From when I unhooked my PUP to when I was ready to heat up supper took me 1 hr. That included setting the stove, table, chairs and kitchen box outside under the awning.
If my wife helped me it took about 1 1/4 hours.:W
For my TT, if we cook outside under the awning with a table, chairs, and camp stove it takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
It really does not matter because I never considered setting up a race. :)
The convenience of stopping at a roadside pull off and sitting at the table for lunch, leaving it hooked to the truck until the rain stopped in the morning, 24hr bathroom access now that I am older, are just a few of the things I like.
But make no doubt about it, convenience costs; gas, maintenance and repairs, not to mention driving 50 feet and 12,000 lbs. or so of truck and trailer. When someone says it is just not worth the hassle, I understand completely.
To me it is worth the extra effort, however I do miss not being able to go through the fast food drive-thrus.:B
