Wayback Machine capture of Lazy Daze' website
A fascinating post that I've bookmarked for my future reading pleasure.  Terry, your account of your LD experience captures so many reasons why Margee and I own and enjoy our Lazy Daze and the world of RVs.  If I could give it 5 stars *****, I would.  (Maybe I just did!)  Thank you for taking the time to post it.
Us too, having used a 78 VW Bus for 15+ years doing a lot of camping with other VW Bus owners our 1999 LD is the perfect upgrade for us.

I found this information while searching for something else and thought it was appropriate to re-post here.   This section is certainly a bit disjointed but nevertheless it is what it is!

Who can forsee the future?  LD was started in the 1950s by Paul Newton and Harold Hamm.  Harold Hamm died a few years later.  Paul's brother Ed was brought in early on for his business knowledge.  Paul died about the mid 2000s and Ed a few years after.  Both Paul and Ed had families, but I believe only Ed's son Steve (who currently owns and runs LD) is the only family member actively involved with LD.  Last I knew, Steve does not have any family to follow him.  LD did survive the last recession, but who knows what might happen if another downturn happens.  LD has always stood behind their product and will pay for warranty service elsewhere.

This thread offers some insight into the early history of the people who started building LDs.  It’s at least interesting IMO for those of us without first hand experience with the Company. 

Jeff Newton?

Thanks Margee; Truly a blast to see many of the photos. I still have a 'hard copy' brochure of the model year that mine was built.   RonB
