Topic: Picking up our RP189 on Friday Posted: 26 Mar 2018 at 8:51pm |
We're picking up our RP189 this Friday. I can't believe the day is finally here. I wanted to create a list of everything I should check out while going over everything. Can you experienced folks give me some pointers for my list? Thanks everyone.

Welcome!
Take time to check out the mods posted on the forum. I've used several of them.

When the tech is showing you everything on the trailer, it is very overwhelming. I tried to write it all down and when I got home, I had many, many questions. Do the best you can to remember things during the "run-down", then get on the best forum (this one) and do research. Chances are, you'll have the same questions someone else has had. If you can't find it, ask questions. The trailer "systems" is where you will have the most questions: electrical, water supply, black/grey water tanks.

If you have a smart phone try doing a short video on the tech demonstration, they will be throwing a ton of info at you, probably wont remember it all.

On the Rpod FB site, I found a Forest River dealer PDI checklist. It looks to be the checklist the dealers are to fill out and send to Forest River. I'll post it when I figure out how.

Leo hit it square on. Record the presentation with the device you are comfortable with. Make sure your battery is 'full'. Welcome aboard to this fantastic forum!

+1 on Leo's idea. I'd video all you can as they do the walk through, and especially if you are getting a Weight Distribution Hitch, record them hooking it up for you. Congrats and welcome to the RPod family. ~PP

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I plan to video as much as I can and my wife is a great note taker so hopefully we'll capture most of what is said. As for the WDH, I'll be installing that myself right after taking possession of the camper. I'll post a picture as soon as I can.
