Tom is correct on the PDI. It took 4 of us 1-1/2 hours to complete the PDI. I warned the service guy we were going to take a couple of hours on the PDI and told him we'll yell when we're done. We generated a list for him and it took 2 techs, 4 hours to repair it all.

We found things like leaky faucet connections to wood chips blocking the sewer gate, tears in the rubber roof to drawers that wouldn't close, etc, etc, etc.

A couple of other things have shown up since camping in it for a month, but nothing nothing major or that was in the PDI. Definately a must-do.
