Hi all,
Trying to figure out what would be a fair price for changing out both axles on my 2018 Imagine 2600RB. To those of you who may have had it done what was the labor cost? Thanks
 
Your request is a little incomplete. If you have what are called completes, which is grease cap to grease cap - meaning all new brakes and bearings - that's a matter of cutting and reconnecting 4 wires, R&R 4 wheels, and removing 16 nuts to hang them. Now if you're just getting bare axles, that's a lot more work. Put springs and shackles and wet bolts into the mix it gets more... Figure the former in $500 territory for labor, and the latter north of $1K. Call a local trailer shop, not an RV dealer, and get some numbers.

Yes you're right. It would be complete with brakes, drums, springs etc. Thank you.
