Kind of depends on a few factors. Short trips, like the upcoming long weekend, probably the week prior, although we do have a box inside that we start putting snacks and stuff in from quite a few weeks out sometimes. Makes it less noticeable than one big shop for food.
I might open the van up the weekend prior.
Longer trips we probably start a bit earlier but rarely longer than 3 weeks prior. The van needs very little prep work, which was the main reason for going that route. It's just food and clothes that have to go in. Bedding generally stays in.
Once we get home from a trip we pull everything out, wash what needs washing etc, then put it back before closing it down. It's 90% ready for next trip then.
