No matter if your brand-new motorhome was found on the lot or had to be ordered from the factory, it is essential that you plan to take some time examining your RV before you drive off on any trips or adventures.

Take the time to make sure everything on your new coach is in working order and all of your questions have been answered. You’ll be glad you did. Here is some helpful advice on what to do before you finish taking delivery:

  1. Do not schedule pick up on a day before the dealer will be closed. This way, if fixes need to be made, you wont be waiting several days. This is especially important if you’re taking delivery far from home.
  2. Make sure you receive all documentation and owners materials, as well as serial and model numbers related to your RVs warranties.
  3. Test everything. If you’re unsure of how to operate something, do not hesitate to consult with your sales associate.
  4. Do not leave the dealership until all of your questions have been answered to your satisfaction. A quality dealership will make sure you leave knowing everything you need to know to enjoy your new RV.
  5. Don’t skip the test drive. Make sure you are fully comfortable with how your new coach handles out on the road. New questions will almost certainly arise during your time behind the wheel.
