My new 2022 303RLS

[Rgpracer]

I put a deposit on a new 2022 Reflection 303RLS today.....while driving highway 2 in Minnesota....pulling my 230RL....lol, funny how things happen.

I'll be picking it up next week......ok, i have a few quick question of you GD owners that have bought brand new campers before, especially the Reflection 303rls I have not bought brand new so, other than what they are going to show me on the "walk through", what items in particular do i need to look for/inspect/be aware of that they might or might not show me?
I've bought new vehicles before and know quite a bit about mechanical issues, but know nothing other than what the salesman/service guy will show me.

Thanks all.

PDI, PDI, PDI! Do a Pre-delivery Inspection BEFORE you sign anything, and have them fix the issue before you sign anything as well!

Other than that, the walkthrough is to "familiarize" the customer with the coach, and everything in it. To me, is more of a "here's how you turn everything on, here's how you turn everything off, here's how you open the doors/slides/awning, here's how you open the sleeper sofa"... Almost like a dog and pony show.

EDIT: congratulations, by the way!

Google "RV pre-delivery inspection checklist" and download one. There quite a few out there. I downloaded one and printed it out for the couple who bought our Reflection and it was pretty comprehensive. It had a section for motorhome stuff, but also had all the items for towables, too.

I have a post I started that I attached a pretty comprehensive PDI to. Just search for posts started by me.

I looked under your name, saw a few post, none relevant to a checklist.

Not so much on this forum, but out on the Facebook, there are so many people complaining about issues with their new RV. I look at the issue and think to myself (and want to type it in BOLD), why wasn't that caught in the PDI? Don't be one of those people

Make sure you check everything. When you check the hot water, check it at every sink and shower. While there, look under every sink for leaks. When you turn on AC or heat, check for air flow at every outlet, not just one. If the fridge is 12V and propane, fire it up on both. This one is tough as it takes so long to cool down. Good to do this first and let it run during the entire PDI. Open every drawer and cabinet. Check for fit and finish. Open and close every exterior storage compartment. Check for evidence of leaks. If any are pass-through, close one and look from the other side to see if any light leakage. Look underneath. Check how well the underbelly is covered. Make sure the edges of the underbelly are sufficiently secured under trim if installed like that. Take video or at least pictures during the PDI.

Great advice Capt, this being our first "new" camper, just don't know what to expect. I have worked PD in aerospace and have been with customers doing PDI's on business jets, and also am mechanically inclined, so all should go well.....creeper.....hmmmm, they should have a creeper, maybe i should take mine.
Thanks again.
