Jackson Center's labor rate is $125/hr (USD).

If it were me, that's where I'd go - no question. Extra bonus is getting to learn more about their manufacturing, service, community, etc. there's a great local hardware store down the street that makes perfect key copies first try and doesn't charge a penny (so buy something from them if you go) 😀.

Since you have the skills, hopefully you can find the space you're looking for and get it done yourself - it's great to have that kind of knowledge and skill!!

Good luck!

Wow it has gone up since 2008 the last time I had work done on the trailer there.

At these rates even if I did not have the skill I sure would learn fast

When the time comes I will still go to the factory to have them work on the corrosion on the lights, hinges and a bit around the marker lights. I would never tackle taking my door off.

I have had the chance to go through the factory three times and each time is as exciting as the first!

No matter the issues I have with my baby, I love it!!! everything is fixable and most times it is a lot of fun and gives you a great sense of accomplishment Would not have any other trailer and as long as I can hook up and drive she will be with me for a very very long time.

Maintenance and things that wear out are no different than anything else I own...nothing lasts for ever - but the bones of these babies do. They tow great, they look great and sleeping in her has this amazing aluminum healing power
