What should I expect as a reasonable cost for the installation?
The existing 5 wires are all good and they can just add the new ones. Any good RV dealer can do this, but the cost will probably vary regionally and among dealers. This should be a good time of year to get it done because they won't be as busy with installs for their own sales business as they will be in the spring.

I'd expect U-haul to be able to bolt on a hitch receiver (heck, that's the easy part of the job: a one guy-one wrench 30 minutes or less for most of us). But I'd expect Uhaul to be not so strong on weight distribution hitches or brake controllers where experience, installation adjustments, and a little advice can be real useful.
