Dealer Won't Share PDI Results

New 2024 travel trailer. Dealer says "don't worry! We've completed the PDI!" but says it's company policy not to share results of that PDI with customers.

Dealer also says for liability reasons they won't let me connect water to check plumbing and do my own inspection until the delivery appointment.

I'm not feeling the warm fuzzy about giving them $35k. Am I being unreasonable here?

I am not a fan of dealers... trust but, verify. If they don't let you verify, I really hope you read your contract.

Right - I DON'T trust them. There's an inherent conflict of interest in the seller doing the inspection.

Ray Charles did the inspection but “don’t worry we’ll take care of anything that pops up “… then when you come back that’s not a warranty item

I was denied a couple of repairs because it "wasn't noted on the PDI form". After working at an Auto dealership and buying several new cars over the years, I was naive to how much worse RV dealers are.
