As far as the microwave goes, we pack all of our breads, English muffins etc. in the MW before departure. Out of the way and secures turntable plate. I guess what this thread shows is that everyone has their own comfort level of what needs to be set up, whether its just an overnight, or days stay. I do believe that for many who take an extended amount of time setting up, it is a form a therapy for them to either get the ol'body moving again after hours behind the wheel, or they just are the puttering type that like to putz around their rig. I know for me, even when I'm tearing down the campsite on departure day, no matter what kind of weather, I still enjoy the "put-away" as the last act of another successful camping excursion.
