How much does it cost parts and labor to have awning installed to my 31 foot (hitch to bumper) travel trailer?


Any contractors here?

  • I am sorry but I need more information.
    Are you looking for a manual or electric awning?
    Location where you want it done is a factor as labor rates vary by as much as 50-60 bucks an hour with 4 hours about right for the job
    Would like to see the side of your RV to get an idea of how long is perfect.
    Even though you are 31 feet, 25 feet is probably long enough
    A manual awning can be had for about $1100.00.
    Headed to Quartzite you might get a deal
    labor?

    Total $986.84/parts $480/labor

    Roughly $1466.84 PLUS local tax
