I have an older 27 foot Class C Lazy Daze I mostly use for track duty on race weekends. I've upgraded a few things over the years. I love it at the track with the exception of not having something I can hop into and make a parts run, etc. but I have enough friends with cars and trucks there that it's never been a problem. They love the fact I bring the RV we can hang out in, get warm in, cool the beer in, etc. I've thought about selling, but my new girlfriend is now all excited about taking weekend trips in it and going to the races periodically. Good advice here. If I were doing it over I'd probably get a toy hauler. Lazy Daze is one of the few high quality builders out there. I occasionally haul both the race car and a motorcycle :-)

An Earles forked R50?

Most forums agree about the high quality of Lazy Daze products. I just don't see many on the road probably because they aren't cheap.

Yes! You could even tow it with a 911! I saw a Smart car towing one of the smaller ones and a few motorcycles towing them too!

Yes, they are a small custom mfr in Montclair CA near me. They build high quality and low volume while selling direct. Mine was an 82 that my parents bought new and owned for 10 years, and I owned it for another 15. I sold it in 2007 because we had not been using it lately but it was still in very good condition for a 25 yr old rig. Most MH get pretty rough after 10 yrs or so.

If I were buying now I would look for 2005 or newer as the chassis and drivetrains have improved a lot since then.

I have always gone the travel trailer route. I started out with a 1978 18' Mallard that was built like a tank but needed work all the time it seemed like. After years of using it double pulling a smaller trailer behind it with the dirt bilkes and four wheeler I upgraded to a 2011 Raptor toy hauler by Keystone. It is a lot nicer, but that is mainly because it is newer. I have friends with a number of different brands, but it seems like the Jayco's are built pretty solid.

I wanted something with a ton of ground clearance because we don't go to camp grounds, but instead find spots off of fire roads, county roads, forest service roads etc. Mine is a 26 footer that measures 30' and weighs about 13,000 pounds fully loaded. It is completely insulated and have used it in the winter for hunting in sub freezing temperatures.

Here is the older set up with the Mallard and Excursion

And the new one in an area that has been hit pretty hard by beetle kill:

I've had a Class A motorhome for 20+ years. I have never run out of anything (consumables) except for mix and I solved that problem with a Soda Stream machine. As long as I have water I have mix now.

The only problem is camping with the boat. You have to launch the boat before you set up base camp and there is no in and out at the end of the day, so everything has to come out of the boat for safety.
