Thorough PDI lasting two hours? If a buyer who is new to RVing (perhaps first or second purchase) goes through this process, is that person likely to spot all the issues if they don't know how things are supposed to be fitted or operate? Probably not; perhaps the newbie would be best encouraged to hire a mobile RV mechanic to accompany him through the walk through and explanation. Would it be a good idea for someone to develop a checklist of things to be checked during the PDI such as water heater bypass, manual slide-out operation, operation of the power converter, slide seal user maintenance... in other words, the things we often have new owners ask about on this forum. I have owned quite a few pull trailers and 5vers and find things on each I had no idea about. Since I buy older and used RVs, perhaps some of the things I find are age/wear related but some could apply to a PDI checklist.
