This year we switched from a TT to a MH. Prior to trading in the TT we had to unload everything and then keep out only the minimum basics for our first night in the new rig. We camped the night we bought it in a nearby campground. Wow, was that an eye-opening experience! We thought we were traveling light, and realized quickly how much stuff we had accumulated over the three years we had the TT. We pared down and don't miss the stuff we left in the shed.
We leave everything in the MH except for perishible food. At the end of each trip (which is nearly every weekend) we pile the dirty clothes and towels on the bed, gather up the sheets and head to the laundry room. The linens get washed first, and go right back into the MH. We make the bed, make sure the frig and freezer are propped open and everything is stowed and ready for the next trip.
Packing is just perishibles and clothes. During the summer, shorts, tshirts, socks, undies and such go back out to the MH with the linens. We also keep extra shoes, rain jackets and hoodies in the MH. Our packing time and unloading time are down to just a few minutes on either end.
OP, just have fun. Your new truck sounds like a winner and your kids will love camping. The best childhood memories I have are the adventures and fun we had camping.
