Well tomorrow is the big day, we do our PDI inspection before paying for it. Any major or minor things that I should watch for. Already heard about SAT hookups and am bring my box and antenna with us to check on.
Thanks in advance

Air Conditioning not cooling below 9 degrees from outside temp.
check the rear roof to see where the condensation drips down.
Shades and windows
Flame adjustments of WH and Furnace
Leaks in the grey plumbing
dump valves labelled backwards
get all the manuals and warranty sheets
door trim and fit.
Those were my issues.

Follow the PDI checklist re this forum. Would park on dealer site overnight
and exercise everything before pulling out. Take your time.

Besides the checklist look at everything. We happened to notice a cracked landing gear leg while doing ours.

Congratulations on the new trailer from Southern California. I have had mine for over a year now without any major issues, but i also don't get to use it as much as i'd like to. main thing is take your time on the walk through and get all the manual's as it's a lot of info to take in all at once, at least it was for me. i think the only thing i have had issues with so far was some thin trim pieces that i had to glue down. Safe and Happy travels.

We bought our Montana in Florida and obviously it had never been winterized. First winter in Michigan I fought with the water pump for hours trying to get it to take the antifreeze before I unhooked everything and found the pump was installed backwards. The in line was the out and the out line was the in. Other than that no problems with it at all, ever. Happy Trails, Steve and Susie
