Did you get inside the shower and spray water on the inside shower doors to make sure there were no leaks outside of the shower during your PDI? Another question, did you inspect each of the clearance lights above the front windshield to make sure they were caulked appropriately during your PDI? I did the walk through very thoroughly. I took 2 plus hours to perform this. This including getting underneath the rig, on top of the rig and inspecting every gadget to make sure it worked before taking delivery. Now that we have that cleared up, there are items that need to be inspected thoroughly after bringing the rig home, and seals are one of them.
It's really better catching those things before taking delivery. A proper PDI should have been done by you, then have the dealer fix those things before the transaction finalizes.
I all purchaser's looked at a new purchase as you do, there would be far fewer complaints on this forum. Trouble is they want their rig to be perfect but are unwilling to put out any effort to make it that way. I venture to say this unit will be in much better shape 3 yrs. down the road than most.
