Ah, that worked great. I can read it clearly now.

Thank You!

This any better?

If you click on the picture and then click again, it goes full size...or are you saying that is still too small?

No link since those come in a pdf and are subscriber only.

Let me see if I can get the full size pdf.

I wish I could read it. It would be interesting.

Could you provide the link?

Here are the retail registrations for the last 12 months.

I hear a lot of good things about lazy daze MH's. What would be the price of a new lazy daze compared to a higher volume produced MH similarly equipped? And is the extra dollars worth it?

For me the LD was perfectly centered. I don't want a slide-I like simplicity and low maintenance. The paint is durable and easy to maintain. Sturdiness and low maintenance are priorities. Being close to the factory for warranty or paid repairs is a big plus to me-the service in there is very good. The LD is a generally trouble free tool for travel. It isn't particularly fashionable even by RV standards. Very good product for it's niche in the market.

Many people do not realize that most models of Phoenix Cruisers can be ordered without slide-outs. Unfortunately PC-USA does not offer slide-less floor plan diagrams. Their older brochures did have them.

Every unit Phoenix makes without a customer work order is made with slide outs so you won't see a new one advertised without them.

I think each slide out is priced around $4,500 MSRP.

LD prices can be found in their website.

I'm not sure you can find a similarly equipped high-volume C, because of the differences in the construction quality of the furnishings, and the consideration that any other C above entry level or rental grade will have slideouts. Ingnoring that compared to middle-line C's the price of a LazyDaze will usually be lower than the MSRP of the mass produced C. And LD will be much lower priced than MSRP of the few premium C's that are not direct factory sales.

The "cost" that keeps LD sales volume down is the wait. That's why I didn't buy one, actually paying more the 2004 LD prices for a used lower-grade Winnebago (but it has two slides for the roominess my wife wanted).

Whether it is worth it probably depends on how long you plan to keep it and use it. If you want to be in something new, frequently trading to do that (e.g. you get your cars on 18-24 month leases) then you are probably not a candidate for a RV that requires several months wait after you order, and doesn't change much at all model year to model year. If you are buying something to keep and use for the next 10-20 years, then you would be a LazyDaze or BornFree buyer candidate, although any mass-production C can give you 10 years with proper care.
