PDI...Do it regardless of what the dealer might say...Sign nothing until you do...
Request the entire PDI be recorded and put to a DVD and keep it in the trailer for future reference...
BEFORE you go to the dealer request 2 FULL propane tanks that you should get anyway. Access to electric power, a battery installed and water in the fresh tank...
Operate EVERYTHING including every light switch, every faucet, shower, toilet etc...Open and close all slides and the awning...Extend and retract all stabilizer jacks and the tongue jack...
TAKE A METER with you to check the operation of the Converter...Across the battery terminals should be right near 13.6V with the battery disconnect switch in the right position...It will DROP when you open the disconnect switch...DO IT or you won't know if that Converter is working...
Have them show you how to bypass the HWH and how to use the Pump to winterize...
Operate the HWH in both Electric AND on Propane...MAKE them operate the fridge on Electric and then trip it so it converts to Propane...
Use the outside shower...Operate the tank valves and low water point drains when you're finished...
Make a LIST before you go...There's alot to do and you will MISS something without a list...
