Labor rate at Camping World

[USCHI]

I we to get warranty work done on my AC. I saw this labor rate and about fell on the floor. Is this true?

That’s cheap..General RV in Florida gets $275 hour

Try a mobile RV person…check them out online will e much more reasonable. Ac replacement should not take more than one hour. Just had it done

Last year, RV Services of VA, the labor rate was $159/hr in 1/2 increments.

I’m a fan of those guys. I used them all the time when I owned my Kountry Star. Fair and competetent.

Well it's either learn to work on your own equipment or pay the going labor rate to have someone else do it for you. Yes I know they don't make it easy to do your own work.
It's the same with newer cars and trucks.

So we had our camper winterized, I think it was 100.00, but I sleep better knowing if I have a leek in spring thay will repair it.

And, we have a new (reported) leader in RV repair labor rate wars! A friend just reported that NIRVC is now charging $289/hr. Wowzers!

This is getting crazy. I'm scared to death to find out what Freightliner is charging.

That's because aircraft owners are notorious cheapskates and is the reason finding an A&P/AI who'll work on small piston powered aircraft is getting more and more difficult. Pretty much zero students coming out of our local aviation tech programs are going into general aviation.

My local Fl service center was $145.00 in February 2024. Gaffney service center was $185.00 in October 2024. I have work scheduled at Newmar in March 2025. I got an email from Newmar last week and their winter rates for January thru March is $125.00 vs $185.00 during the rest of the year.

My GA based mobile tech charges $150 an hour. His roll fee is 1 hr. But he has never charged me the hours he works. Sometimes he brings his wife or almost adult son. Doesn’t charge for either. I’ll gladly pay him because he is good and reliable.

In our experience - hourly rates are important but just one variable to be considered. Equally important is the level of knowledge and expertise.
We learned this the hard way (read expensive) when early in our RV journey that having service work done at a large dealer took so many more hours than the factory.
Even though travel to the factory cost us roughly $1400 last time just for traveling costs + the hourly work being done, we gladly pay that extra as the service shop is staffed by people who built OUR coach 10 years ago. They know the coach and have stories to share about how they had to work to find the right way to make the modifications the original owner wanted.
Back to the OP - I will not pay CW current rates as I won’t go there for service, ever. I our few years of RV experience, I don’t see CW having great service reputation.
