Dont you have a caravan fairy? We do. Or at least, my OH thinks we do.
When he gets home from work, all clothes for our trip have been washed and ironed and packed away in the van, down to the last sock and pant. All the towels are in the designated locker and all the bedding is fresh, folded and packed away. Magic! The bathroom is stocked with toiletries and loo roll! Even air freshner and nice hand soap. She's a clever fairy! All the walking boots, wellies, crocs etc are in a box all ready. The fridge is cold, and full of food and beer! The cupboards are stocked with all manner of goodies, and theres a box of heavy stuff (tins, bottles etc) on the floor. Voila! The awning, poles, windbreak, barbeque, charcoal and telly have all thrown themselves in too. Folding Chairs and a table with a swish of her wand! She even remembers the dog's bed! Bless her. And for long journeys, she even manages to throw a picnic together, with fresh juice and a flask of hot coffee! Awww, what a thoughtful fairy!! So when he gets in can say "What have you been doing all day? And are we ready then?"
Sarcastic?? Moi??

Takes us about an hour. My wife sorts out the inside, cleans, washes up, puts everything in its place. I take down the porch awning, then do the water, toilet and electric, put mirrors on. Then I have a look inside to check its all in the right place, roof lights, lockers etc fastened, set fridge, switch off electrics etc. Hitch up and off, stopping at the toilet on the way out.
We tow with everything in its normal place, just the awning and satellite case in the middle on the floor, electric & step by the door.
