    Delivery time

    What is considered an acceptable time frame to pick up an RV after signing for it? Dealership is saying they might have it ready in a week.

    This is our 1st travel trailer so everything is new to us. Thanks.

    A week sounds reasonable. This will allow your dealer to do a complete Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI), any needed adjustments or repairs, and a thorough cleaning.

    Just a suggestion....since this is your first camper, a proper walk thru or pdi will be critical to your enjoyment and understanding of it.
    Take your time. Schedule at least an hour, hopefully more.
    Test everything. Every system. Stove, furnace, water pump, faucets, lights in and out, ac,fans, fridge, outside stove, you get the idea.
    Make sure they show you how to operate everything. Record it on your phone for reference.
    Ask questions. How do you dump your tanks? When do you dump? Sanitizing your water system?
    It may sound intimidating, but it's better to get questions answered at the dealer rather than trying to figure things out yourself at a campground.

    A week is about average. Don't be surprised if you find things during the PDI that need attention and It takes another week before you get to bring it home.

    +1 All three of my waste valves were stuck. The type with the long cable (versus just a rod): they were corroded and needed replacement. Was another week before parts were in and job was done.

    Lucky you. We bought ours 3 weeks ago and they said it will be ready in 3 more.
