Tips for reducing set-up time?
Does anyone have any tips to shorten set-up time (besides just pulling into a WalMart parking lot!)? At the end of a day of driving, we usually spend about 1.5 hr setting up, which makes for a very l...

1.5 hours to setup would take all the fun away.
I watched a couple pull in next to us last year (might be the OP). It was obviously a new rig. The DH got out and checked the alignment and reset the coach in the space a couple of times. I did this as well, but the first bus didn't have levelers.
Once he was happy with his position, he went around the other side for 15 minutes (I assume he was hooking up), then he pulled the shiny orange jack pads out and spent 10 minutes or so leveling a pretty much already leveled bus.
Once happy with the level, he spent the next hour pulling the entire Camping World catalog out of the basement and setting it up on the site. He had 4 patio chairs (it was just 2 people), a gas grill, picnic table cover, butt cushions for the picnic table, etc, etc, etc. Just when I thought he was done, his head would go back into the basement and some other Camping World accessory would come out. Just as he sat down, the DW appeared with a couple of steaks, so he needed to start the grill.
I was exhausted just watching him.
