Not a mistake really but my selling dealer did no PDI even though he said he did. There were problems but I took care of most myself. The problem was we live in NY and the dealer is in Florida. We were looking for a specific model and so we had to settle with a long distance sale. Flew to dealer in Florida, No (or at least poor) PDI but what can we do? The rig was what we wanted, the price was good, It's a Camping World so there is a network of dealers for a little extra care as we travel (they treat RV's sold by CW a little better as far as moving you up in line when waiting for service etc.....in theory anyway).
It cost me a couple hundred dollars to do some repairs and a rented carpet cleaner and some elbow grease to clean it up and a bunch of phone calls to get some parts mailed to us at their expense. If we had been local I would have said "fix these things and call me when you're done" and I would have driven home and come back when it was ready.
If I was going to do it again I think I would still have done it the same but would have gotten more verbal assurances that there would be a REAL PDI done. Right coach at the right price is hard to beat even if it is from a sloppy dealer.
