Lazy Daze Class C
Have a chance to purchase this motor home. Have heard that Lazy Daze is one of the best manufacturers out there. Really quality production. What do you think? Of course would have my mechanic look it ...

Of course you want one that Runs, Stops, and Doesn't Leak. But you must have an "accommodation," floor plan if you will, that meets your needs, your living style.
We had a 24' Holiday Rambler with a very similar floor plan, and we liked it, A LOT. Maneuverability was a big part of that, plus it was a solid quality unit. Aluminum sides over aluminum frame, fiberglass end caps, aluminum roof. One of our precepts was NOT having to make a bed up and tear it down every day. The Cabover "Loft" in the Holiday satisfied that. The flat floor from cockpit to coach meant a five foot climb into a loft with very little headroom. Bed VERY hard to make, couldn't sit up. All that was OK till more signs of seniority started showing up. Nurse friend said "One fall off that bunk and ladder can ruin the rest of your retirement. Get a Bed Down." So we did, 31' with more storage, more everything and we use it all. Far less maneuverable.
LazyDaze is a very premium and very scarce RV, so very pricey. At the price, and on a 1998 or 99 chassis, I wish it was a few years newer. I haven't done any pricing, but I think I'd be looking to see what a similar price would bring in a Phoenix Cruiser on a 2000 or newer Ford Chassis. If Chevy/Workhorse, one with the 6.0 V8.
