I just park it and let the place I use for storage clean it all. I'm paying for it so nice to just unload clothing and leave the rest to them.. Rig is like new inside and out when I pick her up next time.. Absolutely love it!

Congratulations on the 50 years.

I am divorced so I clean the fiver and the truck, inside and out. Come to think of it, when I had a DW, I cleaned the fiver and the truck, inside and out. Maybe that's why..............?

I handle everything with the camper. She handles the house. The kids carry everything from one to the other.
DW gets all the stuff together for the trips, the kids tote it to the camper and I pack the camper. When we get home I gather everything in the camper, the kids tote it back to the house and DW takes care of it from there. Then I get the camper cleaned up.
We are fortunate to have the camper parked beside the house so that the steps unfold onto the driveway next to the garage door.

She has more energy than I do,.......I can't help it.....
I have to trick her into procrastinating. Whenever we come back from a trip, I simply drive the rig all the way into the backyard (a straight shot). I connect the shore power, and we go into the house. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow,....right?? I tell her she needs her rest, in the jacuzzi tub. End of story.

This is a good topic,,lol,,once we get home and do alil break, my DW and son come out and get all the dirty linen, all the food out of fridge, and take it inside, then they come and get any personal items they had and go inside house, Then I go to work, I purge tanks, clean the inside, wash outside and awning, then park it for our next trip, but we clean up as we go while on trips so alot is done while we are camping. Usually takes a couple hours but its not to bad, But ive been married 18 yrs and my DW loves be catered to on trips so when we get home she is in a good mood,, I do all the cooking and cleaning in the TT so she can relax. I actually enjoy it. Oh i call our routine assembly line maintenance, I bag it and set it on ground outside TT, my son carries it to front door ,,maybe 30 yards, puts it in house at door and DW takes it from there,,lolnow im a week back from our last trip all my linens are folded, and clean on a shelf ready to go back in TT,,,hope this helps,,lol
