PDI for leftover CL campers

nhlakes- see my comment on the roof vents thread about installing roof vent covers over the OEM vent fans.

Did the PDI on the CL21RBS yesterday.  That PDI checklist posted earlier along with comments here were very helpful. Moore Custom Trailers in Nappanee IN had the trailer inside and were fine with leaving me alone for about 3 hours as I crawled on the roof, underneath, and going over things inside and out. Needed that much time to go through it thoroughly, heat water in micro, preheat convection, tested fridge, stovetop, AC and furnace, check all plumbing and cabinetry, etc... Found a few things that they'll address prior to us picking it up on Friday. 

Now working in Chicago for a few days (combined the pickup with a work trip) before my wife flies in Thu and we'll pick it up and head south on Fri.  Unfortunately temps will have us leave with it re-winterized and will likely have to dry camp for the first couple of days until we find warmer temps.

Sounds like you did a good job on the PDI. With the blast of winter this week, I hope it isn't too far south before you can add water. I have heard good things about Moore Custom Trailers. They seem to be one of the few places willing to order parts for LL campers. Let us know how the shakedown cruise goes!

Thanks, I spoke with the owner at Moore and mentioned my concern with local support when I get it back home.  He said he'd help make sure that I got the support I needed.  Seemed like a straight up guy.

Yea, this cold snap sucks.  Best not to plan a camping trip the same time as us.  In early Jan we did a 2 week trip to FL and it was in the 30's in northern FL...    I suspect we'll cut this trip shorter than planned - not enough time to get south enough to warm temps then back north.

To summarize, arrived at Moore's last Monday to see the CL21RBS for the first time.  They allowed me to do my detailed PDI all by myself.  Spent 3 hours crawling under, on top, around, and through camper.  Checked all systems, found several issues, then went to work in Chicago for a few days.  I had my wife fly in to meet me on Thur and we went to pick it up on Fri.  They had replaced the converter, repaired some wiring, replaced a light, adjusted the front door and overall made me feel very good about the deal I was getting. 

My wife and I then spent the next 4 days dry camping (with power) in State Parks on the way home (left it winterized but used antifreeze to flush toilet, which has worked fine while cold camping with multiple campers.)

Very happy with the unit, how it towed, etc.   

Hoping we have now put freezing temps behind us here in DE so I can de-winterize for good.

Now have to sterilize the tanks, install EMS, install winterization valve, etc...
