Sorry to tell you this but the wife and I drove our two younger kids on a 10 day camping trip through New Brunswick and PEI in 2002, and I got tennis elbow from hoisting the gear in and out of the roof carrier of the van, and it took almost a year (!!!!) before I completely recovered, although I wasn't lmited in any way. It was just sore. You're younger than I was then, so probably you'll heal faster.
