It must be time to go, the suns out and I've got a full tank of diesel and an empty charge card!
20 minutes to half an hour depending on how much of a hurry I'm in. Usually I take my time and have a couple of beers during the process. While I'm doing the outside stuff, the wife gets everything ready inside.
It takes us about 20 minutes with both of us sharing the task. As soon as the unit is leveled. I put down the scissor jacks, hook up electricity, sewer hose, water (if we have it) and DH takes care of the hitch, unloading dogs, turning on gas, checking stove, turning on fridge, or vice versa. Still takes about the same time if no hookups and we plan to stay longer because then the carpet comes out and the awning is extended. Although it seems like a lot, when you get the routine down, it goes fast.

Everyone is much speedier than us! It takes us a good 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.
We almost always put out our awning and carpet. Our trailer is very small, so we need the "living room." We work fairly steadily and it still takes us that long! I was commenting this morning about our camp neighbors breaking camp in record time... I think it took them 15-20 minutes.
Still - it's much easier work than cranking up the old pop-up we traded in!
What's the rush
Setting up, and tearing down, is all part of the fun.

Hmmm...never timed it. Let's see. To back in, level, unhook tow vehicle and put down stab jacks - not very long - about 20 minutes i'd say. All 4 of us have our jobs - hubby and I unhitch the tow vehicle. I level front to back and then 11 year old takes over with the stab jacks. 14 year old starts inside with bathroom and gets the shower stuff out and set up whilst I do the kitchen. Meanwhile, hubby is hooking up electric, water and sewer. I'd say 1/2 hour to 45 minutes from back in to sitting in a chair with a soda under the awning.
BTW: A 25' trailer will have a box size roughly of 22' or less. If you want a box size of 25' you need to look at 28-30' (ball to bumper)length trailers. i.e. - our box size (livable space) is 25'5" and our total length is 29'1".
