The hookup types, priced apart by frame
| Type, as listed | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Electric-only | basic home hookup at $500-$1,800 installed; 50-amp at $600-$1,800 | electric line at $100-$500 DIY / $750-$1,500 and above pro |
| Water-and-electric | no combined total in this frame; its electric lines stand alone | no combined total printed; water and electric lines stand apart |
| Full water-sewer-electric | no full total in this frame; the electrical purchase only | about $500 DIY with luck; about $5,000 pro |
Each reading is one frame's own counting, on a home RV hookup on residential property as one purchase. Frame A answers the electric-only type in full and prints no water or sewer line; Frame B answers the full type with its two headline figures and prints the partial types as separate lines, never combined.

Frame B answers the type question by utility line: water, electric, and sewer each print on a DIY side and a pro side, and the full type prints as the two headlines. The amp-line ladder stands in Frame A alone.
Types priced apart, neighbours named apart
A type line answers the type question only inside its own frame, on the home hookup purchase alone. Named apart, never a row here: a commercial RV-park site build-out, an electric-only pedestal or outlet job, and a parking pad alone -- the pad prints in Frame B at $500 DIY and $1,000-$5,000 and above pro, in its own lane.
