Do dealers get paid from factory for PDI time?
I was out trying to make to make a deal on a 5th wheel and salesmen was trying to include a fee for the PDI. We didn't make the deal price was too high besides the PDI fee.

PDI and the walk-thru are different things.
My dealer budgets 8 hours of a technician's time for the PDI on a TT.
The salesperson does the walk-thru with the customer.
Many, many, many times the complaints I read on here about quality problems on new RVs are things that should have been corrected in the PDI. Some dealers shortchange the customer by hoping nothing is wrong and figuring they will deal with it if/when the customer returns with complaints.
My dealer told me that no RVs leave their shop without at least one warranty issue found during the PDI and before delivery to the customer.
