I'm in NH and so far the only DAR i can find is in Massachusetts and charges $2000 plus travel expenses. This sounds more than the going rate.
Please let me know what is a reasonable fee?

MIDO Function Code for E-LSA is 61, not 47. Function Codes have changed in recent years.
FSDO Function Code for E-LSA is 157.
What? MIDOs and FSDOs use different function codes?
and then, after the inspection is done you have to track down an faa inspector for your repairman's cert. i was told a dar can't issue that.

So, if I sent my friendly A&P to take the course and exam and say they were me, it’s only important that it’s me that picks up the certificate? Must be another devious reason I’m not able to conceive.
Not much help, but I must say as a fellow RV-12 builder from NH, that's discouraging. It's a seller's market, I guess. I see 2 other DARs in the Northeast, though none are particularly close. Are they asking similar fees or even willing to travel here?
Allowing DARs to issue repairman certificates has been tossed around for years. Most everyone is FOR the idea until it gets to FAA Washington. At that point it gets shot down.
The DAR for our plane charged $900 which included his travel time of 3 hours by car. He guided us through the new (at the time) FAA online registration system. His experience and help was very valuable and worth the money we paid. Hope that helps.
I charge $395 piston; $450 Trubine; $155hr for flight travel in my aircraft; or $.59 per mile and $35 per hour surface travel plus lodging if necessary. Mostly Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Northern California, but travel anywhere on occasion. I was able to issue on "Scrappy" and facilitate Mike getting it to Oshkosh.

after going through 2 FSDOs I finally found a MIDO to do my inspection
they asked me to upload a program letter from Van's .
I have called Van's and haven't received a call back.
Does anybody know what program latter the FAA needs?

I don't think Van's will send you a program letter. Your MIDO is confused. If you will give me your email, I will send you a copy of the one I use.
