"right in this area of NY there doesn't seem to be too many dealers, unless I
drive to Jersey, and I am not finding too many people selling their rigs around
here that I can look at."
Well, you won't find Lazy Dazes at dealers (unless you stumble upon a dealer
selling a used one, and that's rare). And the only show the factory attends is
the one in Pomona, CA in the fall. What you will find at shows is a bunch of
cheaply made other brands and slick salesmen who'll pressure you to buy right
now, because "this price is only good today." ;-)
However, there's a large and active Northeastern Lazy Daze caravan club that
meets twice a year:

Their next get-together is in late September in Watkins Glen, NY. Traditionally,
Saturday morning is "open house," and wannabe LDers are welcomed. This is your
perfect opportunity to see most or all of the models and floorplans and talk to
some great folks--good friends of mine who helped me along when I was just
starting out as an RVer. :-)
