Where might I locate this information? If you mean the LD website, you will have to pick up the phone and call them or send an e-mail. Both the e-mail address and phone number are on the site. I doubt the '08s are even orderable yet, LD runs several months behind the chassis year. I think they were still shipping '06 models until May '07, although with a new chassis for 08, they not be that far behind this year.I was by there last week, and they did have at least one chassis, still in plastic wrap, sitting on their lot.-Dave '06 MB, Indianapolis

Re: 2008 models Reply #6 – November 23, 2007, 08:48:10 pm Yahoo Message Number: 86228Quote I have in front of me as we speak, the official 2008 LD order form, price list, option price list, etc. Spoke to Steve last week. The figures I reported are 100% accurate as of last week. Ed On Nov 23, 2007, at 18:37, Ed wrote:Here are the 2008 prices This is for the new 2008 Ford chassis , not a leftover 2007.

Also, in addition to receiving the 2008 price list, I asked about option pricing and the reply from the Mother Ship was, "The options and pricing remain essentially the same as last year except the 15,000BTU A.C. will be standard on all 27' models. This will actually help streamline production by eliminating an option." Additional questions I asked included: Do you offer your previous year showroom models for sale? Any discount on these? Are there any leftover '07s? To which they replied, "We sell the showroom models at the end of each year. We recently started selling them. They are being sold at the '07 price and any options they have will be included in the price. They all have solar as well as some other options on some of the models. We currently have only one '07 158" chassis (23.5' coach) left to sell outside of the floor models." For further information, just give them a call.

Re: 2008 models Reply #8 – November 23, 2007, 11:20:13 pm Yahoo Message Number: 86237I emailed the mothership last week asking when I may order a new 27'reply was "we are taking orders now"
Re: 2008 models Reply #9 – November 23, 2007, 11:29:11 pm Yahoo Message Number: 86238Quote I emailed the mothership last week asking when I may order a new 27'reply was "we are taking orders now" I was at the Mothership last week and ordered a 2008 Mid-Bath. The price on all three model sizes is $3000.00 more. Most of the options were same price as 2007. They had one or two 2008 chassis at the time. One is now mine. The question about the 13.5k btu and the 15k btu a/c is probably that it cools a bit better in the hotter climes. It is now standard on the 27 and 30 ft models. Hope this helps. Dave

Re: 2008 models Option prices Reply #13 – November 24, 2007, 02:23:32 pm Yahoo Message Number: 86256Thanks for posting the prices, Ed! One item puzzles me, though:"V-10 engine in the 24' models:$1,050" Since all LDs, including the 23.5' ones, built from 1997 onward have had V10s, does this mean the smaller LDs now have a V8 as the standard engine? If so, that's a serious issue for anyone contemplating a new 24' LD. It would mean that the price of a 24' coach comparable to last year's 23.5' model (i.e, with V10) has effectively gone up by $4,000, not $3,000. Or am I misunderstanding?Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
Re: 2008 models Option prices Reply #14 – November 24, 2007, 02:28:13 pm Yahoo Message Number: 86257Andy; Here is what the Option Sheet says: "Ford 6.8L V-10 engine available on 24' models. (Standard on 27' and 31' models)" In addition, the Spec. sheet also shows the V-10 as an option on the 24' so your conclusion must be correct. The V-8 is now the base engine on the 24' models.Ed

According to this site, https://www.fleet.ford.com/Showroom/specialty_vehicles/Parcel_delivery_stripped-specs.asp or http://tinyurl.com/2s2uzl , the GVWR of the E-450 with the V-8 engine is 14,050#.

Any other noticeable features unique to the 2008?"As always, differences from year to year can be found in "LD models over the years", located in the "Lazy Daze Information" folder of this website's Files area (see "Files" text link at left of every page).According to that document, there's an additional three inches of footroom in the 2008 midbath, and possibly in other models as well. But if this is a critical factor in your choice, you should call the LD factory and ask them about the models you're considering.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
