No dealers carry new LDs, but some may have used ones on their lots.
BTW, you actually can sell a depreciated vehicle...you just have to recapture the depreciation that you took previously. It's the same thing as if you sold a piece of business real estate, or a car that you used in your business. Your tax advisor can give you the specifics.

There are no dealers that sell new LDs.  They all come directly from the factory.  I don't know what to tell you about a fully depreciated RV.  Maybe you could donate it to a charity or something.  I tend to drive my cars until they have negligible resale value, and I give them to my grown children.
Good luck on whatever you decide to do.

'does anyone know of any dealers.. who carry lazy daze."
 As Sonsie explained, new Lazy Dazes are sold only direct from the factory. Of course you can purchase a used one from a dealer, but you will generally not get a good deal that way. After all, dealers must make a profit! Buying from a private party is almost always a better way to go. If you open the Files area of this website, and look in the "Frequently Asked Questions" folder, you'll find a very helpful document on shopping for a used Lazy Daze.

 People sell used diesel pushers all the time. And again, you'll seldom get as good a deal from a dealer as from a private party, because dealers must add their profit margin. May I recommend a book? J.D. Gallant's "How to Outwit Any Auto, Truck, or RV Dealer Every Time" (http://tinyurl.com/o2vxd>) explains how dealers use trade-ins and other tricks to confuse buyers--it was written by a former RV salesman. I highly recommend reading it before you make any decisions about how best to upgrade from your diesel pusher.
