Hey there. I subscribed to your channel as soon as I found you, and I am really glad I did. I think you are the funniest RVers I have found so far. Oh, and you also put out the most informative videos by far.
We had a great experience with the Tampa Lazydays back in February of this year. We experienced a very professional sales rep who narrowed down our search within 20 minuets and had us walking through 5 super clean Class A's that met our requirements. Really not a typical "pressure" sales place, but they do have a process that get's you matched up with a unit and ready-to-deliver pricing. Again, we had a fantastic experience and will be back when we are ready for our next RV.
We bought our RV from Lazy Day's in Tampa. We bought a 2006 Monaco Dynasty 42' diesel pusher. It was a awesome experience. We travel with our kitty. We toiled over where to put the cat box. The custom cabinet shop built a cabinet to house the liter box. They did such a nice job on the cabinet and Corian top that you would never know it was not original. My wife was so nervous driving the coach that she made us take the driving class twice. Lol!!! Forget staying in the delivery lot overnight we stayed a week and a half. Lol!!! They taught us so much about our RV and how to properly use it during that time it was amazing. We would definitely buy from Lazy Day's again. FYI we were probably there when you shot this video if you were there during Thanksgiving. After leaving Lazy Day's we went to Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama then back home to SW Florida. We live a hour and a half south of Lazy Day's.
Wow! That certainly sounds like and amazing experience! We filmed the majority of this video on Nov 19 so, yes.. Might have been there around the same time. Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our adventures! 😊
A couple of years ago I bought a new truck from a dealer that took care of their customers like this, it was the best experience buying a vehicle EVER! I will go there when I am ready to upgrade what I have now. Thanks!
Based on this video I am now the proud owner of a 2022 Grand Design Momentum 397THS from Lazy Days! I live in Jacksonville but your review made this a must see dealer. Everything you said is true and then some. Can’t wait to take delivery! Thanks for the great video as always.
My wife and I are currently in the middle of our purchase process of our 2022 Grand Design Momentum 376THS-R from Tampa LazyDays. Extremely nice excited and nervous bc we are new to RVs and we’re going full time Starting in about a week. Been watching y’all’s videos, learning as much as we can over the past 2 years planning for this journey.
We bought our used 2003 Newmar Dutch Star DP from Lazy Days in Tampa/Sefner Florida. Our sales person was Tony Burgess. He was awesome. We really enjoyed working with him. Thanks for doing this video. Enjoyed getting to see the behind the scenes tour.
We did the same thing. We drive up to lazy days almost every other weekend when we were looking. We love going there. We bought in the crown club and it was so with it. This was a fun video to watch.
Thanks! 😊 We know that putting our life and personal experiences out to the world will draw some negativity. Luckily, it's mostly positive comments (like this one), and we're getting good at ignoring the trolls. 😊
First off... I think you guys are doing a great job. I really enjoy your videos. My wife and I live in Colorado and have been to the LD locations here but, we also have been to the main location in FL. The location in Florida is much different than the other locations. The satellite locations are pretty much run of the mill dealerships without all the amenities that the Florida location provides. That being said, we were very impressed by the size and the amenities of the Florida location when we visited. It is a very slick operation and certainly impressive to see in person. Our experience there was a positive one. Upon arrival we were immediately assigned a sales person who gave us a tour of the dealership and then spent approximately 2 hours going through units with us. We did not feel any pressure to buy immediately and also did not receive the typical litany of unwanted follow up phone calls after our visit. After exhaustive research we did not end up purchasing from LD due to the fact that they were not willing to match the prices from two other dealerships we were working with. Lazydays was 3% and 4% higher than the other quotes and would not come down. I have heard this same thing from many other people who have shopped at LDs in comparison with other dealerships. Personally, I think this only makes sense because of the enormous amount of overhead for the "Disney World" features, number of staff and maintenance of the property. On the other side, I have heard many nightmare stories from people about the service department at Lazydays. (Many of these have been from "Crown Club" customers). I know of one person who only had his issues resolved after a year long saga and signing a non disclosure agreement with the dealership. To be fair, most RV dealership service departments get poor reviews. However, the magnitude and frequency of the stories regarding Lazydays service department are too much for me to ignore unless it was an emergency and I had no other options. As I said before, our personal experience with sales was a good one even though we did not end up purchasing from them. If their service reputation matched the overall premium experience of the dealership I might have considered paying a little more for a coach to get a service product I believed was truly superior. Regardless, this is a dealership that everyone should stop and visit at least once. It is amazing to witness the size and scope of the operation.
Could it be that the magnitude and frequency have more to do with the size of the service department and sheer number of rigs serviced? Not being argumentative here, just posing a theory. I honestly don't know. But if 1% are unsatisfied customers across all service departments, it stands to reason that a dealer as large as LD would have a lot more unsatisfied customers. Not defending them, or any other RV dealer. Poor service is poor service and one can read a new horror story every day online. We personally have no experience with LD or any other service department. Since we're fully nomadic, we deal directly with Grand Design, fixing things myself, and getting a mobile tech (under warranty) when it's beyond my ability. The ability to deal directly was a major reason for picking GDRV. Is there's any kind of unbiased authority on service departments and customer satisfaction? It seems everything I've ever read on any service department is all anecdotal. Would be good to have some actual data. Anyway... I think you're right. Regardless of ones position on all of this, I think it's undeniably a great place to see lots of RVs. Thanks for the well thought out comment, and thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel. 😊 ~chad
Great video. I subscribed to your channel a couple years ago and absolutely loved your content. I just purchased a pre-owned unit from this dealership and absolutely loved the experience. I'm scheduled to pick it up next week and can't wait. Thanks for doing this video enjoyed it very much. I have a couple years till I retire but will be Ling in it till then and then going full time with a Florida base. Keep the great videos coming and stay safe !!
Hey Bama. If I was back there and was looking he would be the guy who I would look for, so down to earth. Great information for a person just starting, good job.
What a great place! They surely have everything covered. 235 service bays! I bet it was a great time purchasing your 5th wheel there especially since you had zero experience camping before that. Making sure you felt confident before hitting the road with classes, the PID process & staying there overnight. Lazydays really sets the bar high for other dealerships! Thank you for all you do! Another great video! Happy & healthy New Year to you both!
We really enjoy your videos and it was fun to meet real celebrities today at the RV Show! 😁 You were a very busy pair today. We’ll be stopping at Lazy Days just to see it. Safe travels😎
I wanna THANK YOU for doing this video.. I've always heard that Lazydays was the largest RV dealer in the US, but I never knew the 'rest of the story', so to speak.. WHAT a place!!!! Now at some point we gotta go down there and visit.. Excellent job, folks..
Been watching your videos now for awhile and preparing for full time RV life since we have just fully retired. Keep the information on RV’s and the travel log coming,.
I bought a class A 35 ft 94 Bounder from here in 05 and cruised the country for 4 years with not one single mechanical problem. Sometimes older is not so bad.
I just found your channel and loving it. We bought our 2018 Montana front kitchen at that Lazy Days. They take care of you and really seem to care about their customers. We were trading our Grand Design, so they put us up free in the campground and gave us vouchers for a free breakfast and lunch for two weeks. And of course the free Dr. Pepper. Lol. Thanks for the video. 👍
What an awesome video, and so informative!! Thank you for sharing! Love all your videos!! Definitely going to go to Lazydays next time I’m in Florida!!!
We are from Texas but after hearing about Lasy Days from you guys and some other UA-cam channels, we've chosen them for our dealership. We aren't leaving to go full time for 2 more years BUT we get to visit there next spring.
Another informative video. We were considering going down to Lazydays in FL for our 5th wheel......after watching this, we will go. Nothing like one stop shopping. Thank you Tara and Chad!
I like this video a lot. You guys did a great job covering so much of what lazy days is and has to offer. I think if the day comes when we are going to upgrade our rig Lazydays is going to be the place we buy from. Thank you for sharing and safe travels.
When I was there, early March 2020 (pre-covid), our sales person didn't seem to interested in our business. He certainly didn't tell us anything about what the place had to offer... I was looking forward to this planned visit and ended up disapointed. I did buy a class A 6 month later. Your video was very informative and I now realize everything I missed and didn't see. I will go back eventually and ask if Bama is available. 😁
Wow!! Great video and tons of cool info! My wife and I are planning on visiting that same store in Jan when we go to the Tampa RV Show. We are also thinking about going to the Knoxville location in Oct or Nov. We both follow you guys and greatly appreciate all your helpful videos. If all goes well we plan to buy our first RV sometime early next year. Thank you again!
The first time we went to Lazy Days the salesman didn’t give us the time of day. Then I found the coach I wanted online and they had a used one in stock. sales was great, the second time maybe because I already knew what I was looking for. Service not so much they have a terrible rating online and they earned it. We drove 2 hours on our scheduled delivery day and the coach was not ready we had a 9 am delivery and we did not get out of there until almost 4 pm. Since we were not spending the night it was a very long and frustrating day. What started out as a great morning turned into a nightmare before it was all over. But we love the coach and our salesperson was great!
We've heard a couple of one-off stories about not-so-friendly sales people. I'm sure Lazydays would love to know who these sales people are, as it's definitely not in line with their standards. Sorry to hear about your delivery experience. Glad it all worked out in the end. 😊
Talk about timing! I was wondering today where y’all purchased your Momentum, low and behold this popped into my UA-cam feed this evening. Great video, thank y’all for sharing!
Great video! I live in California and had a terrible buying experience a couple of years ago when we bought our toyhauler. Based on what I saw in your video, I'll go there for our next RV. Totally worth the drive in my opinion.
Great video! In particular great PR for Lazy Days. Wait till you have to return to get repairs done. They are very attentive during the sale process, but afterwards is a different story. We have a class A Tiffin from Lazy Days took it back for some minor body work and minor cabinet work. Six weeks later after I would not approve the sloppy body work and paint we got it back. Still the cabinet work not completed. They left a damaged cabinet pull because they did no have enough time. Six weeks! This was a Crown Club coach. Good luck. Being that you are a u tuber they might do better with you.
Great review- me and the wife are driving to Tampa August 15 and will stop at LAZYDAYS FOR SURE -- Were in search of a RV and that looks like th3 perfect place to find one 🍻
Great video (all of them). You’ve helped open our eyes to the option of a Toy Hauler though we have no toys. This video has come to us at a great time. We are headed to Florida for a week and plan to make a 2 hour drive to Lazy Days to see their GD stock and get the experience. We live in PA but if they rock the experience and RV, I am not opposed to buying here when it’s time
You guys have an awesome setup. One thing with a class A most will still be towing a vehicle if you are doing a lot of traveling or full timing. We have had the motorhome, class C and now it will be a trailer. Would love a 5er but both the wife and I have knee problems so want to eliminate as many steps as possible. Another nice video you guys put out. Again love watching your videos. Wishing the two of you a Happy and Healthy New Year. Travel safe. Cheers..
I just want to say you guys have my dream truck. I love Fords F-350 and F-450s are my favorite trucks. When i grow up I want a F-450 turbo diesel, king size cab, 2 size bed, lifted, with a chrome semi exhaust pipe with a 46ft toy hauler. That is my dreams.
Ok ,I knows we’re I’ma going. Across the bridge an Woooo Hoooo . What makes this 5* is that you’ll expand One Stop Shop. And the difference in USAA Theirs. Perks and just how much you can get done in one place WOW what a video. I might do a replay. Bell Well. May 4 2o2o
I sure wish we had the same experience with Lazy Days as you guys did, prior to the 2023 Florida State RV Supershow, let alone the first “accidental” RV we bought at Lazy Days in Longmont, CO. Seffner really let us down with the service department and the RV park.
Fortunately, we only experienced the sales (and sales related service) side of the dealership. It seems most dealership service departments have bad reputations....
Looks like a cool place to go for every thing and thanks for the tour around. Question those classes they offer, do they charge a fee for each class like they charge for the driver confidence class for non customers or are they free classes for anyone to attend?
Just recently subscribed to your channel. We purchased our Grand Design Transcend Xplor 260RB Travel trailer from Lazydays in Tucson. Same Great Experience. Thanks.
Great video guys, wish the Lazy Days operations here in the Denver Metro area were as complete as yours. Unfortunately they do not sell GD in Colorado. We will be ordering a GD Solitude from a different dealer this year, and going full time spring of 2020. Regarding service, I have taken my current 5ver, a Keystone Sprinter, into the Denver LD for warranty work and winterizing with no issues. I would say the 6-P’s we learned in the Navy would bod well, as they did for you two.
Great video guys! Lazydays looks amazing! You did a great job capturing the property and all it has to offer. Our little tiny Grand Design dealership in Redmond Oregon is sooooooo small by comparison.
We went to Lazydays on our way to Ft. Meyers based on your recommendation. Spent 5 hours walking the lot, camped on the beach for a week and went back to Lazydays on the way home and walked the lot for 6 more hours. That place is amazing!
Our problem we are finding out I’d the lack of dealers here in Oregon. If we buy out of state they want you to bring the rig back to them for warranty work. That would be a good drive to get to any major dealer except Camping World.
I’m liking this tour I would love to see documents pictures of documents that they require the customer to read about the Inspection they do before they agreed to coach is ready to sell to a consumer
I have been trying to buy an rv for several months with no luck so far. I guess will need to try Lazy days. Would they have prices for every budget? Will see.
Great video, I love the part the where the driver education driver backs that brand new camper right into the tree branches try to tear the roof or rip off the air conditioner 😂😂 Lazy days is definitely no Camping World thank god!!
LOL! yea.. it looked worse on camera than it was.... Just small branches., and the footage was sped up a little to capture backing in without it taking too long... We know everyone's time is valuable. 😊
You guys NAILED IT! Of all the videos that I’ve watched of Lazy Days, this is the best. I had no idea the scale and grandness of this RV Dealership. I’m so impressed with well, everything. The specialized knowledgeable people in every area (as well as the areas themselves) is truly amazing to me. The restaurants the pools the arcades the shopping the campgrounds and the so much more that I’m not even aware of, is on such a Grand Scheme of things. I can clearly see now why this is call the “World’s Largest RV Dealership” Thank you so much for sharing!
Great video. This is what my husband and I are doing next year at his retirement- no experience RVing but, we bought one, and are gonna full-time. It’s good to see others do that, too. I like how you can just go and check it out. (We also liked that Momentum, too.) Anyhow, thanks!
It is very nice! We only stayed 2 nights there and we fully engrossed in moving in, so we didn't get to really enjoy it. Some friends of ours live near there and say the Exit 10 is a great place to just go eat even if you're not camping there. Thanks for watching, Dale. Hope you check out the rest of our channel. 😊
We have visited here multiple times and camped here as well. We stopped in there last year and looked at a Foretravel Nimbus they had. When I mentioned the water intrusion in the bed area and the grease on the carpet and having them take care of both, I was told rig sold as is. We walked! Since I have sold RV's in the past and have had everything from a tent to a diesel pusher, I guess my buyer beware goes into action when at any dealership, let alone Lazydays! I am glad you had a great buying experience. That's what counts in the end!
That's very odd.. Was that Nimbus some kind of trade in clearance? I can't imagine them selling any RV "as is" with known water damage. Maybe you got some rogue sales person...
Just found this video. Love your channel, subbed. We also have a Grand Design 5er, a 2017 Reflection 303rls. We love it. May head down to Lazy Days just to see it.
When was this filmed? We bought our 5th wheel there this past summer, and I promptly backed it into a gas station overhang...lol. Took it back and they did a fantastic job repairing it! Anyway, saw what could have been our 3731FL on the left right after you passed the "glass" area... but it would have been a few months ago.
We filmed this the week of Thanksgiving. So, must have been a different one. We did have someone else spot their rig in service though. Small world! Thanks for watching and hope you check out the rest of our channel. 😊
Wow what an operation. Big overhead cost. What I didn’t like about the big time RV show was the inexperienced buyers they used who didn’t know that you should get a minimum 25-40% discount off a new RV. You Really need to educate yourself before you buy and research various models and floor plans. You save So much buying used. My dream coach was an Entegra, the more practical was the Tuscany 42GX. Had to have something to take the motorcycle on the road also. Then the Grand design came out with the model with the garage Under the bed allowing full length living area at half the cost of diesel pusher including new truck. Ended up finding a pristine National diesel pusher for under 50k that fills all our boxes paid cash and didn’t break the bank. Patience, research and a realistic assessment of your needs vs wants paid off for us. Soooo Happy....
I'm sure there's some level of negotiations that go on outside what's edited for a 30 minute show. Likely the same for GoingRV, etc. They don't want to publish anything less than advertised prices.
Perhaps u guys can make a report vlog about If It is possible and how to,.... get ohne of these (perhaps from lazydays) to GE. And the competition about that. That were fun and real helpful for all ur youtube visitierstors from Germany and europe at all.
To be honest, we're not really sure how it works with exports. We have sent a few people to our contact at Lazydays (Bama), about purchases in EU and Russia... Pretty sure they can arrange that, just sure how. If it's something you're interested in, send an email to telliott@lazydays.com (Tracy "Bama" Elliot). We're going to send him an email also.. because now I'm curious! 😊
Great video! I live in Oregon and I am sold on flying to Florida to go get the full experience of what to look at in RVs. I would love to start traveling now but my wife and kids are stuck on owning objects over having experiences. I am a 100% disabled vet so we are not locked down to any home.
Great video Just need to find open concept toyhauler. Need 20' length by 5' wide for our Triglides. Anybody have any ideas besides racecar trailers? Take care folks
Cool thing is I heard that they are actually looking into possibly opening a Lazy Days location here in Anderson, SC. Camping World I have heard is also looking at possibly opening a location in the area due to all the lakes (Hartwell, Jocassee, Keowee, Russell, etc) getting 22 million visitors a year. If both of these chains were to be compared, which one would you rather go to for sales? For service? Why? (If you respond, thank you. We are thinking of getting into this. Also, thanks for the quality tour video!)
We really have no experience with any RV dealer service department. So, we don't have a lot to add there. Our buying experience at Lazydays was great overall. We've not heard much positive about Camping World. They have a really bad reputation in the RV community. Based on our limited experience and anecdotal info, we'd definitely pick LD over CW any day.
We are very happy with our GD fifth wheel. I well say I wish your video about lazy Days was put out sooner we bought ours from LeMesa RV in Sanford FL and it was not the professional dealer that I see that Lazy Days is. I won’t go into the negative details but I would NEVER buy from that company again. With that said, I will buy another GD. Thanks for your great videos and have a wonderful New Year!
Hey guys love your channel. I have learned a lot from your experiences. Have you been back to Lazydays for service since? I would be interested to know your experience if you have.
We are very rarely in the area so we've always dealt with Grand Design directly for warranty work. Much easier having a mobile tech come to us. We do have to pay the mobile fee (usually ~ $75), but well worth it to stay put and have them come to us! Sorry that doesn't answer your question about Lazydays service. The feedback we've received has been both positive and negative (in regards to Lazydays service, but that's to be expected with any dealer service department we think. Thanks for following our journey! 😊
No problem.. That was one big requirement for us... We wanted to make sure that the warranty did not preclude full time living and also that they would work directly with us on any warranty issues, with a mobile tech or sending us parts directly. It's been great!
Hey there. I subscribed to your channel as soon as I found you, and I am really glad I did. I think you are the funniest RVers I have found so far. Oh, and you also put out the most informative videos by far.

Why would you bother with Camping World when you have great dealers like this! These guys actually ‘care!’ 👍👍

Changing Lanes
Gotta stay tough and focused.
First off... I think you guys are doing a great job. I really enjoy your videos. My wife and I live in Colorado and have been to the LD locations here but, we also have been to the main location in FL. The location in Florida is much different than the other locations.

Been watching your videos now for awhile and preparing for full time RV life since we have just fully retired. Keep the information on RV’s and the travel log coming,.
Congrats on your retirement! We're a little jealous! 😊
I bought a class A 35 ft 94 Bounder from here in 05 and cruised the country for 4 years with not one single mechanical problem. Sometimes older is not so bad.
I just found your channel and loving it. We bought our 2018 Montana front kitchen at that Lazy Days. They take care of you and really seem to care about their customers. We were trading our Grand Design, so they put us up free in the campground and gave us vouchers for a free breakfast and lunch for two weeks. And of course the free Dr. Pepper. Lol. Thanks for the video. 👍
Glad you had a good experience like us!
What an awesome video, and so informative!! Thank you for sharing! Love all your videos!! Definitely going to go to Lazydays next time I’m in Florida!!!
Say HI to Bama! 😀
You guys are awesome! 😁
We are from Texas but after hearing about Lasy Days from you guys and some other UA-cam channels, we've chosen them for our dealership. We aren't leaving to go full time for 2 more years BUT we get to visit there next spring.
If you make it to Tampa, be sure to look up Bama! 👍🏼 😊
Another informative video. We were considering going down to Lazydays in FL for our 5th wheel......after watching this, we will go. Nothing like one stop shopping. Thank you Tara and Chad!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it! Be sure to ask for Bama and tell him we sent you. 😊
@@ChangingLanes We will ask for him. We have also seen him on TV. BTW - what breed is Daisy....Havanese?
She is a "Morkie" - Maltese / Yorkie mix. Zero shedding and perfect size for full time travel! 😊
@@ChangingLanes She's adorable!
I like this video a lot. You guys did a great job covering so much of what lazy days is and has to offer. I think if the day comes when we are going to upgrade our rig Lazydays is going to be the place we buy from. Thank you for sharing and safe travels.
Absolutely brilliant as usual. By far my favorite RV channel.
Thank you, Christopher! 😎
When I was there, early March 2020 (pre-covid), our sales person didn't seem to interested in our business. He certainly didn't tell us anything about what the place had to offer... I was looking forward to this planned visit and ended up disapointed. I did buy a class A 6 month later. Your video was very informative and I now realize everything I missed and didn't see. I will go back eventually and ask if Bama is available. 😁
Awesome video guys
I love Bama. Awesome video thank you
Wow!! Great video and tons of cool info! My wife and I are planning on visiting that same store in Jan when we go to the Tampa RV Show. We are also thinking about going to the Knoxville location in Oct or Nov. We both follow you guys and greatly appreciate all your helpful videos. If all goes well we plan to buy our first RV sometime early next year. Thank you again!
Great Job you guys !!! Excellent video and informative… We are looking to upgrade from our TT To a toy hauler and this looks like our first stop 🙏🙏
The first time we went to Lazy Days the salesman didn’t give us the time of day. Then I found the coach I wanted online and they had a used one in stock. sales was great, the second time maybe because I already knew what I was looking for. Service not so much they have a terrible rating online and they earned it. We drove 2 hours on our scheduled delivery day and the coach was not ready we had a 9 am delivery and we did not get out of there until almost 4 pm. Since we were not spending the night it was a very long and frustrating day. What started out as a great morning turned into a nightmare before it was all over. But we love the coach and our salesperson was great!
We've heard a couple of one-off stories about not-so-friendly sales people. I'm sure Lazydays would love to know who these sales people are, as it's definitely not in line with their standards. Sorry to hear about your delivery experience. Glad it all worked out in the end. 😊
Talk about timing! I was wondering today where y’all purchased your Momentum, low and behold this popped into my UA-cam feed this evening. Great video, thank y’all for sharing!
UA-cam is reading your mind! 😳
Great video! I live in California and had a terrible buying experience a couple of years ago when we bought our toyhauler. Based on what I saw in your video, I'll go there for our next RV. Totally worth the drive in my opinion.
They also have locations in CO and AZ... Not as large, but shorter drive... 😊
Thank you... We always Enjoy..
Great video! In particular great PR for Lazy Days. Wait till you have to return to get repairs done. They are very attentive during the sale process, but afterwards is a different story. We have a class A Tiffin from Lazy Days took it back for some minor body work and minor cabinet work. Six weeks later after I would not approve the sloppy body work and paint we got it back. Still the cabinet work not completed. They left a damaged cabinet pull because they did no have enough time. Six weeks! This was a Crown Club coach. Good luck. Being that you are a u tuber they might do better with you.
Pretty much every dealership has horrible service stories, which is why we never go to any dealer for service. DIY or Mobile techs only. 👍🏼
Thanks Guys great job safe travels 👍🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very Enjoyable & Thorough .... mvc
Thanks for watching, Michael! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Impressive for sure
Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel. 😊
Great review- me and the wife are driving to Tampa August 15 and will stop at LAZYDAYS FOR SURE -- Were in search of a RV and that looks like th3 perfect place to find one 🍻
We definitely enjoy this video thanks you guys and thanks Bama
Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Great video (all of them). You’ve helped open our eyes to the option of a Toy Hauler though we have no toys. This video has come to us at a great time. We are headed to Florida for a week and plan to make a 2 hour drive to Lazy Days to see their GD stock and get the experience. We live in PA but if they rock the experience and RV, I am not opposed to buying here when it’s time
Enjoyed very much. Love watching the RV show with Bama and others from Lazydays RV
Thank you for the video, wow its huge !!!
Thanks for watching, Byung! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Excellent video! A lot of good information.
Thanks so much for the video, what an amazing place. We can't wait to check it out the next time we are in the area!
Love your videos. My wife and I are picking up our rig tomorrow at this Lazy days! In fact that Mesa Ridge @ 8:37 is ours haha.
Oh nice!! What a great way to start the new year! Congrats😃🚃
You guys have an awesome setup. One thing with a class A most will still be towing a vehicle if you are doing a lot of traveling or full timing. We have had the motorhome, class C and now it will be a trailer. Would love a 5er but both the wife and I have knee problems so want to eliminate as many steps as possible. Another nice video you guys put out. Again love watching your videos. Wishing the two of you a Happy and Healthy New Year. Travel safe. Cheers..
Thanks, and Happy New Year, Jim! 😊
I just want to say you guys have my dream truck. I love Fords F-350 and F-450s are my favorite trucks. When i grow up I want a F-450 turbo diesel, king size cab, 2 size bed, lifted, with a chrome semi exhaust pipe with a 46ft toy hauler. That is my dreams.
I just saw an F650 on Facebook... Still cleaning up the drool from my keyboard.... 😎
Excellent video. The RV resort is a great place to stay if you are in the Tampa Bay Area.
Ok ,I knows we’re I’ma going. Across the bridge an Woooo Hoooo . What makes this 5* is that you’ll expand One Stop Shop. And the difference in USAA Theirs. Perks and just how much you can get done in one place WOW what a video. I might do a replay. Bell Well. May 4 2o2o
I sure wish we had the same experience with Lazy Days as you guys did, prior to the 2023 Florida State RV Supershow, let alone the first “accidental” RV we bought at Lazy Days in Longmont, CO. Seffner really let us down with the service department and the RV park.
Fortunately, we only experienced the sales (and sales related service) side of the dealership. It seems most dealership service departments have bad reputations....
Thanks , now I know where to go when we are ready to buy.
Great video! Very well done.
Looks like a cool place to go for every thing and thanks for the tour around. Question those classes they offer, do they charge a fee for each class like they charge for the driver confidence class for non customers or are they free classes for anyone to attend?
Just recently subscribed to your channel. We purchased our Grand Design Transcend Xplor 260RB Travel trailer from Lazydays in Tucson. Same Great Experience. Thanks.
Welcome to the GDRV family and Welcome to our channel! 😊
Gonna have to check this place out
Thanks again for the videos, plz, keep them coming? Eric Sulen, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Thanks for following our journey! 😊
I cannot wait to go!
Great video guys, wish the Lazy Days operations here in the Denver Metro area were as complete as yours. Unfortunately they do not sell GD in Colorado. We will be ordering a GD Solitude from a different dealer this year, and going full time spring of 2020. Regarding service, I have taken my current 5ver, a Keystone Sprinter, into the Denver LD for warranty work and winterizing with no issues. I would say the 6-P’s we learned in the Navy would bod well, as they did for you two.
Excellent video thank you for sharing. I am in NC but will definitely head there when we look for our next rig.
Awesome!! 😃
WOW! Lazydays is quite an operation! Your 25 minute video flew by! Nice presentation!
Great video guys! Lazydays looks amazing! You did a great job capturing the property and all it has to offer. Our little tiny Grand Design dealership in Redmond Oregon is sooooooo small by comparison.
We went to Lazydays on our way to Ft. Meyers based on your recommendation. Spent 5 hours walking the lot, camped on the beach for a week and went back to Lazydays on the way home and walked the lot for 6 more hours. That place is amazing!
Glad you liked it! 😊
Thanks! Great video!
Our problem we are finding out I’d the lack of dealers here in Oregon. If we buy out of state they want you to bring the rig back to them for warranty work. That would be a good drive to get to any major dealer except Camping World.
I’m liking this tour I would love to see documents pictures of documents that they require the customer to read about the Inspection they do before they agreed to coach is ready to sell to a consumer
Really Enjoyed This
I have been trying to buy an rv for several months with no luck so far. I guess will need to try Lazy days. Would they have prices for every budget? Will see.
Great video, I love the part the where the driver education driver backs that brand new camper right into the tree branches try to tear the roof or rip off the air conditioner 😂😂 Lazy days is definitely no Camping World thank god!!
LOL! yea.. it looked worse on camera than it was.... Just small branches., and the footage was sped up a little to capture backing in without it taking too long... We know everyone's time is valuable. 😊
Great job, enjoyed the video. Wish we lived closer. I would be there every weekend :) see you at the RV show.
LOL! It felt like we were there every weekend 😜 We look forward to meeting you!
You guys NAILED IT! Of all the videos that I’ve watched of Lazy Days, this is the best. I had no idea the scale and grandness of this RV Dealership. I’m so impressed with well, everything. The specialized knowledgeable people in every area (as well as the areas themselves) is truly amazing to me. The restaurants the pools the arcades the shopping the campgrounds and the so much more that I’m not even aware of, is on such a Grand Scheme of things. I can clearly see now why this is call the “World’s Largest RV Dealership” Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
good luck with service there it could take months to get your rig worked on i know a few people that has hit that problem there
Great video. This is what my husband and I are doing next year at his retirement- no experience RVing but, we bought one, and are gonna full-time. It’s good to see others do that, too. I like how you can just go and check it out. (We also liked that Momentum, too.) Anyhow, thanks!
Good luck and safe travels! 😊
Great vid
Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel. 😊
Great campground there at the dealership.
It is very nice! We only stayed 2 nights there and we fully engrossed in moving in, so we didn't get to really enjoy it. Some friends of ours live near there and say the Exit 10 is a great place to just go eat even if you're not camping there. Thanks for watching, Dale. Hope you check out the rest of our channel. 😊
I have to go there one day
We have visited here multiple times and camped here as well. We stopped in there last year and looked at a Foretravel Nimbus they had. When I mentioned the water intrusion in the bed area and the grease on the carpet and having them take care of both, I was told rig sold as is. We walked! Since I have sold RV's in the past and have had everything from a tent to a diesel pusher, I guess my buyer beware goes into action when at any dealership, let alone Lazydays! I am glad you had a great buying experience. That's what counts in the end!
That's very odd.. Was that Nimbus some kind of trade in clearance? I can't imagine them selling any RV "as is" with known water damage. Maybe you got some rogue sales person...
Just found this video. Love your channel, subbed. We also have a Grand Design 5er, a 2017 Reflection 303rls. We love it. May head down to Lazy Days just to see it.
Welcome to our channel, Captain! 😎 Thanks for watching!
When was this filmed? We bought our 5th wheel there this past summer, and I promptly backed it into a gas station overhang...lol. Took it back and they did a fantastic job repairing it! Anyway, saw what could have been our 3731FL on the left right after you passed the "glass" area... but it would have been a few months ago.
We filmed this the week of Thanksgiving. So, must have been a different one. We did have someone else spot their rig in service though. Small world! Thanks for watching and hope you check out the rest of our channel. 😊
Great video 👍🏻
Wow what an operation. Big overhead cost. What I didn’t like about the big time RV show was the inexperienced buyers they used who didn’t know that you should get a minimum 25-40% discount off a new RV. You Really need to educate yourself before you buy and research various models and floor plans. You save So much buying used. My dream coach was an Entegra, the more practical was the Tuscany 42GX. Had to have something to take the motorcycle on the road also. Then the Grand design came out with the model with the garage Under the bed allowing full length living area at half the cost of diesel pusher including new truck. Ended up finding a pristine National diesel pusher for under 50k that fills all our boxes paid cash and didn’t break the bank. Patience, research and a realistic assessment of your needs vs wants paid off for us. Soooo Happy....
I'm sure there's some level of negotiations that go on outside what's edited for a 30 minute show. Likely the same for GoingRV, etc. They don't want to publish anything less than advertised prices.
Great Video !
Perhaps u guys can make a report vlog about If It is possible and how to,.... get ohne of these (perhaps from lazydays) to GE.
And the competition about that. That were fun and real helpful for all ur youtube visitierstors from Germany and europe at all.
To be honest, we're not really sure how it works with exports. We have sent a few people to our contact at Lazydays (Bama), about purchases in EU and Russia... Pretty sure they can arrange that, just sure how. If it's something you're interested in, send an email to telliott@lazydays.com (Tracy "Bama" Elliot). We're going to send him an email also.. because now I'm curious! 😊
GREAT video!! Thank you!!
Great video! I live in Oregon and I am sold on flying to Florida to go get the full experience of what to look at in RVs. I would love to start traveling now but my wife and kids are stuck on owning objects over having experiences. I am a 100% disabled vet so we are not locked down to any home.
Great video Just need to find open concept toyhauler. Need 20' length by 5' wide for our Triglides. Anybody have any ideas besides racecar trailers? Take care folks
I love office of my favorite toy uhaler trailer forever
we go to exercise and look at the new toy haulers we get our steps in thats for sure
Cool thing is I heard that they are actually looking into possibly opening a Lazy Days location here in Anderson, SC. Camping World I have heard is also looking at possibly opening a location in the area due to all the lakes (Hartwell, Jocassee, Keowee, Russell, etc) getting 22 million visitors a year.
If both of these chains were to be compared, which one would you rather go to for sales? For service? Why?
(If you respond, thank you. We are thinking of getting into this. Also, thanks for the quality tour video!)
We really have no experience with any RV dealer service department. So, we don't have a lot to add there. Our buying experience at Lazydays was great overall. We've not heard much positive about Camping World. They have a really bad reputation in the RV community. Based on our limited experience and anecdotal info, we'd definitely pick LD over CW any day.
We are very happy with our GD fifth wheel. I well say I wish your video about lazy Days was put out sooner we bought ours from LeMesa RV in Sanford FL and it was not the professional dealer that I see that Lazy Days is. I won’t go into the negative details but I would NEVER buy from that company again. With that said, I will buy another GD. Thanks for your great videos and have a wonderful New Year!
Great tour. Didn't realize how big that place is. I would like to see the one in Arizona is like. Thanks, and Happy New Year.
We'll hopefully be checking out the AZ Lazydays this year...
Makes my head spin
Hey guys love your channel. I have learned a lot from your experiences. Have you been back to Lazydays for service since? I would be interested to know your experience if you have.
We are very rarely in the area so we've always dealt with Grand Design directly for warranty work. Much easier having a mobile tech come to us. We do have to pay the mobile fee (usually ~ $75), but well worth it to stay put and have them come to us!
Sorry that doesn't answer your question about Lazydays service. The feedback we've received has been both positive and negative (in regards to Lazydays service, but that's to be expected with any dealer service department we think.
Thanks for following our journey! 😊
@@ChangingLanes i did not think you could do that for warranty work. what a great thing to know. Thanks!
No problem.. That was one big requirement for us... We wanted to make sure that the warranty did not preclude full time living and also that they would work directly with us on any warranty issues, with a mobile tech or sending us parts directly. It's been great!
hay thanks . that was cool
Thanks for watching! 😃
Will you two be around for the Tampa RV show January 16th-20th? Well worth the first time visit!
Yep! changinglanesrv.com/our-first-meetup/
