Production Life Span
Any idea how long Lazy Daze will be producing motorhomes? I'm probably 3 to 5 yrs away from ordering. Once Lazy Daze is gone, that will be the end of quality built class c's with all those big windows.

"Any idea how long Lazy Daze will be producing motorhomes?"

I'm going to wing it here, go out on a limb as it were, and make a prediction.

If Steve Newton lives to the age of his father and Uncle, all the while retaining control of the company, I'd say it's going to be another 15-20 years.

But, it depends on which direction and how hard the wind blows!   ::)

I think we might see a small resurrection of small independent businesses building things that are quality made.
Lazy Daze has an advantage in that they have been doing it that way all along.
How long Steve decides to do it, is another thing.

No one can tell you, because I don't think anyone here knows. 

If I was in your shoes, I would order sooner rather than later.

It's a rough time for small business.  It's a rough time for manufacturing.  It's a rough time for small manufacturing in CA.  Small businesses have a hard time transferring between generations.

LazyDaze is that last manufacturer I know of with the low volume, high quality, factory direct model for Class C RVs.  They have already beaten the odds.  There are good reasons that all of the others have closed.

Sorry to be pessimistic.  This isn't a prediction based on any kind of specific knowledge about LazyDaze.
