mc.cc: good point.
My 4th RV, 2nd new-- Myself and my neighbor went over my new Siesta, top to bottom, operated everything, checked cargo doors to cabinets, came up with an extensive list which the dealer took care of. Still had several minor (drips) leaks in a bunkhouse window, a clearance light, and a PEX connection. Later,a very noticeable leak from a furnace cover with backward louvers that were scoops instead shields. also- I Reported am radio inopp on PDI, tech ordered replacement, I found antenna was not connected.
As with every RV I've owned there are always few nickel dime items on my to do list after each trip.
No matter how thorough the PDI or factory inspection, there are items to show up later. The small leaks appeared after overnight steady rain, the PEX fitting dripped several drops after a few hours pressurized. The furnace cover leaked badly with wind driven rain on that side.
