Top items to cover during walk through on new TT

Have them demonstrate the manual overrides to all electrically operated components, esp. slides, stabs and tongue jack.

Make sure she gets a packet with all manuals and warranties, they come in handy!

Be sure she know how to operate things, take a note pad, recorder or even video the instructions. if it has a stove how to turn the burners on, winterizing,turn on hot water,if a slide, how to retrieve if no elec & its extended.if it has tv,cd player all remotes are there.recomendations for caring of roof for the type it has. proper tire pressure for its tires,all keys are present and which ones are for which locks.things like these are sometime forgotten because we concentrate on the bigger issues but can be frustrating after we get the new TT home.

Be sure that you can pull out and roll up the awning.

The absolute biggest item is just before the delivery she has the most power and control. All of this is to be done BEFORE the closing and money has changed hands. She should insist that the PDI and walk through are done to her satisfaction and everything, I mean EVERYTHING, is working and all adjustments are correctly done. Again, do this before the closing and money has changed hands. Don't accept, take it and use it and bring it back with a punch list.

There are lists that you can get. Bus basically check EVERYTHING. Lights, slides, water lines, roof, draws, missing screws, window operation, locks, etc. In other-words everything you can possibly think of.

Print this checklist off and add whatever else you're concerned about:

Have it in your mind that you might not be taking it home that day. There is no way i would take a TT home that needs work. On Sun I was looking at some new Arctic Fox units, the salesman could not figure out how to get the pantry rack to slide out, after telling me he had been in the business for 20+years. Sharp as a marble.

Double and triple check that there really is water in the WH. On the PDI on our '07 HTT, that was missed by the dealer and we were newbies and didn't think about it. The dealer did send us a replacement heating element right away, but just one surprise you don't need.

Ask that there is propane available to check those items. She may want to check the price for the dealer to fill the tanks vs having them done elsewhere. The dealer was lots more $$ than our local U-Haul. But surely they have a tank available for PDI.

On the PDI for our new TT we did have lists, but got so out of order that it was hard to keep up. The dealer started on the outside features and we were thinking differently. Suggest the list be done in categories.

Everything!!!!! Run the slides in and out as much as you can.
