I know.... I know.... "Drilling holes is not big deal" Thats what I thought too. Well im hear to tell you: They kick my _ _ _. I broke 20 + bits, took forever for some reason, nothing went smooth. Very thick and hard metal to drill though. But once that was done it was not that bad and I would NOT pay over $1000 to have it installed by someone else.
If I had to do it over again I would of hired someone weld on the brackets and finished the rest myself (Or if I had time go up to Big Foot in Sturgis MI and have them install it).
Big Foot installs my kit in like 4 or 5 hours (weld on).

Good on you for doing it. And now we know how tough it is to drill into the frame of these RVs. Welding would be easier. I thought I might do some drilling in frame to put something else on mine and you talked me out of it, thank you.
