i've repaired a lot of motorhomes and travel trailers and i have to say that the lazy daze is the best constructed motorhome made. the framing is very solid, they don't use wood with knots or cracks in it, the exterior aluminum siding and roof is pretty much indestructible and they rarely leak, unlike fiberglass-sided ones with rubber roofs. i also like the fact that they are sold factory direct only, and every one is built to order.

Still lots of life left in this classic Lazy Daze. I purchased a 2001 mid bath model in 2013 and still have it. Someone in DC area had purchased and drove it back from California and then it sat under an awning for 12 years. It only had the miles on it from the factory and the bathroom was not even used. New tires and every fluid changed and it ran like new and still does. Very similar to this model but has a dinette area that offers another bed. It’s my understanding that Lazy Daze was the first to offer the cab over bed. But for sure a Class C is much safer as the cab area is from Ford with air bags and must follow higher safety guidelines than a Class A. I started as a backpacker, to Pop Up, to 15 years of VW Camper as kids grew, and now to the Class C Lazy Daze. I’ve got to go dig out some old VW Westfalia Photos. I can tell you the 88 VW Westy was more expensive to maintain but I sold it for almost as much as I originally paid for it. Lazy Daze goes for reliability and you will not find slide outs but they feel big with the huge windows. The Lazy Daze forum is more active than any RV owners group out there. You can take on lots of repairs with the help of this forum. Really enjoyed the tour. Older in good shape is a lot easier on the budget.

The number one thing that I like about the older "vintage" motorhomes was the classy exteriors without crazy swirls. I hate swirls! I have them on my present motorhome and plan to have them removed in the future. This Lazy Daze motorhome has a good looking, nice exterior! Why can't the manufacturers get the message? This one, with a steel frame and aluminum exterior is perfect!

These guys are the original van lifers! So cool to see and hear about their 70's build out.

This is a really cute RV for two people to travel in. Has everything you need!

Great video! Love the camper. What I learned from this video is that yellow lights reduce the attraction of bugs! I will remember that ☺️

You always have great reviews tours, especially the vintage ones.

Looks as though the original inside colour was the natural wood grain befor the previous owner painted it in white.Most older motorhome RV's were done in natural wood grain,but was very dark.The white gives it a nice fresh modern look and easy to wipe clean. Very nice thanks. James.

My lovely old(former) neighbors. Living the dream 💖💖💖

I'm always happy to see a link at the end of an article to a story done by New Jersey... because I know it will be well done and I will learn something valuable. Thank-you.

This is a beautiful motorhome...inside and out! I LOVE Lazy Daze motorhomes...they are classic! Thanks for the tour! I loved the photos of their early camper van days, too!

oof that cooker looks GOOD. Love a camper with a good gas oven, that's the kind of thing that can make a camper feel like home

We have a 2003 Mid Bath, same color as this. Love ours, but this one has a lot of nice storage features that ours doesn’t have. (where you store the bedding!) Thanks for sharing!

Lazy Daze are hands down the best class C rv's.

If you give Patrick an empty box, he would make a 28 min video out of it and make it so much interesting and fun that you will watch all 28 minutes of it. When he does the videos with other people he points so nicely that the owners or the vehicles start to talk like a pro. Amazing work Patrick Love the vintage beast. Beautiful tour, Thank you Patrick

The lazy daze are my dream RV! They are built to last where others are trash!

It has everything! Wow, pretty impressive inside & out. Very nice. Fun to check it out with you. 🌷 Thanks Patrick! And thank you, folks as well. Happy 🏕 Camping !

This is a lovely motorhome. Very well kept!!!! They found a nice one.

Very very nice and so clean. Looks great. I even think the outside.looks pretty updated for being older

Great tour and lovely couple. Really cool to see how they van life’d when they were younger

I love this one. It has everything -- full bath, nice kitchen, tons of storage, and those huge panoramic windows in the back! I want one! I keep wondering if I could live in a van full time. I'm not sure I could, but this thing... maybe.

Love this 🚌💨. We bought 2004 Minnie Winnie that we love , slowly customizing it to what we like .

Great information to have when looking for older RV's. This motorhome is beautiful and in great condition. What a find! Thanks for sharing.

I also live in Florida wish he was close by I have a 4 drawer file cabinet excellent shape that I would love to give him because I have no need for it anymore. I usually give away as blessings rather than have yard sales. Wish Ken and Stephanie many blessings and thanks so much for the video Patrick.

Super rig. Thanks for sharing! Also, Ken was doing ‘the van life’ back in the day! Good discussion, too. Patrick, great tips. You’re performing a valuable service.

It is a very Classic and Beautiful RV. It looks great 👍😊

Nice retro look, pretty good shape, full size bathroom, king size bed, semi truck mirrors, CB radio... Wow... Get the antena, set SWRs, switch onto channel 19 and hammer down.... Sorry for the rant... I'm just in love with it....

Great history from the 70`s and Dodge Van going coast to coast. Hippie Stuff :) Then the Cool C30 Chevy RV , Love it :)

That is absolutely gorgeous!!!!

The mid-bath lazy daze is my dream rv. This one is a beauty😍 Looks like they have a really cool canned ham as well. Would love to see a tour of that. Love the vintage stuff😊👌🏽 Thanks, Patrick!

That’s a really cool looking motor home ! That’s great that metal was used in it & fiberglass was used as well too! Which will last & last .that motorhome is classy looking ! The inside is neat & lots of storage too !

What an excellent video! I have a 1991 Lazy Daze, slightly different floor plan, and it was really great seeing someone else love theirs. And for me, seeing what mine would look like with a white-painted interior. Originally, the LDs came with wood paneling -- like the inside of this one's cabinets... mine is dark inside compared to theirs. Every comment about the LD build quality is absolutely true. After 30 years, solid as a rock, drives great, and makes a fine spare bedroom for visitors!

Love this!!! Thanks for inviting us into your home. Happy camping and continued BLESSINGS.

Very nice. Looks very practical and you have a shower and toilet--wow!!!

This is the 2nd Lazy Days coach I have seen. I had never heard of them before! I absolutely love them!! They are so unique and have such a timeless design!! This one has been beautifully updated!! Cheers

Thank you for the excellent walk thru and around, and the information about trouble spots, older/newer RVs, insurance, etc! Answered a lot of questions for me, thanks again.

Nice retro camper. I think I'm starting to like retro campers a little more than the new ones. Airstream is my favorite, their old campers are the coolest. But, this was a nice rig. Adequate storage and they kept it clean. Good job Patrick.

Thank you for sharing this tour Patrick, Ken & Stephanie. I just acquired a 1986 Lazy Daze motorhome that has been well taken care of. It's almost the same floor plan. I have a pull out bed & the 2 chairs in the back. Still not exactly sure what size the bed is. Full or queen. Ken explains where everything is & capacity of the tanks. I have not found a manual yet. This has helped me greatly. I have not gone on my 1st adventure yet. I'm downsizing from our 36 ft RV to the new 22 ft one. I know not everything will fit or will need for our little family

Awesome motorhome ! It’s perfect for long trips.

Love that little motor home!

What a beautiful vintage classic! Ken & Stephanie scored a homerun, and Patrick, I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge.

Lazy Daze was my other main choice when looking for a rig. Ended up with a B190. I love the quality of the build inside and out, the thoughtful design, the 270 degree rear windows, and the owners always love them. If I ever decide to boondock outside of cities, I might get a 26’ Lazy Daze with the rear BR.

What an amazing RV! Only recently discovered Lazy Daze but man they seem like the real deal. Great couple and great video!

This couple is great! They really use their RV and enjoy it!

I love Lazy Daze Motorhomes. Couldn't find one when I was looking.

I LOVE YOUR LAZY DAZE CAMPER ~~ OH HOW I WISH THEY HAD THESE OLDER DESIGNED CAMPERS IN AUSTRALIA ~~ IT IS DECEPTIVELY HUGE AND I THINK HAS EVERYTHING YOU WOULD EVER NEED IN A CAMPER. IF YOU BRING IT TO AUSTRALIA, AND DECIDE TO LEAVE IT HERE, I’LL BUY IT FROM YOU ~~ YOU WOULD LOVE AUSTRALIA ! CHEERS, THANKS FOR THE TOUR ~~ SUBSCRIBED. xoxox AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 QUEENSLAND.

Love Lazy Daze class C' s even though I'm a trailer guy .. Love the the floor plan .. Thanks for sharing Patrick ...

Beautiful camper, lovely couple!

Patrick, Hello, I am surprised at the full sized items in this vehicle , granted its age, the mileage is low I did not notice if it was single rear tyres, or a dually, Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Wonderful people - I guess my own van here in UK is about the same size - an Autostratus - What surprises me is the large engines you have in US - my 31/2 ton RV has a just a 2.5 diesel with no turbo and 86HP so every hill is a challenge every brow a smile

Awesome RV. Thanks for the great tour.

Thanks for sharing and walking through your Motorhome RV!

Finally! Been waiting to see someone have the splash guard next to the stove. So sauce ain't all over the couch

Thank you for sharing this video. This motor home is a dream for many and I am glad these two will enjoy the lifestyle.

Love the layout! I know some don't think it's necessary to paint the inside of cupboards. But it makes reno look more finished.

Love this channel. Thinking of getting a small van or RV and this channel helps a lot in making a decision on year, size, model, etc. thanks for posting!!!

Sweet vintage rig !

Well maintained, adorable, just the right size, awesome storage for a smaller rv and a full bathroom. Thanks for the tour. 🚌 The age of one’s unit should not be an issue if well maintained however there are what I’d refer to as “snobby” rv parks that are choosing to enforce an age restriction of (10) years or newer.

Another awesome couple and a cool motor home....love the vintage re do.....great to get a mechanical and review the body.....I think if you want one long term or to go far from home you have to get it checked for good quality...but the older not-in-so-great-pretty- shape models are awesome for bush / hunting rigs....mostly man caves lol but perfect ....but this rig has a lot of well kept structure. Lucky couple! 😊🇨🇦❤️

This is a really neat RV I like the style

Great video and info i just found a 84 chevy mallard 22 ft needs a cleaning from sitting in a shed but its all there and not a mouse nest inside so bring it home this sat ,thank you for sharing big hugs from MN

Best RV I've seen.

I feel like these older campers really have everything you need. Lots of space and practical... Haha dvds and cable, still oldschool :) Netflix is a good alternative if you don't have cable

Oh my gosh. I love LOVE this RV

that is absolutely awesome. I could live in that and be able to live instead of all my money going to my utilities and my house due to being disabled and 64.

The 1990s is now retro,God I feel old...........now get off my lawn.

The CAnned Ham people...interesting....excellent video...very nice people and Ken explained his motorhome very clearly...thanks for the tips on buying used....I intend to buy a used one at some point, so this was helpful!

One of the best tour finds. Great rig for these really nice people. 👍🏿

I can just They have lived they’ve been going since the 70s wow I’m jealous I wish I could go back the best thing about this whole thing it’s not the motorhome it’s them I love their spirit I can just imagine what the first one was like wow I really really enjoyed this oh the motorhome is absolutely gorgeous I’ve never heard of these but wow they are beautiful this seems more like a home than any other ones I’ve seen I love that I really love the New Jersey outdoor ventures he finds the most interesting people I can imagine how great his adventures are and his life these people in rich your life when you meet them and your visit you have supper together or you sit down people leave an imprint on our lives so I could train people get on people get off I feel like life is a train ride I really enjoyed this thank you Patrick your videos are some of the best videos on KZfaq I enjoy seeing the rigs but I enjoy meeting the people to actually enjoy them more I think I’m a people person thank you again 👍🏻✌🏻🙏🏻 be safe everyone because we are all on this travel called life so get on the train and toot toot 🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤

Another great interview. Beautiful well cared for unit. Would love a tour of their canned ham trailer.

What an awesome layout on an immaculate Coach. Thanks for sharing Patrick!

Waow this is a very clean and nice classisc rv, would like to have like this

Super nice people I love there rig. I pray they stay safe during this pandemic God bless.

Bro you are intense you put some footage out say I really do like the lost and forgotten section of your channel showing the details of different places is amazing thank you

I really like the effective design of the older rec vehicles. They also look more homey and comforting.

Hi Patrick! Great retro motorhome!! You nailed it again with this awesome video! We have been rejected from several RV resorts for not having an RVIA certification...something to keep in mind with an older RV or homemade camper! Safe and great travels everyone! Looking forward to your next video!

Awesome! Thanks to the lovely couple and Patrick. Im really enjoying the tours.

Love it I would have it in a heart ❤️ beat it is in excellent condition I wonder how much they paid for it another great video Patrick

Super cute! Has everything one would need! Makes me want to go on a road trip!

It still has quite a few good placement ideas we can use in today's design! When will I able to live like this... My spirit need to be free too!!!

Thats alot of space & storage, great camper thanks for sharing👍

Nice vintage rv👍I own a 1985 Chevy Allergo and she's a great RV👍

Omg my perfect home 😯😊

I Love Lazy Daze Rigs toured the plant in 1993. And got to pick up 3 coaches for customers in Vegas and deliver them. Their propane tank need immediate attention!!!!!! Nothing but rust. It also looks like their grey tank has a leak or a loose connection. Good Eyes Patrick what a cream puff coach. And very nice people

Lovely beautiful home ..thanks for sharing 🤗

Nice overview and some great information. Enjoyed this episode a lot.

This was very nice ....I like the built, layout and windows ...... great storage ...50gal fresh water is pretty cool .. Thank you Patrick ..

Nice!! They are well built indeed. I tried to find one after seeing Ausia's "Panda" on her Pandemonium channel. I just bought a bus yesterday, no desalination there either.

Nice job Patrick! That's a nice mixof old and new comfort.

The other front living room layout with couch utilizing the cab area swivel chairs and two other swivel chairs as a large living room is my favorite. In my opinion it’s more space efficient with bathroom across the back.

Clen i really like this vintage motor home..👍🏾

Superb motor home, well maintained.

Yes Lazydayz are in Montclair CA. Been there since 1956. And the motorhomes are "made to order" I heard that there was/is a nearly a two year waiting list to order one. Only the older models were made 19 to 22 feet. They only make 24 27 And 31 foot models now.

That's a lovely useful living space👍 have fun traveling😊

Lazy Daze still in business .. still making the same floor plan... one of the best Class C

I have exactly the same model....love it

Very nice.....thank you Patrick!!

Hi from Danmark It is a beauty 👍💚💚💚 Charming and cosy real good made 👍🌍💃

I like those old RV. They're pretty and feel homey when cabinets are white like in this one.

Another Great one Patrick! Hugs, MommaFaye 🌺
