I get ammused at those who consider getting out of RVing because it is too much 'work'. They complain about the loading & unloading before & after the weekend. The RV is in their driveway or at the very furthest, in front of their house.
Try this for a boating weekend.
Load the car with 3 55qt coolers plus everything else needed, mostly towels & linens. At marina unload stuff carrying it down a flight of stairs & a 100' walk to 14' skiff where you load it. Run the skiff out to where the 'big' boat is kept on a mooring. Unload the skiff into the big boat cockpit. Finally move it for the last time to wherever it is stored.
Time taken from starting to load car to time turning the key of the big boat, over 2 hours. This with the help of 2 children who did move more than their personal stuff.
At the end of the weekend the movement of all that stuff in reverse.
RVing!!!! PUHHH! Easy. Go to the market. Park the cart right outside the RV. Load right there.
