Out with the Old. In with the New(ish).

We have been at Lazy Days RV Center here in Seffner, FL since Wednesday when we traded our Winnebago Journey for a pre-owned Tiffin Phaeton. The Phaeton was traded in for a 2015 Tiffin and our sales person, Dana Philp, contacted us and told us it was coming in. We gave her a deposit to hold it until we could come down and see it. That was last month. She knew this was one of two coach models we were interested in. (The other was a Newmar)

We wanted a newer coach that was a little shorter than the Journey to make it easier to get into state and national parks, and at 36’ this one fit the bill. It also had the other key elements we were after: tile floors, leather-like upholstery, and a residential refrigerator.

So, we came down Wednesday and checked it out. No major issues, so we made the deal. As is usually the case there were some things that needed to be fixed and we had three accessories we wanted to have added. Lazy Days is very good about fixing any malfunctioning items before you leave and it has taken a few days to get them all sorted out.

We noted that there was an outlet that was not working. While troubleshooting the technician found this as the problem! The original owners were lucky they did not lose the coach to fire!

Moving in.

Just waiting for final fixes. They are closed on Sundays.

Peeking in at night. Sorry for the mess, its moving day.

We were supposed to spend this weekend at Lake Louisa State Park to run systems through their paces, but alas, we are still here. That is not too bad, though. The coach came with a two-year membership to Lazy Days Crown Club. We are in a nice shaded campsite and they are providing breakfast, lunch and a happy hour each day. Not bad at all.
