Just thought I would ask fellow pathfinder owners how long does it actually take to erect the camper with and without the awning?  I reckon you would get faster with practice.

The main camper takes 30ish minutes and the awning is around another 50 - 60 minutes.

Oh are we including talking time? If that's the case then about 3 hours.

For the first week I must admit I practiced every night and we now have it down to a fine art - probably 20 minutes from unhitching - I do the outside and my partner does the inside.  We've only had it for a month but have already been to three sites and spent a total of 15 nights away and have never had a camper before - can't get much more new to it than that.

In my defence all 11 pairs of curtains were in the same bag that took me ages to sort out.

Main unit is about 20-25* mins and another 35-40* mins for the awning with two of us helping and one 8 year old assisting?

*By the way this doesn't include talking or drinking time. If you go on a meet with the owners club it takes about two hours to get set up.
