Re: Heading to the Mothership Friday - Do You Have Questions for Them? Reply #1 – August 06, 2019, 05:32:59 pm Probably too soon but could you inquire if they have any advance info on the 2021 Ford chassis, specifically how it might affect Lazy Daze’s specifications in the future? Thank you!
Re: Heading to the Mothership Friday - Do You Have Questions for Them? Reply #2 – August 06, 2019, 05:35:32 pm Congratulations on deciding on a Lazy Daze. The Mid-Bath is a good, and the most popular choice. The wait may seem to be a long one but it is worth it when the call comes. We've owned three LDs and a couple of SOBs (some other brand). We always came back to the LD.Don't let the "Look" of the factory and showroom discourage you. It looks the same as it did when we bought our first 17 footer in the early 70s from Ed and Paul Newton. They still build the finest Class C available.Ron & GinnieK32 IB 4 Likes

Re: Heading to the Mothership Friday - Do You Have Questions for Them? Reply #6 – August 07, 2019, 10:12:19 am Think of the end caps as a “feature” instead of a flaw, kinda like Lake Newton. 😉

Re: Heading to the Mothership Friday - Do You Have Questions for Them? Reply #9 – August 07, 2019, 03:19:43 pm I’d expect price increases across the board, and would be very surprised if Steve provided any “answers” to the questions about the new Ford itself, but one can always ask! 😉

They don't anticipate this will change the chassis. 1 Likes

Did you get on the waiting list? If so, what is the anticipated wait time?I did get on the waitlist, but wasn't given an estimate beyond the usual 12-18 months.Currently many more than usual, about half, on the waitlist are saying they no longer want a LD when they get the call (already found a used one, bought something else..) and many are failing to call LD to update their status, making it harder to nail down an estimate.Guess we'll wait and see :-) We'll be delighted whenever it's our turn. 2 Likes
