I agree with all these guys about trying every system, every single one, to make sure it works! Just having them tell you how it's supposed to work does not mean anyone has checked to make sure it actually works! Every possible combination of things on the electronics. Water pump, all the faucets and shower fixtures and assembly for leaks. Connect city water and do it again. All radio and camera functions. Dump valves for leaks and use of. Try the water heater for function on propane AND electric! This is very often a failure missed at delivery. All lights, every single one. Test the trailer wiring connector for function. Exhaust fans. Door and drawer closing and latches. External speakers, do they both work? Does the external tv play through them? Generator starts and runs under all the load you can apply. Starts and runs while you are driving so you can use the house ac. You will need this in summer in the southwest for people not riding in the cockpit. What works on the inverter and what doesn't, does everything it is supposed power actually work? Heater, AC air output temperature. Leveling system if you have one. Awning operating and outside lights. Do not fall for the " just go use it and make a hit list for us to fix" You won't even be in the same state as the dealer. Drive it hard and on the freeways BEFORE starting delivery paperwork. Tire vibrations? Alignment issues? DO NOT LEAVE THE LOT UNTIL EVERY LITTLE THING AND BIG THING IS WORKING! Test absolutely everything! Even test how easy or time consuming it is to fuel. Fill the tanks with water and check the indicators. Are you familiar with how to check engine fluid levels and tire pressures on this unit? Make sure you have a good pressure gage as you should check all the tires before setting out and at least every other fuel stop.
