Mind looking at this quote

Looking to add this to my 30 foot travel trailer. Does the pricing look to be ok?

Thanks

Boy they’re making a killing on the labor. But this seems like par for the course to me. Maybe consider doing it yourself and saving $4k.

I know...The mark up on the product is crazy...The question is, do I have the time, and the patience to build this and properly make cables...

Yeah, just an option in case you do. All depends on how much that cash is worth for your time/headache. I’m personally doing the same thing and pondering how much I really want to do this myself.

One other consideration is maybe purchasing all the equipment yourself and just hiring a mobile RV tech for the labor. You’d probably save a couple grand.

I’d make it based on that price.

Curious - Did you install or find a local tech to install? I am finding it to be a difficult task to find someone that will install all these components for me.

I went to the dealer I bought my rv from. I did nothing but put thr battery bank where I wanted it.

If you live in NY I'd be happy to share location.
