Back in 2004 my wife and I were thinking of buying a Lazy Daze 24' unit. We had a check in hand and were going to go to Montclair, Ca. and drive home with a new unit. Upon arrival we were introduced to an older very taciturn man who turned out to be the owner. He was very short with us and somewhat impatient because I was asking QUESTIONS about the 24' unit. He wanted us to buy and be done with it. Upon checking out the rv, I noticed a very odd setup that totally turned us both off. The driver's seat, when extended to the rearmost position,opened up a little door that was part of the bathroom wall! So, in other words, as you're driving, your head is partially in the bathroom! Find that hard to believe? They're still selling the same setup today!
When I told the owner I wanted to drive one of the units (not the 24' model) he grudgingly consented but said he'd have to drive it off the lot. So he did and continued to head down the road and after a few miles said "well what do you think?". I said that I needed to drive the rv myself. So he relented and let me drive about 1 1/2 miles and said we could now head back to the plant. I said I'd like to drive the rv on the freeway when he said "no that's enough". So that was the end of my 4 mile test drive.
Back at the plant my wife inquired about interior and exterior colors and thought she liked the silver for the outside. The old fart said "no you don't want that, we don't make that many in that color".
As we were leaving in disgust, I noticed a special that they had on takeoff shocks that fit Ford vans and was thinking about whether they'd fit my Falcon B van I had at home. Old fart said "just as I figured, you're not interested in buying a Lazy Daze are you?"Thoroughly disgusted, we made a bee line for the front door and drove off empty handed all the way back to Sacramento California.
The next day we attended an rv show in Pleasanton, Ca. and bought a new PleasureWay which we still have today.
