Early Lazy Daze Caravans May 21, 2015, 07:42:34 pm Yahoo Message Number: 152894While cleaning out some of our stuff, I came across a couple pictures we had acquired of early Lazy Daze Caravans where they really caravaned! I scanned them and put them in an album on this site. Feel free to add any caravan images you wish to add. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/lifewithalazydazerv/photos/albums/1019419663 Art

The rear LD is at least an 1984 or newer model. Back when boondocking, with large groups, was still legal.Before inventing the Class-C motorhome, LD produced pickup campers. I have never seen one in person.Larry

Re: Early Lazy Daze Caravans Reply #3 – May 21, 2015, 09:32:43 pm Yahoo Message Number: 152897Nice pictures. Brings back memories of my parents first camper, I guess a class C, built on the 64 or 65 Ford Camper Special. The pickup bed was replaced by the house part. Much like the third or fourth camper in the pictured line up. My memories of that camper was a big part of the LD purchase. John

There are pictures of their campers above the front window of the mothership. When I went to buy my LD in 2004 I owned a truck & camper. I think that I spent an hour discussing truck campers with Ed before we got down to discussing motorhomes.Doug Baker

Re: Early Lazy Daze Caravans Reply #8 – May 22, 2015, 07:57:10 pm Yahoo Message Number: 152910Many years ago while off-roading in Saline Valley I saw a Lazy Daze camper on a Chevy truck. It wasn't like the Motor Homes at all. Built with corrugated aluminum siding it looked like any other truck camper. I never got to speak to the owner, to me it was just another camper like the Lance I had on my Ford truck. Probably better quality.bobmoore14
