Thorough, thorough PDI and walk through. Test EVERYTHING!
Congrats on the new trailer. I am sure you will love it and make many memories. There is a lot of great advice and great mods to be found here at JOF.

On your walk through, make sure any flaws get documented so they will be covered on your warranty. If you're new to RVing or just a new trailer, you may consider recording your walk through so that you remember how to control all of the gadgets, bells and whistles so you're not scratching your head when you get home.

Welcome and that is a great rig.
There is also a White Hawk group within JOF at
http://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/gr...wk+owners.html

We had to buy out of state to get the deal we wanted and did a 6 hour PDI.
I took my own tools including ladder and creeper.*

I made sure we had water and electric - enough to run A/C and Microwave at the same time.

We fund they had lost the factory keys and changed some locks thus every key did not work. Found this by testing every lock.

Found some items missing and asked to see the shipping invoice and they put the propane tanks and cover back on.

Found a screen missing this was replaced by taking it from another unit.

Microwave tray was broken, found this only when we tested the unit by cooking a bag of popcorn.

I am half way thru the 2-year warranty - and have done all work myself so far.
