We're selling our Lazy Daze.

Reason: We were spoiled by our Foretravel motor home experience and bought a second one. (Our 1997 Rear Bath was our second Lazy Daze.
First was a new 2003 Mid-Bath. If you call us crazy we will not object ;o)

About our 1997 Rear Bath.
First off, I call it a Boondocker's delight because of the following:

1. Four solar panels
2. Two 8D Lifeline AGMs - 510 amp-hours. Plus a great battery monitor that enables you to accurately know the condition of your batteries.
3. 1300 watt inverter that powers every 120v outlet
4. Catalytic propane heater right across from the dinette. Boy are we glad we had this. Very efficient use of propane.
5. Propane plumbing to enable attaching an external large propane tank for boondockers.
6. A swamp cooler. Runs on 12v. I was surprised it even supplied cool air in the non-desert atmosphere of the San Francisco Bay Area last Summer.
7. Insulation panels for all window/vent openings for cold weather boondocking.
8. Trik-L-Start plus solar keeps your engine ready to start while boondocking

We purchased the Lazy Daze a year ago. It was only after we bought it that we appreciated all the unusual added features it had.

For example, the 1300 watt inverter means you can power the refrigerator with electricity while you drive and save propane. Of course, you can also run the swamp cooler while you drive for the convenience of passengers I'm not sure if you could run the AC on the inverter for them.

Since we bought it a year go we added the following:

6 new tires. $1600

Lifeline AGMs plus monitor - $2500 at Am Solar in Oregon
Its previous owner had an electric step and damaged it. It had no step when we bought it. The factory added it latest bullet-proof manual step. $500

Tim Pease performed a few mods like adding the Trik-L-Start

It has synthetic liquids in the crankcase and rear end, which I'll refresh before sale. As well as have Ford fix a headlight and anything else they find.
It does not have a generator. But if you decide you'd like to add one of those great small quiet Honda generators, the now empty factory battery compartment is an ideal vented compartment to store the gasoline can for it.
It has HWH jacks for leveling it. This is a great improvement over the blocks we had to use with our 2003 Mid-Bath.
It has an actual spare tire! (In the location our 2003 Mid-Bath did not ;o)

All original sale and component documents and maintenance records.
It's currently in Fremont, CA and we'll be moving it to El Centro, CA within two weeks.
Pictures will have to come later since we are en route to Florida to pick up our Foretravel
I could set the sale price high and negotiate down to a fair price. I think a fair price is $19.5K. First come, first serve.
If it is over the line I apologize for posting like this. I'll submit a standard For Sale file uploaded posting when I'm not rushed and make sure I included all features I should have, and have photos (we're in Houston right now headed for Tampa).
