I just bought a 2015 Laredo 297SRE for the DW and was wondering if anyone had one and what problems they had encountered with that model or any other model. I have to drive back to the Dealer for the PDI in a couple of days. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We've got a 2014 329re. Love it so far.

As others have said, don't let them rush ya. Ask questions, take notes and enjoy.

x2. Take plenty of time, 2-3 hours, and video the entire process. You'll forget a lot of the operational stuff as they explain it and manuals are a joke, in most cases. Take a notepad, flashlight with extra batteries. Wear "work clothes" and don't be afraid to crawl under sinks and inside storage areas. Make sure there's propane (at least 1 full tank should be included, if not both), battery(ies) are charged and there's at least a few gallons of fresh water in the tank. There are any number of PDI checklists around, just d/l a couple and come up with your own. If you're not happy with anything, make sure you let them know IN WRITING (keep a copy) and, if it's serious, don't sign the paperwork until it's fixed. If it's minor stuff, either plan on fixing it yourself or, if you can live with it for a while, make a punch list and have them fix them all at a later date.

Something that a fair number of dealers will offer is a night on their lot for you to give it a tryout. You might ask about that.
