Hi, Henry -
Last year, my wife and I took a four-week trip in the TM. The first week was set-up-and-take-down-every-night, as we made our way from Phoneix to Banff (Canadian Rockies) and then to Yellowstone. The second and third weeks were a permanent setup in Yellowstone. The fourth week was set-up-and-take-down-every-night again, as we went from Yellowstone to Maine. Everything worked out fine.
For Yellowstone, we made advance reservations, of course. But when we are travelling every day, we follow BobRederick's procedure. We carry the Good Sam Big Book of Campgrounds, and an hour or two before we want to stop, we look up a campground and call ahead to make sure we can get in when we arrive. This allows us to dawdle for a couple hours at places like The World's Largest Truck Stop (it's in Iowa), or drive til we drop to get some distance behind us. We're not tied down by pre-made reservations.
Your comfort zone may be different, of course, but this has worked well for us.
Bill
