Delivery Checklist

In preparation of taking delivery of our new Roadtrek I made a checklist of all of the items we had to be sure to learn about from the dealer when we pick up the RV. I know that the dealer has his own review of all of the systems, but I felt that it was best to have a list to check off each thing that he tells us about and then look to see what he may not have mentioned that we need to be sure to know. For those who have owned RVs before this list is probably basic and things that you already know how to do, but for those of us first time RV owners these are the things are essential to find out about. In creating this list I went through every system that I can think of that is contained inside and outside of the Roadtrek. I have not included the basic vehicle operation but you may want to make your own list for that as well. That part should be pretty much like taking delivery on any new car.

I share this list with all of you first timers. Feel free to copy and use it.
