After waiting nearly 18 months, I finally took delivery of my 2017 Mid-Bath on May 25th. I had shipped around 18 boxes to Lazy Daze as I had so much stuff from my 2003 Twin-King and had ordered a few new things. Had the ICC driver take me to Las Vegas. I had planned on only spending one night there, but ended up staying two nights as it took me that long just to unpack the boxes. The Lazy Daze is beautiful! I sure like the additional room compared to my previous LD. As an option, I had a second table put in the rear lounge, like there is in the Twin-King. I had been very anxious about the prospect of driving a longer RV, but am finding that there is not much difference from the shorter Twin-King. Haven’t backed up much so can’t report on that yet. As others had mentioned, the upholstering of the sofas is not the same quality as that of the older model. I had all the upholstery in the coach and the valences made in the same fabric, ash, which is like a tweed. I think it looks very nice and I will be able to change colors with accessories.   The shades are now pull-down white blinds for privacy and a screened/mesh-type shade for the sun. I just love the floor with no carpeting at all except for in the cab. It is so much easier to keep the floor clean. In fact, I had planned on buying throw rugs first thing, but the floor looks so nice that I haven’t and am not sure that I will.

A couple of comical things occurred. When I was at the airport in NJ and going through security for my flight to CA, I was patted down. Then two agents started going through my carry-on luggage. I could sense that they were suspicious about something. I had packed a while back and couldn’t even remember what I had packed. As it turned out, I had a sealed box that the Tireman had mailed me containing tire valves stems for the LD. They opened the box. I could see where the valve stems might have looked like weapons in the x-rays.   Then when Todd had picked me up at Enterprise car rental, one of the first things he asked me was where I was going to put the inversion table and book shelves in the LD. I had been saving boxes to ship things and there was a box that had originally contained an inversion table and two boxes that had originally contained book shelves. He said everyone at Lazy Daze was speculating about where these items were going to fit inside the RV. We had a good laugh.

Todd told me to keep an eye on the front tires to determine if I need an alignment. I have been driving in very windy weather so am not sure if the LD needs an alignment or if the wind bursts have been responsible for swaying. I’m still looking for someone to install the valve stems. Am traveling in ID, MT, WY, OR, and CA during the next months.
