New member, new TV, and new Montana

[jfaberna]

My wife and I have been shopping and researching RVs since my retirement. Our first decision was to pick a TV and we ordered a RAM 3500 Diesel Dually 4x2. That should be arriving in the next few weeks. Yesterday we finally decided on a 2014 Montana 3402RL that just rolled off the line this week. It's one of the new Oyster color exterior one. We were very close between Montana and Jayco Pinnacle. Both seem well built, but Montana had floor plans we couldn't find on Pinnacle and the price was very, very good for the Montana.

I will be posting questions in this forum to help use get started right. The first will be related to the PDI and walk through. What should I make sure they do or show me? The unit will be picked up where it's cold. The PDI will be inside a shop, so should we hookup all the water and such? I'm guessing I can leave it that way, with the heat on, on the way home, since I will need to overnight before arriving home. I can winterize before parking it at home.

Any help would be appreciated, because it's been 20 years since we've been out RV'ing in a Class C. There's a lot to learn.
