We used the PDI Checklist found here and our own experience in having owned 4 campers prior to or first 5th wheel. We gave our dealer a copy of the PDI prior to delivery . Went back when they said it was ready. Still found some unacceptable items and left them to be repaired. When we returned the unit was perfect and we drove it off the lot with not a single problem that we could see. Made no difference less than 6 months later it burst into flames in Quartzsite due to sloppy routing of electrical lines and hydraulic lines which we could not see. Many other minor problems followed. We did use it hard and covered many miles on all kinds of roads. A perfect PDI will not guarantee a trouble free unit but it will pick up the poor build issues from the fact ory.... Take your time . Do not be in a rush.It took over two weeks before we were able to pick up our Montana and we had over 8 hours of personal PDI t. ime involved.
