"Dealer prep" simply means the the dealer has to literally finish building the 90% finished junk they toss off the lines. The fact that you drove off with it 3 hours after delivery, is one =huge= alert, right there. From everything I've read, most RVs need at least 1-2 weeks =after= delivery for the dealers to finish "building" them and fix any damage that the delivery drivers may have caused. After that, it's up to the customer to plan on a =minimum= of a 2 hour PDI, and take 3-4 if you feel that's what's needed. Videoing the entire thing can't hurt, either. After that, plan on =another= 1-2 weeks for the dealer to fix the stuff you found, that they missed or simply neglected, after they took delivery. A decent dealer will often allow you to "camp" on their property for a day so you can actually =use= it and get a feel for operating everything, more time to do inspections and come up with any other questions.
