Its a lot like the Car Buisness with 20+ years of car sales I can tell you often I sold people the identical cars for as much as $5000 or more different Customer paid what they felt it was worth It didnt mean anyone was cheated just I made a living Fair percieved value.
To some $25 is a lot to pay for a chip repair on thier 15 year old rust bucket others who realize that they will save thousands on the cost of a new windshield it may be worth $150 whats the dif? Customer happy and you make a honest living Its called buisness for a reason

One piece windshields for motor homes start about $2000 and go up to around $5000. Most around $2500 to $4000. They are also thicker, so if you have to drill will take longer. Two piece WS on older MHs that are swept back more are the most difficult to work on for higher chips. Have had customers tell me to use their straight ladder with stand offs leaned against the front of the MH above the glass.

I don't charge more but I should. It's a lot more work to do these.

I did a long crack in a 1950 Cadillac with, I think, original WS. Drilled to terminate crack, I think it was twice as thick as a large MH WS. Drilled really deep and finally got a fairly large bulls eye in the bottom. Fresh crack, looked good when done, client happy, $10 tip, I'm happy too.
