   I considered it, but after researching I decided I was not going to be   
   happy with underside wiring and letting them put the plug in just   
   anywhere on the TOAD.  To be fair, it was my choice to do the more   
   difficult interior install.  The only thing big on a Bronco are the   
   tires.  At 6' 6" it was very hard on my arthritic ass getting in there   
   and getting it done.  It is not a complicated job if you just wire   
   underneath and go into the taillights, but even that is a bit time   
   consuming.   
      
   I also do not have much faith in the workmanship of most people these   
   days.  On the RV I have found many little things that simply are   
   unacceptable for what you pay for a new rig.  A bumper misaligned, a   
   jack not plumb, both tank heater pads coming unglued, lights that don't   
   go off when doors are closed, even paint over spray on shiny polished   
   aluminum wheels, etc.  All these things with the smallest of quality   
   control should not have occurred.  If quality matters, you almost have   
   to do it yourself on some things.
