Tioga and George saw a lot of the west and Mexico without a toad, over the course of several (ten?) years.
So did Andy "Travels With Andy" Baird, although he finally bought a toad after several years without.
You do get into a routine as far as keeping things neat so you can break camp without too much trouble. I mean, you've got all day, so you can take 10 minutes once a day to put your stuff away and go into town. The return to camp doesn't take much at all. You already know where you are putting the wheels. Pull in, connect the electrical cord, and call it good. We use our fresh water tank so we don't have to connect and disconnect the hose. We only get the dump hose out when it's time to dump.
I think bikes would be a nice touch. If you don't have a toad, you can buy a RV receiver hitch for two bikes and stick the kid's bike on it too, or somewhere else in storage. Bikes are cheap at Wal-Mart, practically disposable.
Or, every town has a guy who gets old bikes and sells them cheap. Check Craigslist once you get a chance.
