Gonna bring home new 5er, got inspection questions

[Chuckdog]

We will be signing paperwork on our new Sabre 34 TBOK on Monday night. We are having a morryde pinbox installed right away so we probably won't be bringing it home on Monday.

This is our first new fifth wheel purchase. What is the standard procedure when picking up a new Fifth wheel and going over it and checking things over. They had an open house today and they were very busy so I just walked around the outside of our camper to look things over. There was a few nicks in the paint on the bike rack on the back and I did notice a few questionable caulk areas on the sides of the camper.

Just wanted to see how picky we should be before we take things home.

Picky......very, Very, VERY

Take video, pictures, write down all problems
Test EVERYTHING ........have them put water in fresh water tank (then winterize afterwards)run the pump, fill water heater fire it up (electric& gas) run the furnace (get it warm enough to run A/C Unit) turn on fridge swap it back and forth electric to gas, check the faucets, toilet, run the slides in/out, check interior fit/finish, stomp on the floors, check cabinets, open windows run the landing gear up/down, rear stabilizers, check compartment doors.

In other wards.........spend about 2-3 hrs going over EVERYTHING
And yes they should have AC power, batteries charged, propane so that ALL systems can be checked.
NOW is the time to do a complete, thorough inspection.


AFTER the PDI....that is when you sign papers. AFTER!

Here is a PDI from the 'RVing FAQ' Section.......LINK
