John,

My 05 Magna has been in the shop at Lazy Days for at least 150 days in the past year and a half. That is why we moved to Florida to be near LDs. We have also been in shops in Denver, Redmond, and to many other places to remember. We have even been in a shop in Newfoundland. That's the nature of this business, just like boats, you visit the shop before you leave and make an appointment to visit when you come back. Every RV is like that, it's unfortunate the sales people do not tell newcomers the facts of life. Each time I buy a new model coach I pray that I wait till the new model is 2 years old but I don't. Our last coach was a 2001 Magna with some different problems, and before that a 2000 Intrigue. I know the owner of that coach and he has had his share of trouble. Before that we had a 1996 Safari with the same issues and before that a 1993 Southwind which lost the entire rear axle in Ohio at 5000 miles. You people are not alone. Until someone starts building a coach with parts made for this use we will continue to have problems. Coach manufacturers are not manufacturers they are assemblers of a mess of parts which in most cases were ment for homes or trucks. They are put together by people not robots and the people are not highly paid. And their engineering team would probably fit in our bathroom. No matter what you buy you are going to have problems, ask my neighbor who has a $1,500,000 Newel. If you ask my wife about our coach she will say she hates it and she calls it our "check book sucker" but she would not trade our time on the road for anything but a cruise ship. So we do both and we have been on cruise ships that also break down.
Happy Trails, this will not make people feel any better but that's the RV business, the workers at LDs called it job security. I am also not a spy for CCI. We are getting ready to go on a rally with our community and on the way back we have to make a stop in Orlando for a coach allignment and replacement of two wheel seals and then it on to Lazy Days for a few minor items including a minor oil leak. Life is good and Lazy Days is a good place to hang out, free booze, food and a campsite but I wish some of the snow birds would go home, then the lines would be shorter at lunch.
