Our baseplate install cost us about $125. The plate was $250. Little overpriced?
This is a base plate for a car to attach to a MH. Not a fifth wheel. Plate $489 - install $132 hr x 4. It is what is is. I don't have the time to do it, and wanted it done right. I don't mind paying for work to be done. It helps the economy and if it helps the economy then it keeps me working. I could afford to pay, so it wasn't a issue.
I am talking about a car baseplate. Yes, we have a 5th wheel now, but have towed with Class C's, Class A's and DP's. Every single car change cost us right about the same for install. The baseplate varied in cost. Our friendly neighborhood hitch shop did 4 different cars for us over the years! I'm sorry you had a bad experience and overpaid.
It's great your thrifty. It's your opinion I overpaid. However I think in this industry (I checked around before) it's the going rate. No complaints regarding that. To me it was fair. So I'm not sorry. Lot of young people there with mouths to feed.
Has nothing to do with being cheap. Took it to an expert who did the job, without any damage on all 4 occasions, for the right price. :-) Safe travels
