Picking up
Okay the new to u camper has arrived at the dealer. 2021 3761fl Montana. Will be making a trip to the dealer to conduct a PDI on it this weekend. Prior to the pdi I’m going to tell the dealer to make sure they perform all maintenance that should be done. No telling what kind of maintenance the prior owners had done or not done. What I have come up with for now is re pack wheel bearings, wash and treat roof. Check all slide seals and lubricant. Sanitize the fresh water system. What other regular maintenance should I tell them to do?
I will be doing a complete pdi checking that everything works as it should.
I have already informed them whatever is found wrong will be fixed prior to signing any paperwork.

Make sure they grease the wet bolts when they repack. They will clog if not serviced regularly. Have them check the brakes and backing plate nuts if electric. Check all slide adjustments, hot water heater anode, A/C filters, load test batteries if LA, Tires and spare tire pressure, check all silicone around windows etc and a through PDI!

There is a maintenance schedule in the files section.
Torque everything in the suspension system.
Remove, inspect/replace water heater anode rod. Flush the tank.
If you plan on using it sanitize the freshwater system.

Make sure they know you want the bearings and brakes inspected and not just grease squirted in the zerk fittings.

have them check the rear steps to the bedroom, they all seem to have problems with not being installed correctly and squeak/pull away from the bedroom when walked on.

Thanks everyone for the replays. I sent the salesmen a list of what I wanted done prior to my PDI on Saturday. He assured me it would be taken care. We will see we all know how these dealers are. Say a lot that doesn’t get done. Also told him anything wrong will be fixed prior to signing any paperwork.
