If you include the labor for someone to install this, 2200.00 is not too high.
Renoman probably knows what he is talking about, with such a handle. And yet... $1700 for one day job? On call electrician costs how much - $500 a day? Alright, let him have another $500 for fabricating 8 brackets - assuming they need to be fabricated - even though this won't take him another day and won't cost nearly as much to order in mechanical shop if he doesn't know how to cut aluminum angle. $1000 total labor. This is - assuming the customer knows what he wants and does his homework. When the customer doesn't know ... oh well... the sky is the limit then.
Electricians and plumbers are making well over 80.00 an hour in this province and when was the last time you looked at shop labour rates in an RV service center. Maybe someone who has recently had an RV place install their solar can chime in with what it cost them but I'll bet it would be over 2K.
