I was told by a CW employee that dealers receive a PDI credit from all RV manufacturers for each and every new RV on their lot. Said it starts at a couple hundred bucks for basic models like pop ups to several thousand for high end class A's. This allowance is provided for the dealer to clean and go tthrough each unit and fix all things the factory did wrong during the quick assembly.
A good dealer will spend the time and actually fix things like cabinet doors and drawers out of alignment, poor caulking, sawdust in ductwork, etc before the buyer even picks it up. Other dealers pocket the $ and hope that the buyer fixes minor things themselves or bring it back under warranty (hence double dipping). Crooked dealers pocket the credit and then charge buyers a large fee for PDI.
