Renting out the S&B, how much do you unpack when 'home'?

Last year, I was only on the road for 6 months and I didn't rent out my house. So I just came home and lived normally. But this year, I was gone 10 months, I packed everything up and rented out the house... now that I at the S&B (for 3-4 months only) it feels kind of pointless to unpack. I have so much other work to do. So I end up 'camping' in the house... which doesn't exactly feel like I am at home.

What do you folks do?
3/4 timing in a DIY van conversion. Backroads, mountains, boondocking, sometimes big cities for a change of pace.

I don't think anyone else can answer that question for you. You have to decide for yourself what is right for YOU. To unpack EVERYTHING is pointless if you intend to leave again in a few months and rent out the house again.

It may appear to be a daunting task, but it is manageable if you set priorities. Or ask yourself if the extra effort is worth renting out the house while you are away. There are sacrifices to be made either way.

Snowbirding means coming back to a home base that remains set up. think you can now consider your self a full timer that still owns income property. You have an unusual situation, hope someone has a good answer for you.
