Search and Conquer

If you have gone to Lazy Days (aka Crazy Days) you know that it is a Disneyland for grownups. As far as the eye can see, there are rows upon rows of motorcoaches in all styles and colors. Each manufacturer has its own area and within that area the different styles are parked together for easy viewing.
It is quite daunting as you can imagine. We had spoken with a sales rep prior to our visit since we were planning on checking out the coaches which we had seen on-line. If you don't have a sales rep, one will be assigned to you.
One thing we did find was that our rep had some very specific ideas of his own and would make some bizarre comments when we asked questions. At one point during our search, my husband and I had to ask our rep to give us some private time to talk since he stuck to us like glue. It was only then when we could walk around on our own (we actually tried to hide out for a little while) just so we could look at the coaches by ourselves.
We did find a coach, an Allegro Bay, which we thought fit the bill. When we caught up with our rep we talked about the possibility of special order since there were some things that we would have preferred. It was then when we were presented with the Zephyr. We walked into that coach and fell in love. It had everything we wanted and more. I do have to say that our sales rep did not try to show us coaches above our original price range. It was my husband and I who upped the ante. But maybe there was some reverse psychology going on, but Lee and I felt that we found the one.
But now the big question remained: Could we make this happen????????

Happy New Year

Well hello fellow RV'ers,
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. The holidays are a crazy time and it is nice to know that my life in the slow lane is always there for me and my husband.
Thanks to anonymous for their comments. You can find it under the November posting. I am not quite sure why it didn't appear under the December one since it was dated December 10th.

My husband and I indeed purchased a "brand" new Zephyr (Tiffin) at "Crazy" Days. I will tell you that you get bleary eyed after you see about 10 coaches. I think we saw about 20+ new ones before we saw "the one". If you would have told me that we were about to purchase a 45 foot luxury coach with all the bells and whistles, I would have thought you were crazy. But we did and felt that we got a decent price. (maybe not the best deal financially......but sometimes the timing, your particular situation, and the convenience create a best deal at the time!)

But the process to find "the one" was certainly not easy.............
