We did this for several years when our son was younger. DH and I both got off work at 3:00 pm on Friday and by 3:15, we were on our way.
We kept clothing at the camper, there was a grocery store about 5 minutes away from the camper. We were on a private lot on the lake and had a pontoon boat, also. We had one neighbor, who we actually leased the lot from. She kept watch over the camper during the week.
When we left, we would turn off the water and bring in the awning. That's it. We left the power on, the fridge turned on and condiments left in the fridge. We dumped any leftovers, milk that would spoil, etc.
We had a deck and chairs that were left there. When we closed down, we would fold the chairs and lay them flat so the wind was less likely to get them.
During the winter, we left it on the site. We would winterize the camper, just like it was sitting in front of our house. Made sure the windows were closed, turned off all power, water, dumped the tanks, and locked up.
It was most enjoyable.
