I own both, a Class C and a Class A. I am happy with both of mine, but I did some work on each to make them the way I want. Mostly electrical stuff, such as adding a lith house battery, smartshunts, DC2DCC so I can run several KWs of stuff without using the generator. That includes such work on my new 2022 Class A, which you may read about here and perhaps you will want to join the forum there to get countless other opinions.For those of you with them, good/bad idea? Happy with your purchase or greatest mistake?
That is the norm for RVs. Each one can have different color wires and such for the same runs and they are always messy where you cannot normally see with wires all over. My new 2022 165K$ Class A is NO exception. In fact, I expect such as I understand how they are built. It's kinda like anything goes where you cannot normally see.e. Wiring behind that was a rat's nest jumble of wires with nothing labeled.
That is the norm for RVs. AFAIK, there are NONE that are neat with house wiring, it's just the very messy wiring is located where you don't normally look.

Have you looked at a few? With any brand, one can be neat and the next messy. Different people are building the same models with no real plan on most of the house wiring. If they are all done the same way and neat, that would really be surprising.Lazy Daze makes one of the few exceptions with neat wiring even where it doesn't show.

I assume you know Lazy Daze is now out of business.

Sometimes it is more complicated than that, even for one person.Thanks for the input. Lots to think about. For the most part I'll be by myself or with 1 other, so I don't need to sleep a bunch of peopl.e
That really surprises me. They must have been the only ones. That will explain the neat wiring.It was an assembly line, so the same people did each job,

Yeah, some of the RVs with slideouts I won't even look at. In my new Class A it has plenty of room for every thing needed with the slides in. The kitchen simply has more space with the slide out and then two more beds can be used. The rear has a king bed where the slide must be out. But it is easy to cook or use the john and such with the slides in.That, and Lazy Daze refused to do slide outs. The floor plans were instead all optimized for use without slide outs. A friend had a "Big Foot" with slide for the couch area that doubled as a bedroom with the couch unfolded. Without the slide extended, it was a hassle to move around in. When folded up for the couch and the slide out, all it netted was a bunch of essentially useless open space in front of the couch. Also, unlike the Lazy Daze, that has relatively shallow outside storage compartments, the Big Foot had a full basement with some compartments going full width of the vehicle under the living space floor, so the vehicle height was considerably more than the LD. We traded off driving the two RV's on one trip. The LD handled far better than the BF, better acceleration, much better steering without the constant corrections the BF required. Just better all around. He sold it.
They have been improved a lot over the years. And people need to know how to use them. Such as be as level as possible and open the doors and windows when the slideouts are moved. They push a lot of air.Everyone I know eventually has problems with them,
I was lucky to get a generator with my new RV. I purchased my RV last September. They were selling many other RVs with no genny because Onan couldn't buy a ten cent part for the control board during the COVID thing and Onan would not release any gennys that were not completed.I imagine those coincidences happened all across the country to small companies,
