This only increases cost by the payroll of the “crew leader”. However the wiring, plumbing placement of studs etc are all the same for that model trailer.

The other one uses a QC system that does greatly increase the cost but is much more extensive than the previous one but you get a build book with the trailer that contains the wiring, plumbing, stud placement etc for the trailer. This company will custom build your trailer they quoted a copy of our 3665re Montana and in 2010 only cost $25,000 more than we paid for the trailer and that amounted to only $5,000 more than the trailer cost use after repairing the mistakes Keystone would not repair under warranty.

Let me guess
This unnamed company is in Kansas??
