Dealer walk-through/ R-Pod inspection

Specifically to your questions. I would definitely want to see the fresh water system (tank, pump, HW, toilette, shower and sinks) all operational. Tip - ask to walkthrough propane system first. That way, water heater should be demonstrated and hot water produced and fridge begin cooling (propane mode). Fridge takes a few hours to get cold so you probably won't really be able to test unless you ask day before to turn it on. No, you won't be able to test all three fridge modes during walkthrough but if it's cooling on propane, I'd be happy to leave the lot.

You may consider asking before you arrive what you wish to have explained/demonstrated. That may help with expectations on both parts. My walkthrough was very thorough and included all the systems including winterizing, manual slide out function, water pump filter, dinette conversion, toilette flushing, wdh, brake controller, etc. It seems, unfortunately, that walkthrough was an exception.

If you don't expect to get a thorough walkthrough, perhaps you can find a campground close to your dealer and spend a few hours with your new Pod going through your checklist. You won't catch everything, but might save you a long drive back to the dealer.

Congrats! We love our 178.

I also agree with Fred. Our walk through was very thorough. We got all that Fred mentions including lighting both burners on the stove, heating up the water heater, running the water pump and so on.

At the very end they went through connecting/disconnecting the WDH, and setting the gain on the brake controller. All in all, we felt pretty informed.

I wish we had video'd it.
