Most dreaded set-up chore

[Popups4Rent]

I 3rd the bunk end supports, I am to tall to be doing that kind of stuff, and the kids are not yet mighty enough.

I put an 18 volt flashlight on the back of my camper and back by myself. Sometimes my 9 DS helps, but when backing up the camper or hooking up the trailer my DW and I have a comlpete communication meltdown :eyecrazy:

My least favorite chore is moving all the stuff inside the camper outside so I can set up the galley and then moving all that stuff back in so I can set up the rest of the inside!

The post quoted above pretty much matches my thoughts on this. Cranking the top was a problem, but I bought a Drill and that became easy. Next was setting up the inside, which for me was quite a bit to do, not simply swing the galley into place but set-up all the other stuff too...I carried Microwave, TV, game sys for the kids etc... Yeah too much stuff for camping I suppose, but it kept everyone happy.
 
The Hybrid is so much easier, everything is already set-up and in it's place, about all I have to do now is deploy the awning, and unlike that crazy pole scheme on the PU the roll out one is a 10 second job!

So, whats the most dreaded set-up chore with a hybrid then?
 
I agree, awnings can be a pain.....especially when the wind is blowing. If thats the case when we're camping, we wait until it dies down. Of course, that option isn't available when it's time to pop-down!
 
My most dreaded is parking the camper when there are low-hanging branches around. Gotta stop and remove the bikes first.

No you don't.        :p

Dh does most of the setup and he doesn't seem to mind lighting the fridge and the WH very much.  Small tip for those of you who don't light it often enough to keep the critters out -- canned air blows out the spiderwebs and dead bugs so it's easier to light.    

But of the part I do, the bungee cords are a pain around the bottom of the bunk.  I have really sensitive skin and pulling the cords tight I'd always cut or tear my skin on something.  I now keep gardening gloves right inside the door so I can wear those and it seems to help, although it's harder to feel for the hooks.
 
But the "dreaded" part of setup is worth the time out camping anyday.

That's exactly why I bought a Hybrid
