Person doing the setup has to choose to minimize what gets done. When in traveling mode, I may level as I park (I don't have jacks to mess with), hook up electricity only, run out only one of the two slideouts (bedroom). I don't haul out camping or recreational equipment, and since I don't watch TV, no need to mess with antenna or satellite stuff. Less than 15 minutes. If I do a water hookup too, that does not add more than three minutes.
Leaving sometimes takes a little longer, have to put away the stuff we got out inside.
If I cook outside, getting out that equipment isn't part of setup, it is part of cooking, and gets put away after, rather than leaving it out until morning.
Even when staying 3-4 days in one place, I don't have more than 30 minutes of things to do before considering myself set up. But I understand your situation, we go RVing with at least a couple guys who will take more than an hour to do pretty much the same things.
