Also, on the day you take delivery, be sure you are fully rested from your drive and alert. My wife and I made a cannonball run from So Cal up to Portland OR. and although we did rest a little, I was a little weary and didn't pay as close attention as I should have. They rushed us through the PDI. The tech was walking and talking us through so quickly, he mentioned that our camper had been used as a demo. It didn't register in my mind til we were long gone. That was on me. Should have known had I been a little more "with it". It made sense after leaving and upon closer inspection, why the bath door needed to be replaced while we were at the dealer. There was nice gouge in it. None of the cabinet hanging brochures were present. I found dirt in places there should be no dirt in a brand new camper. Small scratches and scuffs here and there. We both just got the general feeling the camper had been used. Lightly used, but still used. Another reason to order a custom built unit from the factory. You don't have to worry about anyone else's greasy paws touching it.
For what it's worth, We contacted every dealer in the west who carried our camper and the dealer in Portland was the best price by far. So even with him jacking with the price, I still came out ahead. Toms Campers was one of highest quotes we got. They wouldn't even budge.
