Hello Just Joined this Forum
Good evening my fellow Grand Design owners. My wife and I just purchased a 2021 Transcend Explorer 245 RL at the Tampa Florida Super Show.
Well like most people buying these days we are waiting 4 to 6 weeks for delivery of are new unit. We hope to do a 6 month trip this year through out the lower 48 states. Any problems we should look for in the model we choose would be helpful. Thanks for having us in the forum.

Just do your walk around when you pick it up and take your time
Make sure everything works

Welcome to the group. Like @NB Canada said take your time and make sure everything works. Do your PDI before signing that final paper and handing over the check. Go up on the roof and below the rig. Open every light and drawer. Ask any question that comes up. If you find something point it out. If its major, refuse deliver. We only had a few minor items which they immediately ordered through warranty. We did take delivery and went back for the fix. If you do a search on here, some members have put together a very detailed check list. Plan for a couple of hours.
There should be water in the fresh tank, I recommend emptying it when leaving the dealer and hitting the nearest CAT scales to get you true numbers. This will tell you where you stand weight wise.

Thanks for your suggestions. We bought a new Montana 3700RL at The Hersey Show in 2012 from Campers World in Churchville NY
not only did we get to do a thoroughly overall inspection we got to spend the night on the lot. This GD Transcend 245 RL we have bought through General RV
Jacksonville FL. After a good walk through hopefully with electric, water, propane on we can find a campground nearby spend a few days
a make a list of any problems.

Yes an overnight is a great thing to do
Our 2014 we bought in Greencastle PA. They have a campground there but we already had reservations in Gettysburg. This was at the end of June
The GD I picked up Nov 28. It was freezing and couldn’t really test much with the trailer
They offer to stay there in their campground as well and if it was open I would have done that
Great way to shake it out with the service dept next door
