I can put my on the truck in 30 minutes including the 10 minute to/from the storage yard. I can stock it in less than 30 minutes. If I haven't precooled the fridge because it's a last minute trip, I just throw in a dozen cold packs from the freezer. Getting home, it takes about the same amount of time to clean her up and unload. It all stays on the truck when I'm on the road as we just drive the entire rig around to sight see. Plus we don't have anything like rugs, lights, chairs, plants, etc so setup is back in until it's level and connect power, maybe 90 seconds. So two hours of work for 48 hours minimum of relaxation is totally worth it. A couple of weekend ago, we decided on Thursday to go up to Myrtle Beach for the weekend eating out for both dinners along with strolls along the deserted beach and around the campground. Unbelievable amount of recharge to us both physically and mentally.
I think the key is to have as much stocked in the camper as possible. For us, I have to throw in my wife's clothes and perishable food for the kitchen. Everything else like my clothes, dishes, pots, pans spices, non-perishables, towels, laundry detergent, soaps, etc remain packed. If I had to put everything in and take it all back out each time I used it, then it may not be practical for a weekend trip.
