Well before we started to full time, we would keep the 5er ready to go! We had about a weeks worth of both summer and winter cloths in the closets. The bed was always made fresh sheets after each trip. Non perishable food all cloths worn during the trip taken home washed and returned. Propane tank refilled this all during the week following the trip. We kept the 5er in a storage lot about two miles from our house.
When heading out for a trip the house refer contents were placed in the ice chest and taken to the 5er.
Best time ever was 1 hour and 15 minuets from me leaving work (5 miles from house) to come home, place hitch in truck, and air up the tires, empty the refer, grab dog and bed. Then drive the two miles to the storage lot, hook up and be leaving the lot!
