan as they had done previously with the 26.5 Island Bed.

LD's 2015 sale brochure still showed the RK being available, it might have been the last year.
The RK is a nice floorplan.

We had a MB which I really liked. Now we have a RK which my wife really likes, even better than the MB. She loves the windows around the kitchen which allows views and light in. Overall  I think both plans are great.

I believe the rear kitchen would provide more legroom (for the driver) than the mid-bath because the refrigerator is not directly behind the driver's seat.

That is the Achilles heel of the MB, positioning of the fridge.  Every time I though a MB would be fine, I reminded myself that I would not be comfortable squeezing into the driver’s seat.   The TK’s brilliant option to have the driver’s seat extend into bathroom is a game changer for folks over 6’.

I always wonder about the complaints about the MB's lack of room for us tall people.  I know each of us likes different seat settings, but I for one found it to not be a problem at all.  I put on about 100K miles on my 2000 MB (that was before they extended the length to 27 ft, but after they put the spare tire in the rear compartment).  I'm 6'3" with pretty long legs and at times (like trying to make time to get to a funeral across country) put in 10 hours straight driving. I just never found it to be a problem.  I wonder if the folks complaining about it have actually experienced a real problem.

I am also 6'-3" or was that height at one time.  We have the 98~MB so we are in the shorter driver configuration also and I can tell you that I notice that it is shorter then our SUV or other vehicles that we drive But I have gotten used to it and Karen at 5'9" also has enjoyed driving our WanderDaze many miles.  I now find myself moving our seat further up in our Trailblazer to be more comfortable.

Would it be safe to assume that the rear kitchen and the rear bath have the same setup for the driver's seat?

Karen just underwent emergency surgery and is now 5'9". The patient is doing fine and has resumed normal activities.
