Vintage 1999 Lazy Daze · Class C · est. 2026
Life is better with a little Dazey.
Vintage RV life, camping adventures, renovations, road trips, good food, and one very spoiled traveling cat.
Meet Dazey
She's vintage. She's quirky. And she's ours.
Dazey is our 1999 Lazy Daze motorhome — part camper, part renovation project, and already part of the family. After a long search, we found our "unicorn" RV: a sturdy, well-loved Class C with good bones and a whole lot of character.
We're figuring out vintage RV life one campsite, repair, decorating project, and road trip at a time — restoring and updating her while preserving the charm and quality that made us fall in love.

The faces behind the adventure
Dazey
1999 Lazy Daze · the star
Our vintage Class C motorhome and the whole reason this exists. She's quirky, she's sturdy, and she's already part of the family. We're restoring her one project at a time.
Tino
Traveling cat & morale officer
A spoiled rescue kitty who has claimed Dazey as his kingdom. Expert napper, window bird-watcher, and the reason we own so many lint rollers. Camping with a cat is chaotic joy.
Phil
Driver & chief fixer
Keeps the engine humming and the plumbing not-leaking. Has watched more RV repair YouTube at midnight than he'd care to admit. Brings the calm when a tire blows.
Nikki
Co-pilot & head decorator
Finds the campgrounds, picks the color palette, and makes sure Dazey always feels like home. Will rearrange a cabinet at 11pm because it 'wasn't speaking to her.'
Latest adventures
From the road
Among the Redwoods
Our first long haul in Dazey — foggy mornings, cathedral trees, and a campsite that felt like our own private forest. Tino was not impressed by the fog.
High Desert Crossing
Three states, two blown tires, and the best sunrise we've ever seen over the canyon rim. Dazey earned her keep — and Phil earned a nap.
Still Water at Dawn
A quiet week by the water. Mornings on the lake, evenings by the heater, and the first real chill of the season. Exactly the reset we needed.
