When we arrive the Mrs sorts all the inside of the Caravan out and poor old me always does the outdoor, we share the task of putting the awning up and domestics are becoming rare now.
And is it always the men that manage the chemical waste mind you we have a ruling No 1's only and whoever gets caught short for No 2's has the honour.
welll.... we shut the dogs in the car and the kids in the caravan then me and hubby do the awning and put the kettle on or open the beer depending on how stressfull awning erection is! Hubby always does the loo, I always do the bed ( we have the setees that u turn into a bed) and our eldest daughter does the caravan legs. Thats it really, sometimes our son does the aquaroll if we bully him suffiently! Its quite a smooth operation but we find that until the awning is up and the seats are set up in it we dont relax!
I do everything! the towing, erecting the awning, the cooking, cleaning, washing, the water,the loo the lot. I have for the last 5 year or so since my lady's Rheumatoid Arthritis got worse. but its a privelidge and a pleasure to look after her, as she did for me when she could! Yes it can be hard BUT I can't wait for the next trip
------------- Life is our Holiday enjoy it before its time to go back!
Wife does the towing and the sorting of the inside. I do the outside and the toilet and the fresh water along with sorting out the EHU and the gas connection Its soon gets all sorted and not many domestics
I used to do the inside stuff hubby the outside stuff, I've always towed as I felt it was important incase something happened like a broken leg and we needed to get the van home, so we take turns, but since my husband was diagnosed with Primary progressive MS I wanted to learn to do as much as I can, as the nature of the disease means deterioration :( , so I am now fully efficient in the art of levelling awning erecting loo emptying water hog rolling ect, the only thing I fall short at is motor mover engaging lol I put the spanner thing in take the strain ready to pull it over and aghhhhhhhh try to pull it over, I always land flat in my bum!!! That said this time I did it in two goes, so either I'm getting good or I'm getting a fine set of muscles!!
If you are ever on site and see a woman lying flat out on the ground by the van, say hi it's probably me!!!
I think women clean the toilet at home is because its one of those things where you judge a persons home cleanliness by their toilet..well i do..also it flushes and all is gone.Sad to say,the mrs does everything due to a condition ive got except empty the loo in the van..im working on that one
I do whatever needs doing whenever it needs doing Anne supervises.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013
OH levels, I plug in the electrics, he turns the gas on and sorts out waste pipes, I go and get the fresh water, we both put the awning up. If we have stuff in the car, he'll empty it and I'll put it away. Either one of us will empty the waste or cassette. Oh and I usually get the early morning dog walk!
I travel down with the kids do all towing ,sort van out and put awning up between us DH if he's coming usually arrives once everything is down I empty chemical waste. Although don't have as far to travel now as van is in storage down south.

I do the inside and OH does the outside when we are arriving/going home and the rest of the time we take it in turns to do whatever needs emptying/filling including the loo!

Unfortunately it is the other way around for us and I am the one that has to watch the missus doing all the chores although I do try and help as much as possible with the porch awning.

Its a mystery!
I think you've just given me my perfect explanation line! In fairness, he has said he's happy to take on the job but I now have a rationale for it too
