Labor is around $125.00 per hour. So ten hours, add another $1250.
The labor on my Samsung install was 10 hours one man worked a full eight hours on it with the help of another man for 2 hours to pull the Norcold and get the Samsung into the unit. They had to remove the window by the dinette table on the divers side and used a fork truck to get them out and in. At the time 2 years ago labor was $99 an hour. So $1200 for the refrigerator and $1000 labor plus about $50 materials. The modified sine Xantex inverter has worked perfectly with the Samsung for the past two years. We are full timers and never boon dock except occasionally in a Walmart parking lot. I have never had dead inverter batteries after a day of travel, which on some days is 10 hrs., and by the time we get up the next morning they are completely charged. Of course you know I have a Tour Master and have four 6V inverter batteries, two 12V deep cells with a converter for 12V in the coach and two 12V starting batteries. With all the trouble we had with the Norcold its been the best mod we've ever done. A new Norcold 1200 or a comparable Dometic was $3000 at the time plus installation.
