Let me add to the Delivery checklist. Number one bring a detailed check list - they on the the web. Next take your own test equipment with you of hire a house inspector. Test every electrical outlet with the cheapo home depot outlet testers. Bring a Digital thermometer to test the heat and air coming out all vents INCLUDING The dash board.
My fist RV they went through the walk through, got to the Roof AC turned it on and said SEE IT WORKS, then moved on to other things. First night camping I HAD NO AIR - oh the fan blew, but the AC was dead.
I bought several more RV's and I can tell you that the walk throughs took HOURS to complete and they fixed EVERYTHING before I signed off on the unit.
My $3.00 digital thermometer comes in handy OFTEN. Once I needed the dash AC fixed on a Ford Chassis, the dealer called said "it's fixed" - I sat in the pick up area turned on the AC stuck the thermometer in the vent and the temp coming out was 80 degrees. I called the manager over and said " you call this FIXED" - he was speechless.
I even use it at starbucks. I usually order my coffee at 180 degrees as I like it HOT. One time it just didn't feel HOT. I stuck my digital thermometer in and it read 150. I told the girl it wasn't 180, she looked at me like I was a piece of you know what. She argued YES IT IS. I dropped the digital thermometer in the coffee and it showed 150. I asked her WHAT DOES THAT SAY? - I shut her up and got my new cup at 180.
My point is TRUST NO ONE, do your own due diligence, then you have no one to blame.
LOL. Love it. I haven't used my thermometer thingy on my meter yet but maybe I'll start carrying it with me. :)
Happy trails.
