Where is everyone? April 29, 2016, 02:55:59 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160172Hi All, We've been traveling west of the Mississippi since late March and I've only seen one other Lazy Daze, a blue, old style paint scheme at Dead Horse Ranch state park in Cottonwood, AZ. We spent a couple of weeks in Tucson in early April...no LD's, and we've been in Utah for the past couple of weeks, no LD's. Are we too early? The weather has been chancy. We're at Moab now, destined for Arches.Just curious, Bonnie Red old style scheme MB
Re: Where is everyone? Reply #1 – April 29, 2016, 04:51:06 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160174We just left Moab to go east 2 weeks ago. Other than seeing Lorna and 2 other LD owners at Sierra the Skp park up by Yosemite, we haven't seen a LD since we left the SE GTG in Jekyl Island GA last year. We traveled highways and byways. Always alone (;~) ! Art and Sandy KalleAnka 96 TK Vermont Art said he saw a 1982 LD at Lake Corpus Christie SP Tx as well as a 2005 about the same time. Both were overnighters, didn't get names or numbers

Re: Where is everyone? Reply #3 – April 29, 2016, 06:44:24 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160177We saw at least two LD's parked at the Casa del Sol Casino in Tucson and another two at Pilot Knob LTVA west of Yuma this past winter. We've seen others, too, either passing us going the opposite direction, or parked here and there.

Re: Where is everyone? Reply #5 – April 30, 2016, 09:09:15 am Yahoo Message Number: 160180We've been on the road since 10/12/15 and have seen 5 LDs...2 were briefly in the same RV parks as us, 2 were in transit, and 1 was parked in an AZ RV park that we were looking through. The Captain also met an LD owner in Las Cruces NM who lived in the area of where we were staying.Maybe we'll spot a few more on the way from FL to ME, but not likely!TinaP 2006 MB

Re: Where is everyone? Reply #8 – April 30, 2016, 02:42:54 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160194Just curious but maybe less than 3000 on the road total. How far off am I? At the build rate the numbers can't be very high.Sent from Garry's iPhone
Re: Where is everyone? Reply #9 – April 30, 2016, 03:30:12 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160196We are in Port Aransas, Tx. We don't see many LD's in our part of the world. We have seen the same LD up near Kerrville and keep thinking they live on the area. Cindy Adata and the girls
Re: Where is everyone? Reply #10 – April 30, 2016, 07:20:07 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160198We didn't see the one when we stopped in Kerrville Wed, headed East on I-10. No others either. Stopover in Scott, LA. Will look for some at Grand Isle tomorrow. If you see a strip of radial ply just East of MP 7, that's ours. Don't seem to be a lot of tire dealers in Lafayette open on Sundays. Any suggested brands aside from Michelin? There seem to be some cheap chinese carp which look suspicious.Wandering toward FloridaJoel & MaryCharlie & Dora 13 31 IB /11 CRV towd
Re: Where is everyone? Reply #11 – April 30, 2016, 10:43:43 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160201Living in SoCal, we see them often but the numbers have dropped off over the last few years. In the pre- internet days, most LDs were located in Southern California and Arizona. Now, a good percentage are sold out of state. And LD only produces half of what they once did. In a time of increasing RV sales, LD is slowly fading away. Once Ford ends production of the E450, who knows what will happen. I don't know if Steve would be willing to invest in re-designing the templates for the seven floor plans, to fit whatever the market comes up with for the Class C market. See them while you can.Larry
Re: Where is everyone? Reply #12 – May 01, 2016, 05:50:09 am Yahoo Message Number: 160205We spent two weeks in February out at Grand Isle SP and enjoyed some fantastic weather. Great place for bike riding and walking on the beach. It's a ways down there, but at least there's a small village there with a grocery/general store.Enjoy!WxToad (Ted)QuotePosted by: "joel wiley" Date: Sat Apr 30, 2016 5:20 pm ((PDT))We didn't see the one when we stopped in Kerrville Wed, headed East on I-10.

Re: Changed to Tire Recommendation Reply #13 – May 01, 2016, 11:56:05 am Yahoo Message Number: 160206We have full timed in our 30' LD for over 7 years now and are always at or near the weight limit. Almost 5 years ago we purchased a set of Uniroyal Laredo and have been very happy with them. They were recommended by the dealer who also carried the Michelin and did a lot of truck and tractor/trailer tires. He didn't have them on hand and had to order so he wasn't trying to move them off the floor.In our view the ride is a bit more comfortable than the original Michelin, they were less expensive and had the added benefit of being just a bit narrower which reduces the likelihood of the duallys kissing if they were to get a bit low. We also use a TPMS so that shouldn't be happening without our knowing.I guess I should also add that I wasn't shopping based on finding the least expensive tire I was trying to find the best tire to do the job. I will probably replace them in the next year or so and will look at what is out there but will very likely go back with them assuming nothing has changed.Jim C

Re: Changed to Tire Recommendation Reply #16 – May 01, 2016, 04:03:41 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160214TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System Linda Hylton
Re: Changed to Tire Recommendation Reply #17 – May 01, 2016, 04:21:21 pm Yahoo Message Number: 160215Patsy Orr asked what is TPMS. From the ole Internet:TPMS is an electronic system inside the tire that monitors the air pressure in your tires. If your tires are under- or over-inflated, the TPMS activates a warning light on your dashboard. This system can be a life-saver. Btw, we don't have one yet but it's on our list.Ed & Margee '09 MB
