How long to bring slide in and drive off?

Looking at a small class c ie winnebago view/navion, tiffin wayfarer, or entegra qwest to use as place to sleep overnight while i'm working.

question - how long to bring in the single wall side in and drive off? no external hookups. 10 minutes? 5 minutes?

just trying to get an idea. thanks in advance
  • In that case add 1 minute to bring the slide in, 2 if you're not awake when the call comes. :B
  • I will be on call for 4 different hospitals that I need to get to within 30 min of receiving the phone call hence the need to get up and drive off.

    No toad, no wheel chocks, nothing hooked externally. will do one quick walk around after the slide is in.
  • We have a Tiffin Wayfarer 2019 FW Model with full Wall Slide.Old Version of RW.

    With two of us, break down is 4-5 minutes doing inside and outside tasks without rushing.Super Easy. Set up is a bit longer.

    We are minimalists. Almost 6 years Full Timing, 2 1/2 of those years in the Wayfarer.
  • I traveled solo and when stopping for the night in a truck stop/rest area etc I would put my rear slide out.

    Once I got up I would push the button and be ready to go in a matter of minutes. My front slide required a slide lock to be put in place so that took a few extra minutes.

    The one time my slide lock was not in place the slide bracket broke and my slide came out about 6 inches. driving down I-15

    As mentioned, my rigs never move until I do a complete walk around and inspection and tire kick. Especially if you are towing behind your MH.
  • Who you running from?

    After retracting slides etc YOU should do a walk around checking that all is secure, lights work, chocks removed/stowed
    Then drive away

    Takes whatever time it takes....each persons routine is different
