These were built on a Chevy P-30 chassis, similar to the one used on that vintage class-A m'homes, but with a class-C cab. It has a meager payload capacity compared to the later Ford chassis.Steve
Re: Early 30' Laze Daze Reply #2 – February 06, 2009, 08:57:52 am Yahoo Message Number: 99048My dad has a mid 90's 30IB. All I can do is compare his 30IB to our 22FL and tell you what he's told me about owning it. I can say that his 454 runs very strong. Also, the 30IB handles very well, especially for a 30 footer. He is not a full timer and mostly uses it in the summer or camping trips with us (we have his only grand child). Other than a leaky hydraulic jack, belts he's had to tighten, he has not had any issues or complaints about his 30IB. There's a picture of his RV next our ours in the photo section titled Father and Son LD's.Rob http://www.lazydazeowners.com/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: Early 30' Laze Daze Reply #7 – February 14, 2009, 03:12:09 pm Yahoo Message Number: 99322QuotePer my hubby who drives her between 55-60 mph & uses a vaccuum guage we average 9-10 mpg.. We also do not tow. That's very good gas mileage. My 82 tiny 22' LD Chevy - small, light - gets only 9 mpg at 45-55 mph. Fuel injection and 4-speed transmission do make a big difference.Sam
