I would offer as a suggestion to take your cell phone or camera and either take photos or video.  I did that with the Alde as he explained the setting and various valves.

Also search here for "checklist" or "walkthrough" or something similar - There's been some threads on this.
Good suggestion to take your camera and shoot pics or videos.

I would ask how it's currently winterized and the steps you need to do before using.

Have them show you how to work the Alde for both heat and hot water. That's got to be one of the biggest question areas here. 

Also have them show show you exactly where to put the jack if and when you have to change a tire.

I picked mine up in October, and the at Tom's Camperland they assigned me one nice young guy to walk me through the trailer.  He was willing to give me all day if I wanted to, and it was quite useful.  But, it wasn't until the first trip out that I was able to "play" and find out what I didn't know.  I had taken a list, and took lots of pictures and videos, and it all helped.  You will wind up with a large packet of manuals, and they are invaluable. (Not as invaluable as these forums, however).   I should have taken a much more "systems" approach to the tour.  Electrical/Plumbing/Heating/Towing/Refrigeration......I really didn't realize how many moving parts were involved.

The things I really needed to know that I wound up not being completely clear on:  how exactly does the water pump work, and how to set up the Alde system to heat water. 

How does the brake controller work, and how do I adjust it?  If you have never towed or hooked up a vehicle, take a video of the process.  My pictures barely helped me!

No jack is required to change a flat, use the rear stabilizer and front wheel jack.

Some have struggled ith lighting the fridge on propane.

HMMM some of these I had no clue !!!

Make sure your TV lug wrench fits the Outback nuts (mine didn't).  Check out "Fuses for Newbies" and start buying your spares.

If you have never towed anything before, have the dealer show you how to hitch and unhitch, then you repeat the performance with him there. That simple process has driven some of us round the bend instead of down the road, Judi
