On a brand specific forum, a person with access to the data posted that in 2015, these brands had the following retail unit sales:Lazy Daze 9 units (22 in 2014)Born Free 16Phoenix Cruiser 55I had never thought about it enough to even guess the numbers. But I sure would not have guessed that low. Wow. Especially the first two.

I'm actually surprised by that. How can a RV maker stay in business from nine units? Lazy Daze units may not have slide-outs, but they do well with making use of the enclosed space, and also have a lot of windows.There is also Nexus RV and Coach House. Coach House is expensive because of their one piece construction (best resistance to leaks next to a class "B"), but Nexus RV seems to have a very good price/quality ("bang for buck") going for it.

Lazy Daze 9 units (22 in 2014).----It's true that Lazy Daze is not a high-volume producer - rigs are ordered factory-direct, and there's currently about a year wait - but a call to the LD factory would clarify what seems to me to be a very low number for rigs delivered in 2015.

Like Lazy Daze, Born Free can be customized for their users, so their numbers are lower than Winnebago, Thor, etc.However, they also have a commercial division building mobile command posts, crime labs, medical clinics, vet clinics, etc.So, their business can easily survive despite their low consumer numbers.

Wow! Only 9? The Lazy Daze factory is just a few miles from my home. They have been in business forever, make a fine product. This makes me want to run right up there and order one to get their numbers up!

You do not stay long in Business, with numbers that low in Australia, they must have other commercial activities related to Motorhomes
