Welcome aboard! As has been stated, expect the worst, be nicely surprised when/if it doesn’t happen. That was our experience…it can happen. We had a few initial warranty issues but nothing big. I’m also pretty handy and have fixed several things myself, which is fine since I enjoy the project as long as parts are available. There seems to be always be something to fix but that’s just part of owning an RV.

In my way of thinking, as long as the build quality of the rig is sound then the rest is just components not actually built by the OEM…components that are not always (rarely…OK never) top grade and can be prone to failure. So far I’ve had to replace our propane regulator, power supply, and entertainment system. It all works and we thoroughly enjoy camping in our Montana.

Take your time through the PDI…don’t let the dealer rush you. Look at, around, under, over everything. Make sure you know how to operate every component and make sure it works correctly. Some things won’t show up until you use your rig but a good PDI will mitigate some future headaches. Make sure all items you find during the PDI are addressed before you sign and take it away.

All in all the RV life can be very satisfying so be vigilant, get things fixed, move on and enjoy the travels. Good luck
