Forest River problems!

I'm expecting delivery in March of a Rockwood 2604. These postings are scaring me a little. So can someone offer some positive advice? Is there a good way to check for leaks upon delivery? How do you prevent them? Is it worth it to buy a cover? Are there other things I can do to prevent leaks? I'm a first time RV purchaser so some positive advice would be appreciated.

ask the dealer to do a pressure test. The key is being proative not reactive.

Thanks, sounds like good advice. I will do that!

We towed our 2010 Flagstaff 829fkss 5000 miles last year with a 5.4L f150, 6 full weeks and probably 10 weekenders and had only minor issues with the door handle. Everything else worked perfectly. I did drag my rear jacks getting off a ferry in Nova Scotia and had to get them unstuck. 4400 miles of that was a trip through the Canadian Maritime provences. Fantastic food, great food and hospitality, lots of hills, and the scenery there rivals anyting in the world.. We left from Rochester NY on 9/7 and returned on 10/12.
