There are several variables in your pricing. The most obvious will be determined if your trailer is insulated or not and has inner panels. If it does, the labour costs can easily double.

I have completely rewired a trailer in one long day, about 9 hrs. This included a lunch break, "tweeners" and messing around with other maintenance items. I didn't have the advantage of the newer modular wiring systems that snap together and have ribbon wiring. These greatly lower the installation times. Other variables will include replacing lights which I would recommend, and a new plug as well.

Shop labour costs vary a bit in my area, from $65 - $80 HR. Parts, if you include lights, can be anywhere from $150- $300.

To lower your labour costs, I would recommend you try to find a vo-teck school. DC wiring is not complicated, and many students could handle these circuits in a few days of training.
