Safety questions.....co alarm ,even if it tests OK and/or if no paper work when you bought, unscrew alarm mounting screws and remove unit and look on back for manufacture date. They should be replaced if over 5 yrs old. Other alarms change the batteries or replace. Check dates on tires for age. I don't go over 5 yrs. Some people say OK to go 7 years. Most RV's put tires to max performance so I don't want to go over 5 yrs old.
Fire extinguisher?
One of the biggest safety concerns IMO is driving your RV. They don't stop on a dime, you must allow a lot more stopping distance. People drive RV's like they normally drive their cars because that is what they are used to. There is a big difference in your 4,000 pound car and a 10,000 pound rv when you have to stop quick.
The generator...I don't see how the dealer could sell you for that price. Have you looked up the price of them? Google up what they cost. I see $2,500 plus. My first thought being a sceptic is the dealer took it out and is now going to sell it back again. I would make sure it is new. Maybe just me? If that is the case, it wouldn't kill the deal, but I would conceder getting a portable Honda 2000. Should be big enough 2 power what you have (using it smartly)and lot better on gas.
I use ours for back up at home for frig and heater and a few lights when needed.
No... on second thought if the dealer was trying to sell me the generator back that came out of it, I would trash the deal. That would be an indicator of what type of dealer he is. IMO
My 2 cents
