Shakedown cruise? What the heck is that? Now I have mor research ;-)
Scotty, it's sort of like we used to call a functional check flight in the Air Force when a new aircraft was delivered. You know you are going to have some issues, so take it out for a couple of days, preferably not too far from home base, and run every system to make sure it works right and you know how to use it. Write up, in detail, everything that doesn't work correctly or that you don't fully understand. Then take it home and work with your dealer to get the bugs worked out. When my wife and I did this, we found as many issues with our understanding and learning how to use things as we did issues with the coach. Solving some of the puzzles can be almost as much fun (sometimes frustrating, too) as the actual camping. Don't hesitate to ask questions of the experienced Class A owners on here. I've learned tons from these guys. Happy RVing!!
