Do yourself a BIG favor....take the advice on checklists and USE them. GO to the dealership and take delivery there....learn all you can...We bought a 5er and had it deivered to N GA mountains home RV base because we had no hauler at the time. Delivery took place in the midst of the worst rain storm to hit the area in years. Short changed ourselves on inspection and information.
Had an electrical short which took a lot of haggling with the factory to finally get a partial refund. Cable port is still "dead"..

If I had it to do over, even without a tow vehicle; would have made a return trip to the dealer and completed a thorough, comprehensive; detailed; working knowledge of everything in that RV BEFORE I wrote the check...no turning back once the cash changes hands. My dealership was only responsive on wanting an excellent survey rating (not)...I have YET to EVER receive a return call from them.....it's been 8 months now....I think you get the message....
