Who is camping soonest then?

Yes

 

Depends, if Ms.T comes then I lose, if I'm by myself then pop top, open beer & I'm camping

 

No

 

I just park up, pull out the bed and plug in the hook up

 

i just pull up.

 

Sorry a bit slower

Dogs tied up
Pop top up
Swivel seat turned
Beer open

 

we take about 3 seconds give or take 2hrs. but we dont like going shopping on the way .

 

At Brighton in a couple of weeks, I will be set up in minutes.
I will pop up a pop up tent and throw everything in the van into said tent.
Then I'll open a couple of chairs and a couple of beers.
When I go away for a fortnight, I take enough for a month.

 

i'd say @zed wins - I myself prefer the take your time approach - usually because I have to plumb the "kitchen sink" in.....

 

Setting up the satellite dish and tuning in the tv can take a while especially if we need to put the dish onto the 20' pole first and peg in the four guy ropes. Once that's done and we've used the satellite finder to make sure we've got all the channels on the tv the rest is quite quick.
Levelling the van with the spirit level and chocks takes only 30mins and The awning takes only 45 mins to erect and once that's done the toilet tent is even quicker although getting the toilet perfectly level and filled with chemicals takes a while.
We also put up three windbreaks and transfer the spare gas bottle and gas BBQ to the awning with the pop up larder, kwik erect tables and use the mobile compressor to pump up the chairs. Occasionally we forget to put the awning carpet down first so emptying the awning, laying the carpet, and refilling the awning can easily eat up another hour.

Nearly ready for camping now, just the fire pit and supply of logs to remove from the van and put in the wood store plus the campbeds setting up not forgetting the screw thing that stops the dog running away. Sometimes we shorten the whole thing by not putting up the flag pole, flag and fairy lights and just make do with the portable generator hooked up to the flood lights.
Then we just make the tea and we're camping!

 

ahhh so it isn't just us then.

 

Only three and a half hours after arriving at a campsite we're ready to sit and take the Micky out of caravan owners who faff about taking ages to set up

 

Booo

 

I just walk ouside to the bus with a cup of tea I made in the kitchen, get in and thats it. Im also getting pretty good petrol consumption figures and service intervals are quite long.

 

I camped in my drive once ,still took me 45 min to get there and set up.

 

I can't afford the petrol to camp on my drive.
