Ah, i think I read somewhere about that place... that they encourage or require you to stay the first night there as a shakedown. I think that sounds great, in theory anyway!

A couple more suggestions....
Somebody else suggested to me to search for recall notices. You can search online if you have the VIN. I picked that up on another forum the saturday morning I was leaving to pick mine up. Searched it and sure enough there was a recall on the awning that came up. Of course on a Saturday the dealer couldn't call the awning manufacturer to find out about it so we had to defer that to me. Luckily enough, when I called the following weak, I was able to determine that the recal had been taken care of the the Thor factory.

The other thing..... if this is an inventory unit part of me would suggest asking them to not plug the unit in or start anything for at least the day of your arrival. Of course you want it all freshly detailed and teh red carpet rolled out with AC blasting cold.... but that can serve to mask things.....If it's a factory order, i suppose it wouldn't matter much though....This was another tip I picked up and wish that I would have done. When i showed up for the PDI ( I bought mine remotely too....) they had it parked at their inspection area with the red carpet rolled out and all dolled up with a fresh detail job. Well since it was plugged in, I couldn't properly check the house battery, which in fact turned out to be bad.... wouldn't hold a charge. Those things get abused siting on a dealers lot.
The other point of the untouched inspection is that with whatever protectant or spray on wax thy put on it, I couldn't see the fading of the finish near the top untill a couple rains and a week or two later. (mine had been on the delaer's lot for around 1-1-/2 years)
