..Our first toad, we had RV dealer install the base plates. They did a good job, but it was NOT cheap, at $105 per hour labor rate and 4 hours labor!
Our next toad we recently purchased (Ford Fusion), RV dealer could not do the installation before we wanted to have it ready for a trip. Sooo, I took it to the Ford dealer where we bought it, had them do the base plate install. They did a great job as well.
'Twas much less expensive, too, since Ford dealer's labor rate was considerably less, and they only charged for the labor it actualy took them to do the work (3 hrs), instead of the estimated 4 hours like RV dealer did!
