Option to replace aluminum section panels?
Lady and Gents,

I recently purchased a used Lazy Daze and I was wondering if any of you LDOs had ever had LD factory replaced the aluminum section panels. ... and if you had LD factory work on your lazy daze, can you share what part of the panels were placed and the price you paid for those replacements.  Thank you

Very Respectfully,

IMO, this question would be better answered by calling Vince at the factory and detailing to him exactly what you want/need to be "replaced". He is in the best position (the only position, again IMO) to say "yay" or "nay" on feasibility and costs.

YMMV, of course.

Repairs that require replacement of aluminum panels are expensive, once the painting and end caps are added in.
If the panels are beyond repair, LD has the equipment to fabricate replacement panels, something many body shops will not be able to do
LD does good work and is the preferred place to have major repairs done. The prices are fair but at the top end of the scale.

Twelve years ago, our near new LD needed one, short panel replaced, it cost $1800 and looks original.

Plus one on LD's quality repairs. Last year I took a uhaul trailer hitch through the bottom of my coach door.

Vince worked his usual magic and two weeks later and $435 you would never know it had been repaired.

Dave, check out this blog and scroll back through it to the photos of side panels being replaced. Quite a project - one I would personally not undertake. The Odd Essay: February 2015
