Wow. I am shocked by what you are saying. Only some of the units go through the PDI. I have a FR class C (Sunseeker). I thought that all the units go through the PDI.

I'm unsure if all FR brands are this way, but it sounds pretty consistent in the RV industry. I'm not sure, though.

I found a tour pictorial of Flagstaff's plant, and the blogger stated that all units there go through PDI and they have a separate facility for warranty and/or repairs. He also stated that pressure tests are performed for plumbing as well as the windows being leak tested.

I remember taking to a sales manager at Sabre when we were buying. He said all of the units go to a rain booth. I didn't know then to ask about other things.

I just looked at my Sunseeker brochure. There's a spot on the back talking about the PDI. It ends with "in every unit built".

The factory told our dealer that they were back logged because of the weather. We can wait a few more days to get it down here in one piece.

I still have to take the camper out and camp in it a while- but my camper came home today via delivery driver. I'm hopeful that this is the end of my story.
Delivery driver with camper:
Camper parked at home:
Had to move a bunch of snow to get it parked out front. Poor delivery driver had no idea how difficult it is to park on our street with the curve of the road.

Looks like its ready Hitch up and go somewhere this weekend!! Looking good there, hope that everything is running tip top now.
We do have several provincial parks open year round with services so it is possible, if we didn't have all this ice last night..

I saw a lot of campers at the factory and really just can't see anything that I like better than what we have. The platinum option is nice, just not the same. Plus, I like my more rounded front-cap that it looks like the tide is swinging back to.

I'll say! It was a nice truck- 400,000+ miles on it, he said.
So, random question - say he pulled it back without a battery. Is that only used for the emergency breakaway? Or does that help the brakes while hooked into the 7-pin?

If he pulled it W/O a Batt.he was breaking the Law! Youroo!! It has nothing to do with (normal braking).

If the trailer already had a battery installed he was ok. When the trailers are shipped from the plant as brand new, they do not have battery installed. It is a dealer installed item, so the new trailer delivery guys HAVE to have a battery while transporting.

400,000 miles? Yikes. What did the driver say about pulling stuff for a living?

This driver said it was a part time gig for him. He works 7 days on/7 days off on his other job.
All 4 drivers have all said that they enjoy the life. Two drivers now have said that they've been to all 49 states. All 4 have had beds built in place of their back seat.
