There are all sorts of check lists online, search for RV PDI list or predelivery list. And take a good one with you. They will have a lot of items for you to look at, we found a couple items when we did ours, one vent fan didn't work for one thing.
x2 on the above get everything running. Roll down the awning and so on.
