$199 per hour shop labor rate
I was floored today while at General RV. Their new 2018 labor rate charged is $ 199 hr. I had to look twice. It goes up every year. 5 hours working on your rig ... $1000 bucks, not including parts.

Perfect example of why "I AM MY OWN WARRANTY STATION". I know it's getting done right.
X2 I generally can handle about 90% of whatever goes wrong on our older Class A. If I can't, and it's a chassis issue, there is a local truck repair facility that has a great reputation, and bills at $85 hour. If it's related to the house portion, I'm a few blocks from a top notch general repair shop that has an over-sized bay, and a fully certified RV tech. they bill at $90.
There is simply no way I'm paying $150/hr for a helper at a mega-dealer to stumble around and attempt to repair an issue, while a real mechanic stops by every half hour, or so, to limit the carnage. $200/hr is even more absurd.
