with TT's spending all the that time setting it all up!
I've heard this so many times and I still find it confusing. So much so that on my last few camping trip, I actually timed myself.
Setting up:
If I'm staying one night than I don't unhook. (10 mins)
- open the slide
- connect to shore power
- raise the antenna
- lower the stabilzers.
- turn on the gas
- open a cold one
If I unhook (12 mins)
Same as above, except I obviously have to unhook and level.
Breakdown: reverse of the above with the exception of hooking
up - which takes me < 2 mins (I usually can line up on the 2nd or 3rd attempt).
If you own a MH; you have to do everything except the hook/unhook, so where do people spend "all this time setting up"??
(I may have missed a couple of items - but you get the gist)
