you might check these guys out. You schedule a date/time, they come to your location and do the job right there. I had them come to my house. 6 hours later, all done. Very happy with the work.

Performance Trailer Braking

At the time they had 3 install teams that rove different parts of the country. Very responsive. You order/pay for the parts, then after the install you pay for the labor. At the time, earlier this year, it was $2700 job for a tandem axle.

Was the $2700 the total cost...parts and labor?

Yes, when I had it done in May of this year. That's for a tandem axle. I don't know if the pricing has changed or not. The way they work it, is once you pull the trigger, they order the parts for you, you get an invoice, which you can pay online (via Intuit quickbooks website). Once you pay for the parts, they get ordered, and either sent to you directly, or depending on which installer is going to do the job, the parts might get sent directly to the installer. then the installer will contact you, make the connection, confirm the install date/time. they come and do the job, and then they send you the invoice for the labor, which you are expected to pay (online/check/cash) before they leave.

The installer will walk you through the entire process first, including where he plans to install the brake actuator, etc.

They come all self contained, no need to come into your house. There is an expectation to take the RV for a test drive (you driving of course), for him to make sure the brakes are working correctly, adjust the controller, etc.

all-in-all a very good experience for me.
