Terry; you might want to consider making a condition of purchase having Paul Cross at Indiana Interstate Enterprise perform the PDI.

Many new owners have done this. DRV will either deliver or he will pick it up from the factory and go over the thing with a fine tooth comb. His shop is a scant 20 minutes from the factory.

His relationship with DRV precludes them talking to and fro with any dealer and they basicly rubber stamp any adjusments he demands they reimburse him to make before passing the rig on to the new owner.

If I were purchasing new that would be my first line of defense and then hound the crud out of them, as you describe, with any items that cropped up later.
