Test all the draws and cabinet locks. Fire place lock. Mine is NOT locking. I put a strap to hold it until I get home for better fix. Learn all about the level-up system.

Make sure you look and get on the roof, inspect for any issues you can see. Screws under the rubber roof type thing, poor sealing at any seams. Get on your knees and inspect under for anything loose, damaged, bent or missing. Every single item that should work needs to be tested. Take a wall plug tester and test every outlet. Plug the truck in and check running lights and brakes, before you leave for a return trip.

Yeah - that fireplace thing

And when you head up to the dealer, bring a pool noodle with you, and have velcro straps for once you start loading the cabinets.

Pool noodle, cut a bunch of 6" pieces and put over all the handles between the island and off door slide. That should save you from dents in the freezer drawer and dishwasher.
Our garbage can slide had no catch or self closing glides (it does now)
The dish washer drawer only locks when running, gravity holds it closed when not in use. we have dents from two of the drawers.

Velcro straps for the double cabinet doors. On one of our trips just about every cabinet on the fridge slide opened. Damage and mess.

I also use foam pipe insulation pieces on the bottom door shelfs of the fridge. This keeps the crisper drawer from rubbing against the door when traveling.

On the door slide, open all the overhead cabinets, try not to look surprised when you see a 10' running length of cabinets with no dividers. And while you are looking, leave all those doors up, see how long they will stay open, if they will.

Look under the slides to make sure the weather strip is actually sealing against the bottom of the slide. My entire fridge slide is not sealed with the W/S.

The dark picture - those are not LED's under the slide, that is daylight during sunrise, disappears as the sun rises.

Blue tape every wood putty mark they did not wipe down and the ones that have no putty.

Look to see all doors are adjusted properly.

Look the floor over, I guarantee there are several scratches!

Get on your hands and knees turn out the lights and look under the kitchen/entertainment slide. Most likely there will be daylight streaming thru.

Have them check the plumbing connections, my toilet supply was cross threaded and blew water everywhere. Many of my lines and drains were loose.

Look the paint over, mine had many bad spots and a lot of overspray on roof.

Have them bleed the brake lines and fill to proper level. I guarantee there is air in the lines.

Make sure every single thing works and they have made it clear how they work.

They were VERY lacking with the Decor caulking around the vents and skylight!

Stay in it at the Dealer if possible, if not stay local for a week or two. Hold 10% until the list is COMPLETE!

sunbirds, No I didn't have it weighed yet. After getting home and reading all these things to check I got under both slides. To my surprise the brackets that hold up the slides on the ends, all the bolts were NOT re-tightened after they adjusted the slides. Some were just about ready to fall out and others were finger tight. The adjustment bolt was the only thing that kept the slide from dropping. It was the same for all 4 brackets. I called the factory rep and am sending him a full report which he is going to pass on to DRV. Also told him about the fireplace issue and the draw slides. DRV knows about the fireplace issue but so far NO solution. I know there are solutions to the fireplace not locking but I haven't looked up the threat yet. Walt

As you get used to the new unit, you will find the soft-closing drawer slides will fail--found much better ones from Rockler Woodworking stores. Since replacing the failed ones, one at a time, no more open drawer when traveling--but still use the handle covers. Made them out of 1" vinyl hose cut into 2" sections and sliced lengthways.
Currently at Morryde factory for service--2 new unpainted THs sitting in lot.

wingnut60, I plan to replace the sliders just like you did. I've bought them from Rockler before. Walt

Walt,
It might have been you that mentioned Rockler earlier on a thread about the drawer slides--I didn't come up with them on my own.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe,
It wasn't me but Rockler seems to sell better quality draw slides than Home Depot and Lowes.
Have a nice day!
Walt

Tried both the HD/Lowes products--failed almost immediately.
My problem is the weight in most drawers since we are FT and I may have a dutch oven hiding somewhere in there...

well sure enough both slide nuts were only finger tight . had them bleed the air out of the brakes . adjusted the outside entertainment door clean silicone off the side clean spilled sealant off the roof , fix a leak on the water filter . adjust the front door jam . when plugged in the rear brake lights stayed on . and they forgot to put my dryer vent in so they did it there .. all just miner but I looked it over good . the slides were all sealed good looked under and no light had the wife out with a flashlight and nothing showed thru . thanks everyone for the punch list bathroom turned out good adding the square shower like the 39 rssb to our 36 rssb

sunbirds, If your draws are not closing with the soft closure feature I can tell you how to fix them. I had to fix 5 of them in the vanity. Dealer ordered new sliders but that is not going to fix them. They need to be squared up both up and down and sideways. Once I squared them up they now work. My spare tire was not cranked up all the way. Walt
