Can't wait to pick ours up in March.Cindy 2009 Silver FD

Re: LD Spotting Reply #3 – March 22, 2010, 10:45:50 am Yahoo Message Number: 111189Hey Cindy, We won't be far behind you in picking up our new unit. We have already named it "Monty" after Monty Python's Flying Circus flicks that my wife, Elizabeth, was a big fan of. Our delivery date is April 14th @ 8:30AM. At noon we leave with the ICC driver for the I-10 AZ border. We have had a good laugh with Todd about all the spies. Next week we will be shipping some boxes of belongings to LD and carrying more in our Honda CRV when we drive there. We plan on getting to CA (Best Western @ Ontario Airport) the afternoon of April 12th. That gives us time to unload the car @ LD and visit with relatives in the area. When we pack the coach, it will then be "The Full Monty" (title of one of the movies). Once back in AZ we are planning to stay in the Superstition mountains near Apache Junction. Elizabeth's daughter & son are flying in to Phoenix to camp with us for a few days. After that we are going to wander about Arizona & New Mexico for a few weeks before returning to Florida later in May. We are hoping for a good wildflower bloom this year. Once home, "Monty" will be going to nearby Lakeland for a set of Bigfoot leveling jacks, then back into my shop at the ranch for several additions/modifications such as power surge protection, inverter, water leak detectors, possible extra coach batteries for our mostly boondock camping. We seldom stay in private campgrounds. The more spacious remote public campgrounds are more to our liking (great scenic locations and hiking). Mid summer we will be leaving bound for Newfoundland, Canada for our 30th(+/-) trip there since 1984. Many friends there and spectacular scenery. Will probably spend at least a couple of months there (probably more) to make the cost of the ferry worthwhile. After that we might wander the central US until a fall return to Florida. That should be a good workout for "The New Monty." We hope to hear more of your travels in your new unit. Happy trails, Mike Coachman

Re: LD Spotting Reply #5 – March 22, 2010, 11:12:38 am Yahoo Message Number: 111192Hi Mike, Congratulations on getting your Monty......Since we just ordered one I am wondering how long it took for you to get yours? We are also thinking about getting Jacks put on ours, just seems to make sense. We did tell them we were there to spy for you......Todd just laughed.........Sherry
Re: LD Spotting Reply #6 – March 23, 2010, 10:42:25 am Yahoo Message Number: 111208This would be a good opportunity for me to make a plug for the Delivery Times database. It provides a great estimate of delivery times based upon actual figures submitted by buyers..if folks will make those entries. Not many have lately. So please, anyone who has ordered and/or taken delivery in the past few months, enter your data in the database.Many thanks,Ted H.@ Millers Ferry COE, AL Since we just ordered one I am wondering how long it took for you to get yours?

Re: LD Spotting Reply #10 – March 30, 2010, 02:43:51 pm Yahoo Message Number: 111443I've been driving by this one house on the Lowell/Tyngsboro, MA stretch of Pawtucket Blvd. (113) every now and then for a few years now. There's a ranch style house with a large (to me) RV parked out front. Yesterday I actually looked at it for the first time and it's a large (maybe 30') teal colored LD! Wow! Was it always there? I have no idea now if they used to have something else or if that beautiful LD has been sitting quietly there all this time. It's funny how you don't actually see something until you develop an interest in it. Like when you're considering purchasing a certain brand of car, suddenly there they are all over the place.I wonder if the owner is in this group?Karen -- still hoping to start "seriously" looking in May/June.
Re: LD Spotting Reply #11 – March 30, 2010, 09:18:31 pm Yahoo Message Number: 111456Karen - go to nelazydazers@yahoogroups.com, that's the local group, someone there may be able to answer that question. We are members of the NE group and I personally don't know of anyone

Re: LD Spotting Reply #13 – March 31, 2010, 10:04:21 am Yahoo Message Number: 111466Speaking of spotting LDs, we passed a Lazy Daze yesterday heading east on I-10. They were east of Quartzsite just before the small pass before the US-60 exit. It was a blue LD with a rear bath (I didn't pay close enough attention to figure out whether it was the Front Lounge/Dinette or the Rear Bath). It was an older rig on a Chevy chassis pulling a toad and had Colorado plates.Anyone in this group?Linda Hylton http://map.datastormusers.com/user1.cfm?user=1167 http://earl-linda.blogspot.com

Re: LD Spotting Reply #15 – April 30, 2010, 10:20:07 pm Yahoo Message Number: 112278Sherry & Carter, We have been on a great Southwestern trip since picking up our new coach April 14th. We have camped in the Superstition Mtns. AZ; The Cottonwood, AZ area; with friends in Albuquerque, NM; Bandolier Nat. Mon., NM; and now Roswell, NM. Love the coach. More interior room/storage/connivence than our last coach. The two solar panels/Lifeline batteries have provided all the DC power we needed as we mostly dry camp and the gas furnace has kept us warm in sub-freezing nights. The new heat pump heats the interior very fast even in temps in the high 30's (when we had hookups or used the generator for a fast warm up). Only problem so far was a faulty sealed circuit board on the generator that shut down the engine when detecting high voltage spikes. Cummins/ Onan, Albuquerque replaced the board and no other problems AT ALL! Everything functions as they should. That is usually unheard of with a new coach. We will be on the road a few more weeks before returning to FL. Have a good summer, Mike Coachman
Re: LD Spotting Reply #16 – May 16, 2010, 12:31:12 pm Yahoo Message Number: 112620Maybe I should be too embarrassed to post this, because I can't remember the color!!! But, last Tuesday 5/11/10 I spotted an LD entering Route 25 several exits north of Albuquerque. I do remember the driver as a woman with short, dark brown hair.Karen

About time I introduced myself, I guess. I'd been looking at RV's for a couple years, figuring out what would suit me best and lucked out

Re: LD Spotting + Mexican Food Reply #21 – May 20, 2010, 11:34:51 pm Yahoo Message Number: 112741Well, folks, Bernie and I are the proverbial "locals" in Santa Fe, and we eat great Mexican food here several times a week. Our top favorites for consistent top quality at reasonable prices (for Santa Fe), are: #1 Mucho Gusto (in a little commercial enclave right off Paseo de Peralta) #2 Los Potrillos (in a former Pizza Hut, red roof and all, on Cerrillos Road) #3 El Tesoro (a hole-in-the-wall joint in the Sanbusco center run by Salvadorans, but the food is great and close enough to Mexican to quality for this list)You can't go wrong eating at any of those.Here are a few others that we enjoy:4. Santa Cafe (about 2 blocks from the Plaza... go there in the summer and sit outdoors!) 5. Casa Sena (one block from the Plaza... go there in the summer and sit outdoors!) 6. The Shed (one block from the Plaza, close by Casa Sena) 7. Cafe Atrisco (in DeVargas shopping ctr) 8. Los Amigos (Rodeo Rd) 9. Maria's (off Cordova Rd, right opposite Trader Joe's... known mostly for its margaritas, but the food's good enough, especially if you drink plenty of margaritas!) And two that Tina mentioned: Tecolote ("The Owl") and The Pantry... both on Cerrillos Rd.Sorry, Steve, but we "locals" don't go to Tomasitas any more. It's in every guide book, so it fills to overflowing with tourists, with loooooong waits to get in. The few times we've accompanied out of towners who *had* to go there, the service seemed rushed and sometimes rude. And we just don't find the food all that great. Success has spoiled it, especially now that the RailRunner drops its passenger loads right at Tomasita's door.If you're on I-25 heading to or from Albuquerque, but just north of there, I highly recommend two places: 1. The Range (in Bernaillo) 2. El Pinto (take the Tramway Rd. exit west into bosque along the Rio Grande. Again... go in the summer when you can enjoy their wonderful garden dining areas.)Hope this helps somebody find a great Mexican meal in Santa Fe!Martha in Santa Fe... with Bernie and BluCon, (our 2009 MB)
Re: LD Spotting + Mexican Food Reply #22 – May 20, 2010, 11:40:06 pm Yahoo Message Number: 112742Sorry... I misspelled the town of "Bernalillo" in my note about The Range.Martha[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
