I went from a tent trailer to this. The PDI lasted all of 30 minutes
The PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) is done by the mechanic before the RV is presented to the customer. This is when all of these defects should have been discovered by the dealer.
The process where the customer and dealer go through the coach before taking delivery is called the Walk-Through, not a PDI.
Don't confuse semantics. Call it what you want.
A wise owner/buyer will take their time and slowly and methodically check out the entire RV before driving it off the lot.
I agree...our dealer gave us a technician, who was told to stay with us and do nothing else.
He spent 9 hours with us as we simultaneously went through the unit section by section and moved our stuff from one unit to the other. He checked every single water connection, had the basement wall down and checked everything and installed a brass backflow valve on the water heater we had purchased. He repaired every minor problem we found and even moved my stained glass window from one unit to the other for me. Due to this detailed PDI we have had no issues with our rig that could have been found during this process...can't blame anyone for the failed ceiling fan which died several months later...
Needless to say we would definitely buy from this dealer again...this is the way a walk thru/PDI should be performed.
