"True or not true, I don't know, but one of our neighbors in the park was the General Manager of Bales RV dealership down here for ten years, and he told me, pretty much an industry standard, that when a dealership takes delivery of a rig, they get $750 from the manufacturer for PDI and any repairs required. If they do nothing, they keep the $750, and then when the owner discovers issues, it is handled under warranty, so the dealer gets to double dip. Maybe someone on the forum knows for sure if that is actually the case."

Mike, if that is true, and it probably is, then Keystone and all the others need to change the $750 fee! If I am a large RV dealer, especially in the recent lean sales years, I would be tempted to take delivery of 100 new units and not touch them and pocket the $75,000.
