This is unfortunately true... I say "unfortunately" because so many dealers don't take the time to properly care for models that are on their lots. I've seen dealers move trailers with the slides out, leave slides out for months at a time, open and close slides when the trailers were sitting at odd, obviously "unlevel" positions. Just recently I saw one dealer moving a fifth wheel with a forklift, all the slides were extended, the shore power cord was dragging the ground, all four tires were "almost flat" and the landing gear was sliding along the asphalt in the lot.
I suppose "some dealers" (certainly not all) have the mentality of, "I'm selling it in a month or so and if anything happens, Keystone will pay to fix it, so what do I care if it gets damaged."
I wouldn't do it just because I saw it done on a dealer's lot !!!!! Read the owner's manual and try to look for the rationale behind why the book is written the way it is. There's almost always a reason why things are done a specific way, sometimes not obviously apparent, but still, there's a reason why Keystone recommends things be done a specific way or on a schedule as outlined in the book.....
