Thistle Dew Too

Thistle Dew Too, aka 2000 Lazy Daze 26.5' Mid-Bath, January 2008

There's a phrase in RV-dom: "Wannabees". That's what we've been for many years. We've been following many on-line RV forums, reading various blogs, visiting RV dealerships, factories and shows, and even have made a couple of offers on some used RVs. But to no avail.

And that's been OK. We are, by any measure, patient shoppers, and pretty good researchers.

That all changed today. That's right -- we are no longer "wannabees". Now we are "gonnabees" ;-)

We saw a posting for a used 2000 26.5' Mid-bath Lazy Daze motorhome, and thought it was a good deal. So after a short discussion in the hot tub (that's where much of our RV fantasizing is done) we agreed to try and buy this one. And sure enough the gods were smiling, because somehow, we were the ones whose offer was accepted.

Our future Lazy Daze RV, to be known as Thistle Dew Too, is shown above. The current owners are buying a new 2008 RV -- same brand, same model. And they will be driving across country to pick up their new one in Montclair, CA. We've contracted to buy their old unit at the time they take delivery of the new one.

And so, the adventure really will begin soon. We're excited. What a way to start off the new year!
