I notice people are saying the kitchen is a problem. I love it where it is located. The fridge is right there next to all the food and stove. The stove / sink is so easy to access especially when just stopping for a cuppa tea break. Further my preference is to
cook outdoors (mostly on the fire) - tried cooking inside once and nearly choked to death. The travelander comes with (ours does anyway) gas port and water lines on the inside so I can setup the stove / sink inside if the weather is so bad.
For unloading -
well it takes 10mins - or less time than it takes for my friends who have just tent and gear to unload their vehicle - lots less time and that does not include them setting up. Loading up is a bit longer - 15mins.
But to setup while still on the back - say when you pull up for an overnighter -
well that is 2mins and I can crawl into the already made bed and with no effort at all (except my thumb on the button).
As with any
campsite I choose the location so I can drive straight out from underneath so need a car length in front of me but that is not much. Never had a problem settling even with beach camping but have not set up on the soft part of a beach.
It is a big investment - I went for the everything in it model and the price was just unbeatable to other units if you checked off all the accessories. Then the ease of setting up which stops those arguments when setting up. Happy life.
