If you call SMI, they can tell you who in your area installs their products. I called them and got a couple of names but decided to do it myself. I wanted the 4-wire stay and play which requires wiring in the motor home and the toad. Their estimate for installation was 6 - 8 hours and since most shops charge about $100 per hour I decided to do it myself. I took me about 8 hours with most of it being wiring the toad.

There may be a dealer that can do installs in your market area so I would call SMI and find out for sure.

Owen,

John Bleakly RV does installs. Call Hank at 877-456-3700 and he can take of it. SMI also has a show team heading to Perry in a few weeks for the NAARV National rally if Hank does not work out. Call the office if you need more information.
