Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
While we are in Flordia for the Holidays visiting my daughter we went to the biggest RV Dealer in the U.S.A. We got the grand tour and what a place!! It was amazing, and they even have a campground. Learned the most sold rig in the MH business as right now it is the Mandaly and saw 2 fifth new Royal International by Carriage. They were already bought and didnt get the chance to go into them. Also saw the most expensive MH the "Beaver" by Monoco. southwestjudy & Bob & 2blackdogs
Lazy Days are masters of closing sales. They work almost exclusively on matching your payment to the RV, even if it takes a 25 year loan to make it work. They won't talk price, they play games with trade-in values to make you feel good, they want you to take out a loan. They didn't get to be the biggest by pricing low. A great place to browse RVs but the dazzle and selection con people into buying without researching and without thinking about it long enough. Their service department is huge and inconsistent, lots of horror stories and some good stories.

Lazy Days does indeed have an impressive operation. Someone, namely everyone that buys there, pays for all that. Everythng they do and everything they say is focused squarely on them and them getting the sale. Ditto everything bjoyce said...
Upon entering theyre building we simply told them we were not there to buy and still they were very cordial in showing us around and there was NO pressure to buy. Everyone should do theyre homework when looking into buying anything!! It was interesting to see theyre operation. Dont most dealers play games on buying and trades even car dealers? southwestjudy & Bob & 2blackdogs
We are going to visit Lazy Days and the tampa super show next month. Lazy days does seem to have a huge operation from what I can see. I even scheduled to take their driver confidence coarse as many have said good things about it. Their concierge was also very helpful in booking us a hotel room at a great rate.
I think we have identified what RV we want, but wish to tour the lazy days collection and the show just to see and look at the many units on view. -- Bruce

Without a doubt, LazyDays IS a tourist attraction and should not be missed. Just keep your wits on - they are real professionals if you know what I mean.
I think this is the first year they are actually set up AT the Tampa Super Show and not bussing folks to their massive lot for the squeeze play. I consider this a good sign of loosening pressure. Anyhow, there is a wealth to see at LazyDays. Be prepared to be pooped!
We were driving around the Lazy Days Dealership in a golf cart thru the whole operations. Nice of them and there was NO pressure to buy or even set down and talk about buying. southwestjudy & Bob & 2blackdogs
