My class "A" sets up in < 8 minutes from parking to a sip of Port.

Did you add on the time it takes to disconnect the toad?

It took less than 8 minutes to set up our fiver with the HWH leveling
system, including disconnecting the truck.

If I added disconnecting the toad from the class A, it was almost double
the time it took to park and set up the fiver.

Of course YMMV


OK, add 3-4 minutes to disconnect the Nissan. Wife does that while I
do the inside stuff. I am severely motion limited and if I could do
some bending outside, we would still be done in <8 Min. Of course, my
toad is attached, not mounted!

I admit if we have to put boards under the jacks, it takes an extra
3-4 min. But I can knock off the time it takes to put out slides and
put down jacks since that is inside work(?) I also include setting up
the tracker dish and getting a good movie on the tube.

Our 5er took at least 20 min to set up and that was when I could move
a bit.
