By the way, Shaunna at Texas RV has been great to work with.

So I've got my hopes up.

My main concern now is leakage. How can you inspect for that unless it's pouring rain ... which I guess isn't that common in Texas. My wife suggests that at our first campsite, we get out the hose and soak the thing. We might just do that.

Oh yes, the layout. That's why we bought it, that and the TrailManor reputation <sigh>. Wish us luck.
brulaz,

The dealer should have no problems with hosing down your trailer at delivery, if asked. Don't be shy about asking. They should be set-up to do this. I would ask them to run the water over the trailer for at least 15 minutes.

Soaking it down at a CG might be frowned upon. They don't usually like people getting the site all soaking wet.

If the dealer agrees and does soak your unit, open your outside refer vents to see if they are wet. ours get wet inside from a gentle shower. Norcold says NO water should enter these vents!!!

I would also ask the dealer how they wash the TM for delivery prep. It is way to easy to use a commercial big rig power washer. This get the TM nice and clean very quickly. The problem is that this loosens the caulk and cause leaks or sets you up for future leaks. Never use anything but a cleaning mitt or soft RV brush on your TM.

Default Make sure that they do not use a high pressure hose

A high pressure hose like a power washer can lift the caulking. You never know who will get assigned to do this job and what they will think is the right thing to do.
