I think that perhaps your husbands check list is the bigger part of the problem. I'd be interesting in seeing it...I'm bettin' that we can do a better job of helping cut down the setup and return to travel for you. The more I think about it the more I just can't see any way one could spend that much time in setting up. A friend of ours takes about a half hour to setup and return to travel but he has two satellite antennas on tripods, and several tubs of sewing stuff tht his wife carries, extra tables get setup inside the RV for sewing etc. Table cloths, chairs and extra tables for the outside.
