PDI = Pre-delivery Inspection? If so, then the answer is yes. Well, actually, they referred to it as an "orientation session".
These are two totally different things. The PDI is what the dealer is paid for going over the unit and making adjustments...ordering parts to make pre-delivery repairs etc. The orientation session is where the dealer walks you through the unit and explains/shows you where things are and how to operate them and answer questions. I have owned rv's since 1983 and every time I purchase one the dealers insist I do a walk thru with them. Then again I am lucky I have dealt with 4 great dealers...but some better then others at that.
Until recently, all discussions of PDI in this forum have always related to the walk through that you make prior to delivery to see how systems work, any fix ups that are required, etc.
only recently has the intent changed to that as you described, without the purchaser present. I would call that dealer prep myself.
