When performing a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) on a folding camping trailer, how far should you raise the roof?

During a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) of a folding camping trailer, raising the roof halfway up is the recommended approach. This position allows for a comprehensive check of key components and systems, including the lifting mechanisms, seals, and interior space. By extending the roof to this point, the inspector can ensure that the roof's functioning is smooth and that there are no obstructions or damages that might compromise the integrity or usability of the trailer.

Raising the roof all the way up may not always be necessary, as it could lead to an inspection that focuses more on the structure than on operational functionality. Similarly, raising it only a quarter or one-third of the way up may not provide adequate visibility or access to critical areas needed for an effective inspection. Halfway up strikes a balance, enabling thorough evaluation without overextending the setup.
