Lets say youre going away for a long weekend in your van.
How long does it take you, from getting out of bed (or home from work) to driving off?
Discount any time spent cleaning the house etc (I hate going away and leaving a messy house). Only include time directly related to going away for the weekend.
I would say, on a good day we can be up and out in about 2 hours (this includes sorting/packing clothes and various other bits n pieces, putting in food, getting van out, filling her with water, organising cat sitter, feeding fish etc.
How long does it take you?
______________________________________________________________ Breathe in, breathe out, move on
Because the van is at the side of the house bits and pieces are put in the van during the preceding few days, as well as all the stuff that stays in the van.
I can fill the water up the day before so apart from putting the milk from the house fridge into the van fridge everything is ready to go.
I have to move the car off the drive, get the van out and then put the car back on the drive, so all in all maybe half an hour.
Probably a couple of hours at the moment as it is not stored at home. When it is I reckon we can be away in an hour i the shopping is all done (but then we keep most things in it anyway except food and our clothes)
Get home - drop car keys - pick up van keys - back out of door - leave.
What would take any longer?
Regards
Brian
PS - May take longer if dog has decided to take himself for a walk and has gone AWOL

My van lives at work. I usually manage to do food shopping at lunchtime if going away. As soon as I arrive home I top up with water, get changed and am ready. My delay is waiting for son to finish school before I can depart. It will be worse in retirement for weekends but a plus during school holidays

We are pretty quick but this latest trip to Europe seems to have taken an age to organise. Hasnt helped us both being ill but it just seems to have been a pain to get organised.
