I plan on staying there in unit several days to test it out as well as we had the understanding from the beginning of the process that I want be there so in case they have to really dig into unit I can also see and learn about the unit from beginning- I am first time heartland owner-coming from sob- and had 2 previous trailers - pretty handy and have lots of mods already planned- I fully expect that there will be some little things and possibly big issues- and I am anxious to see behind storage bay walls- I already have my progressive to install and will be cleaning up the wires/hoses in there as well- they are a great bunch of folks and allowed me to he y sat dish and generator drop shipped there- and having a fork lift will make those installs much easier- I planned it this way so that if something major happened during transport I can still leave unit an pick up later- only 2 1/2hours form me so not a major haul and I would rather know what exactly needs to be addressed an ten can check up on those things as time goes on. I was very lucky to find a great dealer that really worked hard to help me get the management and plant to do options I wanted -nearly walked back to sob over some small things- and they are very accommodating I letting me be there to see/learn about unit in this way-
