You don't need a week.� You don't even need a day.� You can probably
have a test tunnel working (on your computer) in less than an hour. Then
maybe a few more hours to get it to work on your existing equipment
(router) robustly and automatically on reboot.
I encourage you to spend that initial hour.� I think� you will find that
will be time well spent.
Hurricane Electric does have something else that will take more time,
maybe a few minutes a day over a month or so.� Their IPv6 training
program (I last looked a number of years ago) is a good introduction to
IPv6 in general.� Once you complete it, they'll even send you a shirt as
a nice perk.
Note:� H.E. IPv6 training is independent and not required for their
IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel service.
but, I assume you need a static IPv4 address.
Nope.� Not really.
You do need a predictable IPv4 address.� I'm using a H.E. tunnel on a
sticky IP (DHCP with long lease and renewals) perfectly fine.
If your IP does change, you just need to update the tunnel or create a
new one to replace the old one.� This is all manged through their web
interface.
Here is an short read on the acceptance and usage of IPv6:

So, yes I am working on using IPv6, with my RV/mobile-lab.
