New Magnitude BT36?

[Pepperpod]

Hi there - first time posting!
I’m scheduled to pick up our new 2022 BT36 next week, but after reading thousands of reviews, I’m having some pre purchase anxiety. Am I doing the right thing? I love the f600, and the floor plan is great. To be honest I’m nervous that I’ll spend 200k on an RV that spends more time in the shop than on the road.
Is there a pre delivery inspection checklist I could use to avoid some initial issues? Any issues that I can look for that the dealership may not cover or even try to avoid showing me? I will have the inspection video taped for future reference.
Any advice would be appreciated.

While going through the pre delivery inspection, make sure you try out every system multiple times with the dealer present. The slides, water pump, heater, air conditioner, all electrical lights... You also need to check the drawers and doors for proper alignment. Check all of the exterior compartments/doors and all electrical outlets. Take an outlet tester with you to be sure things are wired correctly. If you find anything wrong, have it noted and repaired. You may have to have them schedule a repair date but document everything. It is a big investment and you need to take your time.

Good Luck
Paul

And remember...most of what you'll read on the forums (any manufacturer) are from people with issues and looking for help. The vast majority are having a blast with few if any issues...Go for it...it's a powerhouse and built quite well!

Rvchecklist is an app.

If you find anything wrong walk away and tell them to call you when the rig is ready for prime. If you sign for it the problems are then yours and good luck.

Good idea, we’ll do that as we have a month before our first scheduled trip. Thanks
