We have a full off road camper trailer and have the set up and pack down worked out like clockwork. Eight to twelve minute partial (overnight) set up and about about fifteen to pack down the same, so, it's not much of a show.
It's funny to see people set up their deck chairs to watch the show and then moments later it's like, done, and I'm sitting on my deck chair with a beverage watching them back. 👀
It's the newbies that have me concerned. Because of Covid and the lock downs, people have bought all these caravans and have never done it before. Hit the road, totally unprepared, and often dangerously overloaded. Scary!
Yep, the overload situation is not good.
I have a LandCruiser and did a GVM upgrade to ensure I could carry/tow the loads without breaking the law or voiding my insurance. It's too much to lose just for the sake or $3,000 or suspension, engineering certificate and going over the pit at the DMV. I was doing the lift anyway, just made sense to pay the extra $600 for the engineering and inspection.
Glad you did. To many dodgy rigs on the road.
