Bundled Service Packages and Combinations

Because a large share of the labor on any job is getting to the work rather than doing it. On these vehicles that share is unusually high.

Consider a roof. Reaching it means staging, fall protection, removing or loosening trim and terminations, and cleaning the surface before anything can be assessed. That preparation is the same whether you are resealing three penetrations or replacing a vent, a fan and a skylight while you are up there. Booked as separate visits, you pay for the access three times.

The same logic applies to a slide room. Once a slide is pulled and staged, the mechanism, the seals and the topper are all exposed. Servicing the mechanism and leaving worn seals in place means a second teardown within a year or two, at full access cost.

So a bundle is not a marketing construct. It is a scheduling decision that removes duplicated access hours, and the saving is real because the hours are real. Every component below is a published operation at its published range on the prices page, and the combined figure is the sum of those operations with the duplicated access hours counted once.

Roof and seal integrity package

For a vehicle with a sound membrane, aging sealant and no confirmed intrusion yet. The point is to get ahead of water rather than repair it later, since water intrusion is the primary long term failure mode for this entire category.

• Roof recoat and reseal, $750 to $4,500 across 4 to 20 hours
• Window and frame reseal, $250 to $3,500 across 1 to 14 hours
• Pre purchase inspection, full systems walk and written report, $400 to $1,200 across 3 to 6 hours

Why it groups. The inspection identifies which windows and penetrations actually need attention, so the reseal work is targeted rather than blanket. The staging and cleaning that the recoat requires is the same staging the window work needs. The written report becomes your baseline for the next several years.

Slide room service package

For a slide that is slow, noisy, uneven or simply overdue. Slide rooms are the single most common source of both mechanical complaints and water intrusion on units that have them.

• Slide out mechanism service, $500 to $8,500 across 3 to 35 hours
• Slide out seal replacement, wiper, bulb and D seal, $400 to $3,000 across 2 to 14 hours
• Slide out topper replacement, $450 to $1,800 across 3 to 8 hours

Why it groups. All three require the room staged and the perimeter accessible. Replacing seals during a mechanism service adds a fraction of the hours it would cost as a separate visit, and a failed topper is one of the most common causes of the slide roof water damage that eventually turns into a rebuild at $1,500 to $7,500.

Season change and storage package

For owners putting a rig away or bringing it back out, and the single most requested grouping the shop schedules. Booking ahead of the seasonal cluster is the difference between a chosen date and an assigned one.

• Winterization and de winterization, $250 to $750 across 1 to 4 hours
• Annual maintenance service, $400 to $2,500 across 3 to 10 hours
• Full interior and exterior detail, $500 to $2,000 across 5 to 21 hours

Why it groups. The annual service already has the systems open and running, which is exactly the state winterization needs. Detailing at the same visit means the vehicle goes into storage clean, which matters more than it sounds: organic material left on a roof or in seals accelerates deterioration during months of standing.

Trailer running gear package

For travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers and utility trailers where the wheels come off anyway. Almost everything below the frame shares one access operation.

• Trailer suspension service, leaf, torsion or air ride, $400 to $6,500 across 2 to 25 hours
• Electric, surge and hydraulic brake service, $300 to $5,500 across 1 to 22 hours
• Wheel bearing repack and hub service, $250 to $1,200 across 1 to 5 hours
• Tire mount, balance and replacement, $250 to $1,500 across 1 to 6 hours

Why it groups. Wheels off, drums off, hubs apart. Once that is done, bearings, brakes, suspension components and tires are all accessible at the same time. Doing them across four visits means paying for the same disassembly four times, which is the clearest example of duplicated access cost on the whole list.

Power, battery and solar package

For owners moving to lithium, adding solar, or fixing a house electrical system that has been modified repeatedly over the years. These components interact, and changing one in isolation frequently exposes a mismatch in another.

• 12V and 110V electrical diagnostics and repair, $285 to $5,000 across 1 to 20 hours
• House battery replacement, AGM, lithium or LiFePO4, $500 to $5,500 across 2 to 10 hours
• Inverter and charger replacement, $750 to $4,500 across 3 to 14 hours
• Solar panel installation, rigid or flexible with MPPT control, $1,500 to $12,000 across 8 to 40 hours

Why it groups. A lithium house bank needs a compatible charging profile, so a battery swap alone often leaves the charger fighting the batteries. Solar, inverter and charging all share the same wiring runs, the same panel access and the same commissioning test. Diagnostics first is what prevents installing new equipment onto an existing fault.

Fleet appearance and marking package

For operators rebranding, retiring a livery, or bringing a tired fleet back to presentable. Sequenced so units cycle through without route coverage dropping.

• Decal removal and reapplication, $400 to $3,000 across 2 to 12 hours
• Vinyl wrap, partial or full, $1,500 to $9,500 across 10 to 45 hours
• Reflective tape and compliance marking, $250 to $1,200 across 1 to 6 hours
• Bedliner and box liner spray in, $500 to $1,800 across 3 to 7 hours

Why it groups. Removal, surface preparation and reapplication share the same cleaning and masking work, and the vehicle is already staged. Compliance marking is quick while the panels are being worked and easily forgotten when it is not. On multi unit fleets, the sequencing plan matters as much as the operations.

Exactly like anything else here. Each component operation is written at its published labor hours multiplied by the applicable rate: $210 for body and paint, $260 for mechanical and electrical, $285 for diagnostics, $95 for detail. Materials calculate at $55 per paint hour and $5 per body hour, with a $45 hazmat line where regulated material is involved and 7.75 percent sales tax on parts and materials only.

The difference is the hours, not the rate. When operations share access, staging or teardown, those hours appear once on the estimate rather than repeatedly. That is the entire mechanism, it is visible on the written estimate, and you can check it against the individual published bands yourself.

What these are not: a discount off a list price. There is no list price other than the posted rate card, so there is nothing to discount from. Any shop advertising a percentage off an unspecified original number is describing arithmetic you cannot verify.

Deposits apply as normal. Jobs over $2,000 carry a 50 percent deposit at authorization, jobs over $10,000 carry an additional 25 percent when parts arrive, and special order parts require a full deposit at order. Card payments over $1,000 carry a 3.5 percent surcharge.

Start with what the vehicle is telling you rather than with the list.

• Any stain, soft spot or musty smell means an evaluation before any package. A systems estimate is $150, applied as a credit against an authorized repair, and includes moisture mapping. Bundling maintenance onto an unaddressed leak is spending money in the wrong order.
• A slide that hesitates, binds or sounds different points to the slide package, but diagnosis comes first because control faults, mechanical wear and structural movement need different work.
• An upcoming season change or a rig going into storage points to the seasonal package, and booking ahead of the cluster genuinely matters.
• Any trailer that has not had its wheels off in years points to the running gear package, which is also the package most likely to prevent an expensive event.
• Plans to spend time away from hookups point to the power package, and diagnostics belong at the front of it.
• A fleet changing livery or looking tired points to the appearance package, and the sequencing conversation should happen before the first unit arrives.

Packages can also be combined or trimmed. If half of one applies and half of another, that is a normal estimate rather than a problem, and the same shared access logic still applies. Request a quote and describe what the vehicle is doing, or work the numbers yourself first with the cost calculator.
