Congrats on the new rig. We have the same one. We're anxiously waiting to take it out camping for the first time on the 16th.

I am no profesional but I am fairly knowledgable and live close to you. If you have any questions on how a system operates I would happily try and help you out.

Thank you, my concern is not so much how to operate systems as that everything is as it should be for a new RV. We had a bad experience with our last RV. 22 days old had a problem and the dealer never fixed it to our satisfaction, continued to have problems until we fixed it ourselves.

You truly are not an RVer if you are not fixing things. Your PDI is the most important thing you and your dealer can do together. A though PDI and few items found tells me the dealer has truly prepped the RV for delivery. If the dealer misses a couple of little things (nicks, screws loose, dust/dirt) make note and move on but when you find bigger issues then they didn't take the time to prep it. The dealer gets paid by the factory for each unit prepped for delivery. How they spend that money says volumes about the dealer.

Pre Delivery Inspection.

This is an inspection / walk through to verify that all systems are working and all items are a should be.

Should be done on both New and used units BEFORE the money changes hands and any commitment is signed.

Here is a good PDI

The dealer should allow you to hire someone to do the PDI with you. I assume that you are new to RVing, and feel uncomfortable doing your self.
Find an independent RV tech, many will state that they do PDIs, they should give you an unbiased opinion of the RV.

Don't worry too much about it. Learn how everything works during the PDI. If you miss a couple things that's why you have a warranty. No matter how thorough you are there is almost always something you miss. Start a list of things that need attention when you take it out the first few times. Either fix them yourself or bring it to the dealer and get it taken care of. There won't be much if anything wrong with it when you pick it up so just enjoy it.

You can download a copy of a PDI, and do it yourself. That way you know where everything is at and how they work. Don't depend on someone else to know how your RV works.
