Good morning, nacelle must be removed for install. 2016 Forde Edge.

OEM, aftermarket, RV dealer?

Thx, Dennis.

I think more information would be very helpful. Brakes on the Ford Edge or some brand of rv? Not sure what "nacelle" is.

Blue Ox baseplate and possible the brakes and wiring installed.

Nacelle: a streamlined housing or tank for something on the outside of an aircraft or motor vehicle.

All for the Ford Edge.

But, I guess in the instructions it's called a fascia. Ok, instructions were too large a file. The fascia or nacelle is the whole plastic piece that covers the front end. Holds headlites, turn signals, grill etc.

Tossing around the same question for my new 2017 Explorer... (assuming I want the option to tow it instead of the Jeep at times).

I had RV dealer do the Jeep but it wasn't 'new' and I was in a different state at the time - so can't use same option now.
Don't have an established relationship with RV dealer here yet.

On my list to get a price from Ford dealer - and see how much they want.
I'd consider eTrailer if I were closer to them.

Bottom line - needs to be someone you trust to do the work -regardless of who they are.

Find an RV Tech that has done a lot of them. No substitute for experience!!!! Talk to other RV'ers in your area, it may wind up being a mobile tech. I used a mobile tech when I had my car and motorhome set up, which included installing a braking system too. He never missed a beat, got everything done when he said he would, damaged nothing, and in twelve years have never had a problem with any of it.

You need to shop around and compare estimates and reputations. I installed the US Gear brake system on our first toad, not all that difficult with instructions. Didn't feel equipped to install the baseplate or connect the lights.

We had a shop remove it all from our first toad and installed on our current toad. Was glad I hired that part out, as not only did they have to remove the bumper, but also cut holes in the grill. I would have considered a mobile tech if I didn't have a competent and affordable RV shop nearby.
