Every time we hitch up the car we have a routine ... a check list.  Windows up, fan off, transmission in neutral, brake off, key turned just so, braking system plugged it ... and that's just inside the car! 

Outside there are four different connections to make, and then Bill goes in the motorhome and I stand outside and we check the lights.  Then I have him pull forward to make sure the hitch looks right and the wheels on the car turn.  It's quite a production!!  We're used to it though, and it only takes about ten or fifteen minutes to do the whole thing. 

In the motorhome we have to do the dishes, put everything away inside, unhook the outside water, electricity and the drain, pull the slides in, bring the jacks up, make sure the dog isn't somewhere she shouldn't be (like on the dashboard!) and then we can go.  The whole process with both car and motorhome is about an hour. 

Before we get TOO far down the road, we have to find a gas station that's got the pumps in the right place and enough room to get our rig in there.  With the car hitched on we're 55 feet long and we can't back up (the front wheels of the car would crank sideways, which would be very bad), so we're limited in where we can go.

I do loads of research to find campgrounds that are in the places we want to go.  While Bill drives, I do navigation and hopefully I don't get us into a place where we can't get out!

Ahhhhhhh ... home!

On the flip side ... there's no grass to cut, so boy, are we making out like bandits!  LOLOL!!
