We take about an hour to the clean up and hook up. I do the outside duty and my DW does the inside. She leave the dishes for when we get home. So it really takes a couple of hours to get things in shape when we get home. Things seem to get cleaner when we do them the morning after the trip.

We clean,wipe down and put everything in its place. We normally can break it totally down and be on the road in an hour to hour an a half.

Usually 2-3 hours 'clean&pack' HOWEVER did throw everything into truck on a rainy morning first trip out with PuP(would have to leave by noon anyhow). Ran home popped him up - dried him out - repacked & ready for next trip.

Never really paid attention, we start around 11 and make sure we take our time. Have a tradition of drinking a "break camp beer" and you know the noon rule and all.....But I would guess it takes about two hours, we put everything in its place prior to leaving.

To get out of the park, 30 minutes, then at home about another 45 minutes to unload and clean up. That's with my wife helping and my two little girls not running wild. I keep a bottle of Bass Boat Saver in the camper to wipe it down as we camp. That stuff helps repel dirt as we travel as well.

20 minutes -- 30 at most! But we don't bring the amazing amount of "stuff" I see posted above!

Roll the sleeping bags and and store behind the sofa with the bag chairs we stored last night after the campfire, finish the breakfast dishes, fold the tents in, hook up, drive away. We rarely have more then electric so the hoses and sewer connection aren't figured here.

Clean as you go is the watchword.

From start to finish, I think it realistically takes about an hour. However, we have it down pat, like a fine-tuned machine. The kids help; they know their jobs. Everything has a place. Clean as you go is indeed key: we never have dishes waiting to be done. We mop and clean the toilet just before we pull out. At home: grab the dirty clothes and food from fridge; that's it. Not that I'm a neat freak :-) but I don't like clutter.

Yeah, my DW is queen of "stuff we MUST bring", and the list gets longer every year. *sigh*

When TRAVELING 40 minutes from the first move until we're getting in the truck. If we've been somewhere CAMPING for a few days you can add about 10 minutes to that to account for picking up misc. stuff and putting it away.

I can be out of there in 30 minutes, 20 if I hurry.
