The PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) is done by the mechanic before the RV is presented to the customer. This is when all of these defects should have been discovered by the dealer.
The process where the customer and dealer go through the coach before taking delivery is called the Walk-Through, not a PDI.
Don't confuse semantics. Call it what you want.
A wise owner/buyer will take their time and slowly and methodically check out the entire RV before driving it off the lot.

In all fairness, you set the pace of the PDI not the dealer/salesman. The dealer walks you through the operation of everything, but it is the responsibility of a prudent buyer to careful operate and inspect all systems prior to accepting the unit. A thorough inspection includes filling the tank with water and operating all water systems. On my list this is one of the most important checks because I want to make sure nothing leaks prior to me accepting and signing the paperwork.

I bought a 2014 Dutchmen Denali 3371BH Trail Edition. STUFF CUT:
Many of the problems were the norm. We expected a few bugs. Not a whole colony of them. I have to give Dutchmen a thumbs down. Many people don't have problems, but we sure got their portion of them. Last time we buy Dutchmen.

We just purchased a Keystone Cougar and this thread is scaring me a little bit. It is our first new RV purchase. I've read enough on here that I know there will be issues within the first year. I feel confident in the dealer we purchased from and I think that will make a world of difference when we need to have warranty work done.
