New 3582 Big Sky PDI Questions

Big day here at last. Closed on our new 3582 yesterday afternoon and moved in. We are staying on the Tiara RV lot in Elkhart for a day or two. PDI went VERY well. We are quite pleased and of course overwelmed with "tucking in". Staff here did an outstanding job of a walkthrough. Took nearly 6 hours yesterday and were very patient with us.

The only thing I have found so far has to do with staple holes not putteyed in most of the cabinetry. Is it fair to ask the dealer to putty all the staple holes that are just inside the front lip of all the cabinets?

We asked for separate washer/dryer but they installed a combo unit. They were more than willing to swap out but after looking at the storage and shelves she would be giving up DW chose to keep it.
Thanks!

Robert, Tiara is a good bunch of folks! Both units we have owned came from there. Mainly because, they are just across town.

Congratulations on your new unit. We have the combo unit because we don't have the space for both in our floor plan. Took a little getting used to. That little sucker can get hotter than you would think and it would have helped if I had read the instruction book all the way thru. Now that I'm used to it I like it and I'm sure your wife will also.

(most of our staple holes on our 13 3402 big sky were not filled in..have them do it>)
Check for the sat and cable connections wired right or installed right)
(check the propane regulator fpor proper operation)

Congrats on the new rig and the excellent PDI! You did much better then us. Ours was an hour long and the entire dealership and all of our friends thought we were insane! Have fun. I envy your wife...I want the combo unit. Did you get the Splendide ventless?
