Buying a used Lazy Daze with Roof leak

Kevin,

I am going to do a bit of generalizing here:

MOST Lazy Dazers take great pride in their units and maintain them to death.

MOST also keep copious notes/records of their work.

It is not uncommon to see Lazy Dazes from the 1980's still on the road.

It is hard to find units in the east.

So,

I would suggest that you head over to the Lazy Daze Forum and post your question about the leak. The owner of the Lazy Daze might even be a member of one of the forums.

You mention that someone was going to fly out to see the unit:

We had a 23 foot Lazy Daze and wanted to buy a larger 27 foot unit. We saw a unit that interested us in California. We called and spoke to the owner. My husband flew out to California, the owner picked him up at the local airport, they went to the owner's house, my husband examined and drove the unit, and then gave me a call. He thought the rv was solid. We gave the man a down payment, my husband stayed the night at their house, and was taken to the airport by the family the next day. This was a 2002 Lazy Daze that we bought about ten years ago. We still have it and love it.

I guess you got lucky. I flew from Florida to Texas to purchase a used Lazy Daze. When I looked at the unit it had water damage in the cabover. The owner told me it didn't have any leaks. I assume that he figured if I travelled that far to look I'd buy it anyway.
At any rate, the twin/king layout is the best but if a LD isnt maintained then leaks will occur.
I had a 90 Aerocruiser, no leaks. I would have kept it but it had a throttle body/computer problem that I couldnt get fixed.
