Pre-Delivery Plus RV System Evaluation Service
Pre-Delivery Plus
$495
This package is recommended for new travel trailers only. Pre-Delivery Plus is a budget-oriented functional evaluation of an RV’s basic components. Customers who select this option are aware that manufacturer and dealership Pre-Delivery Inspections (“PDI’s”) are at best a short walkthrough to look for the most obvious problems. At worst, a PDI is not performed at all.
The truth is a PDI is not an inspection at all and this explains why so many post purchase RV’s are sitting outside of dealership service departments. There had to be a better option, which is why we created the Pre-Delivery Plus package. The benefit is you get an extended independent evaluation by a professional inspector that takes up to four hours to complete.
The Pre-Delivery Plus Evaluation is not a full or certified inspection. Instead, this evaluation is designed as an enhanced PDI with the goal of identifying common issues that sellers don’t often catch.
Consider the Pre-Delivery Plus evaluation the first line of defense against purchasing a travel trailer that might have hidden and costly problems.
Pre-Delivery Plus evaluations are up to four hours long.
