I am curious to know how much time Trailmanor owners spend breaking camp. My wife and I, generally speaking, enjoy our 2005 Trailmanor 3124 KS, but what we are finding is the time we spend preparing to leave and breaking camp is starting to wear on us.

While at camp and getting ready to break camp, we notice that those with 5th wheels and standard travel trailers start a significant time after we start and are generally finished and heading down the road in minutes.

It seems to take us hours to break camp. Now, I will admit that we are not fully engaged in breaking camp during the time but we do feel that it does take a lot of effort.

Going through the check list to make sure everything is properly stowed; pulling off the walls everything that was hung - cabinets and other items, putting everything away that we have to make the camping experience enjoyable seems to take quiet a bit of effort.

The actual closing the camper and hooking up is short comparatively speaking to the rest of the process.

It has gotten to the point that we are seariously given consideration to moving up to a 5th wheel.

We are reluctant to take the camper on a long trip as the time spent opening/closing - i.e. setting up camp and breaking camp is too long for our likes.

Perhpas others on this forum may provide some ideas as to how we may make this process move along with less effort.

Thanks
