Went in and talked to All RV in Tucson today. The final quote is a moving target with a max (NOW) of around $1000 to a low of $800 out the door. The $1000 figure comes from the amount of time Remco Tech says the job will take. The $800 is what the local tech thinks he maybe able to do it in but I not very optimistic. This is for installation of base plates and wiring including the power supply line....
Are they ordering, providing the baseplates as part of that $800-1000? Or, are you ordering, getting the base plates separate from that?
If that price includes them providing the base plates, that is a pretty good deal. If not, then I'd say thats a bit much.
Ford dealer installed our base plates on the Fusion, charged me just under $300 for the labor (I provided the base plates, cost $380 from hitchsource.com, with free shipping). I did all the wiring myself, cost me 'bout $40 in parts (magnetic lights, 6 round connector in front, handful of wires, connectors, etc.)
Now, the EXPENSIVE part was having the RV dealer install the brake cables on the Fusion, for the ReadyBrake braking system I use. Don't even want to think about, or repeat that number, haha. :)
Figure includes all parts (base plates & wiring kit) & taxes. They are providing everything. I agree not too bad from the cost I found from an Internet search.
