When I first purchased my used class C, I took it to a very highly rated heavy truck shop for a bunch of minor repairs, maintenance and modifications I wanted. They did good work, but the bill was quite a bit more than I expected. I looked at the itemized list and found that I was charged $700 to install a brake controller that I provided. I was floored. I guess the chassis wasn't pre-wired (or they couldn't find it...) and it took their tech the better part of a day to feed all the wires front-to-back through the frame.
That was such a simple thing that I easily could have done myself (probably running the wire OUTSIDE the frame...), but decided to add it to the list for the shop since I was having a bunch of other work done. Figured maybe an hour or two of labor costs. Lesson learned.
