In addition to David's suggestion to video tape the "walk thru" I would recommend that you actually do the set up yourself with the dealer or previous owner guiding you through the process. There are a lot of little details like where do you actually light the hot water heater pilot that you might not capture on a video cam.
Specifically for folding trailers, dealers may have the unit set up when you get there for your walk thru. I know the first time the dealer did the set up was before I bought my PUP and they were trying to convince me how easy it was to set up. The next visit was the walk thru and this time it was already set up. So I never knew how to set up the awning until I had to figure it out during my second camping trip. The same thing applied to folding up the camper caddy.
Now while we are on this topic, I would also encourage every one to share the break camp details with your spouse or significant other.
Why?
Well if you are like me, your spouse is taking care of the inside details while you are working out side. I've always been concerned that if I had an accident she might not know how to break camp. In fact the first time we talked about this her response was "I'd hang a 'FOR SALE AS IS' sign up at the camp ground". So video taping that process or taking photographs is another way to document what needs to be done.
