Critical point: (We've seen many threads about this over the years.) Make double, double sure that the tech shows you ALL of the dump handles for both black and gray water. Make sure he/she reviews waste water dumping procedures with you. Even though you have had other trailers, that elusive third dump handle seems to be a puzzler for many owners. Know where your tanks are and where the low point and fresh water drains are located.
The location and access to the water pump is important along with winterizing. If your unit has the winterizing valve and suction hose for the antifreeze, know where it is, how to get to it, and how to use it.
Make sure you are comfortable with manual operation of the landing gear and slides before the PDI is completed.
I've owned TT's since the mid-1970's, so when we did the PDI on the Cougar, I asked the tech to allow me to let him know when we came to an item that I was not familiar with. That way he could spend extra time on the new things, and shorten up the time on features that we were already familiar with. Since it was my first rig with slides and my first fiver, we spent a lot of time on those aspects of the PDI and less time on items like the stove and fridge that are identical to the ones in our previous TT.
Probably the only "model specific" items you'll encounter will be the ;exact location of various items throughout the trailer.
There are many other threads on PDI's on here that are worth reading.

The tires, like the appliances and many other items in the trailer, should all have full manufacturer's warranties if you are purchasing a new unit. If it is a used trailer more than a year or two old, those warranties have likely expired so it will be caveat emptor all the way.
