Changes by year

means "new for the year"

IMPORTANT: Like most RV makers, Lazy Daze sometimes built coaches on the previous year's chassis. Thus an early-1985 Lazy Daze may have been built on a 1984 Chevy chassis (mine was). In addition, chassis manufacturers sometimes made changes during a given model year, and Lazy Daze sometimes tweaked their design during a given model year. Thus, although this guide is as accurate as the information available to me, it can't be taken literally.
