Yup, it’s true, we are selling Therapy. It seems that we are not destined to be travelers and we would like to see someone get some use out of this RV. For those of you not familiar with my blog, this is a 2011 31’ TB Lazy Daze. We bought it new from the factory and took delivery on February 24, 2011.
We booked it out on NADA and the suggested retail price is $93,500. Low retail is $63,934 and average retail comes in at $77,042. We have about 16,000 miles on it and have all service records. We are asking $75K for the motorhome. Also selling the Honda Fit that is set up to tow with the motorhome. They look good together!! Will sell separately or together. We haven’t yet booked out the Fit so don’t know yet what the price will be but it will be fair. The Fit has 22K miles on it.
One of the reasons we wanted a motorhome was so we could travel with our beloved dogs, Rusty and Poppy. If you have read the blog, you know that didn’t work out well. Both dogs were old, and although they wanted to travel, it was just too hard on them. We ended up leaving them home with a sitter most of the time and that was NOT what we wanted. When we lost first Rusty, and a year later, Poppy, we just didn’t have the same urge to travel. We put over 10,000 miles on the coach the first year we had it and then in the last three years less than 6000 more miles total.
We now have two new-to-us dogs, and we made one trip with them.
Seems the lady we got them from was not exactly honest with her reasons for re-homing the dogs. Jewel is just that: a jewel. Her brother, Ollie, however, is a whole different story. Ollie has “issues!” He is reactive and fearful and that makes him aggressive. That does NOT make for a good travel dog. He is very fearful of new situations and does not like strangers
or other dogs. The problem is, he is very loving with us and we love him right back. We have spent thousands on training and medication for Ollie and he is better, but he will never be a calm, normal dog. He is just not wired that way. At one point I called the breed rescue about the possibility of finding a more suitable home for him. They will not take him because of his aggression and their attorney told us we could be liable if we re-homed him and he bit someone. He has never drawn blood but he has snapped at most family members. So it’s basically us or we put him down. I’m just not ready to do that yet and so will continue with training and meds for now. Thus, we will not be traveling. Even if by some miracle Ollie became suddenly manageable, I just don’t want to travel with dogs anymore. We are happy here and we go on rides and day trips and I think that will be enough.
So if you have been thinking about a Class C, do your research and see if a Lazy Daze might be the rig for you. You can contact us at grandma_kr at yahoo dot com. Thanks and happy travels to you all out there. I still read blogs when I am not training the dogs but haven’t had much time to comment.
