Classics always hold their value, and you can feel the quality through and through. It's a welcoming feeling when you see the lengths that Lazy Daze goes to in making RVing an experience of which memories are built upon. Classics ah, they stick in your mind forever as they should. Here today ....... always solid and reliable ( which sets them apart from others ). There is a lot to be said about good intentions and having standards that last !!! Always, Syn Silver.
The older rigs are very dependable, especially through 90's, without a lot of computer controls. Biggest thing on the big older V-8s is new air / oil filters/ oil/ coolant flush+ change.Check antifreeze/ anti boil strength. New gas filters/ PCV valve ( couple bucks) new belts/ hoses, if old/ worn+ obviously haven't been replaced. Dropping transmission pan+ changing filter highly recommended,often neglected. All are inexpensive maintenance,and things that can stop a trip.
@@craigtarbox3499 I won’t get to retire for a few more years so no extended travel plans for a little while but I’m hoping I’ll get to go further and stay longer in my Rv after I do and after my daughter graduates. How about you?
@@LindaYoshi I am clearing out my mothers estate right now . Once I sell her home I will be full time . I'm 70 yrs. old so I better get going ,LOL . I am friends with some RUclips nomads, So I'll be meeting up with them around the country .
Here's a tip, for owners of these older big V-8s. To bullet proof them as much as possible, like hot summer heavy loads/ mountain operation,etc , switch to a full synthetic oil.Stay with full synthetic after you switch. Go with quality synthetic oil filter also,like Mobile 1 ( oil+ filter) Substitute a quart of Lucas Oil Stabilizer,for oil, at every change ( 5-6 thousand miles fine) That prevents " Dry starts" wearing parts like piston rings/ etc before oil fully flowing. It also quiets down older engines+ increases power. Changing your own oil is pretty easy,to get under these bigger units,and saves $$ and you know you are getting quality parts/ fluids. All of above,at like Walmart,around 60 $
I almost did one, but thought people might like seeing just the video without me babbling in the beginning or end, haha. But maybe I should have like you suggested.
Lazy Daze owners some times have a second time or come back after having S.O.B. We had a 1988 26 rear bath that we sold in 1998 when it leaked and family grew up so camping period ended. Repair man offered to buy it since I was fixing it only to sell it. 2018 we decided Laze Daze travel club was what we wanted to do since at 70 my days of skiing and ownership of mountain home were going to be less and less in line with my health and abilities. We took delivery of our new mid bath in 2020 and now caravan with Laze Daze group and Elks rallies.
Not sure where you found this video, but I’m so glad you did!! Thank you!!
Simply the best ..... so sad they're gone.
I feel like most LD owners really love and cherish their rigs, so we're going to keep them alive!

Thanks for sharing! We love our LD 2000 26.5 Midbath!
Did you get it out on the road much last summer?
@@LindaYoshi at least 7-10 days monthly. We're in Phoenix so needed to get out of the heat! 😅
I can hardly wait to wake my 'Rosie' from her winter hibernation. Thanks for the awesome video!
Cool,that's a blast from the past!
Good to see people keeping the old rigs on the road,+ much better built than the new junk out there now.
100% agree!

Thank you for that. I'm loving my " Mr. Green Too " LD. LOL
Hi twin! After seeing this video, I feel even luckier that I was able to find one for myself. Glad you are still loving yours! :)
@@LindaYoshi Do you have plans for long term travel ?

Is this the same for say a 2004 V10
They do have a good reputation. I think you should have offered an intro or comment at the end to make it yours.

You're so lucky that you were able to get one of the last LD built!
Covid killed the brand but the quality of the build will last as long as you care for it.
