Walk Through Checklist

I don't have a delivery date yet for our new Rockwood 2604WS that is on order from the factory. When we ordered it, the sales consultant told me we should have a definite date within two to three weeks.  It's been two weeks, so hopefully within the next week or so!  Right now, we expect delivery sometime in late June or early July.

In anticipation of our upcoming trip to Ohio to pick up the new unit, I've created a checklist for our walk through of the trailer.  When we bought our first TT (Dutchman Kodiak) we had a very thorough and extensive walk through. When we bought the RPod, not so much.  The folks at RV Wholesalers are going to have to give us a thorough one.  This is a major purchase and I won't be leaving until I get it.  Someone suggested asking them if it'd be OK to video the walk through, which I think is an excellent idea.  (Note to self, pack the GoPro).

Keep in mind this list is specific to our unit and the options that we selected. Nonetheless, I thought this might be helpful to someone else to customize for their specific unit. This would apply to a new or used travel trailer.  Obviously, a motorcoach of some type would involve a lot of other things to check out.

Here's my list for the Rockwood 2604WS.  Does anyone see anything that I'm missing?
