General Discussion / OLDEST CLASS C RV MAKER CLOSES DOORS
« on: July 03, 2022, 12:42:58 pm »
Steve Newton son of the founder and innovator of the original class C RV maker “Lazy Daze” has announced that after 66 years of building top quality RV’s the company has closed its doors permanently. Known for its very old school way of building RV’s and doing business it leaves a 2 year waiting list of dozens of customers. No definitive reason for closing was given but its expected that in a future announcement that the pandemic and resultant closings, current supply chain issues, and inflation are expected to have played a big part. Prior to the 2009/10 RV meltdown, Lazy daze was producing 50-75 RV’s in three models a year. When the company returned to production the company owner said that he would never again lay off so many of his workers. Hence downsized to keep a core of workers and build 25-30 RV’s a year. It was virtually impossible over the years to buy a used Lazy Daze less then 8-10 years old. Owners held on to them for years. It is not known whether a larger company would buy them. If so it would never be the same RV.
They may not even be able to get into a "posh" RV resort with it....as if they wanted to
