To listen to this week’s podcast, click on the arrow! https://girlcamper.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Girl-Camper-Walk-Through.mp3 On this weeks show my guest is Lynn Butler, owner of Setzers World of Camping in Huntington, West Virginia. Lynn and I discuss picking up you new RV at the dealership. What kind of walk through should a consumer expect? How does a PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection) differ from the consumer walk through on purchase pick up day? What is looked at in a PDI? When is it done? How can you remember all the things you’re being told? Tips for a successful pick up day include: * Mark out the whole day for this big event. * Videotape the demonstrations. * Make sure you get all of the manufacturer manuals for appliances. * Make sure you do your hitch work ahead of time so you can safely tow your new trailer home. * Bring your spouse or a friend along for an extra set of ears. * Make plans for a shake down camp out close to home Also this week I’m chatting about what I learned at Camper College regarding water – hoses, pressure regulators and quick connects! Serious damage can be done to your plumbing if you release water at a high PSI  Into your system. Some campgrounds have water pressure as high as 110 PSI while trailers are manufactured to withstand 40 PSI.  A water pressure regulator is an essential piece of equipment in your RV tool box.
