Part of that plan is doing the PDI and staying overnight in the coach at the dealership and not leaving until they fix anything we ask for. We have experience hauling and traveling with a TT -- but only a little in a motorhome, and definitely not this big. So, my question is -- if this were you, what's on your "must" list for doing the PDI and doing a medium haul in a brand-new-nothing-in-it coach? I have a lot of applicable stuff at home, but are limited by airline luggage space/weight. We also do have AAA Premium for emergencies.

My "bring" list so far:
  • A very basic tool kit: couple adjustable wrenches, pliers, electric screwdriver w/bit kit
  • High PSI tire gauge
  • Gloves
  • Blue masking tape (for marking during PDI)
  • Notebook
  • Flashlight
  • Inspection mirror
The "purchase when we get there" list:
  • Extension cord
  • Sewer hose
  • Bedding
  • Plastic stool for us vertically-challenged folks
  • Paper towels, TP, & soap
  • Single malt scotch (for after a full day of driving)
Anything I'm forgetting?
As long as you have the Single malt scotch - it will make everything else better..

There are some good PDI lists on here - do a quick search - I don't have the direct links.
The better the PDI, the less 'stuff' you will need to get home - so take your time and ask questions... Plan hours not minutes.

You will want a drinking water hose if you will connect to city water in route - or to use with bleach in sanitizing the on board water tank before using that... or just buy bottled water and take care of it when you get home.

I'm sure others will add more.
