The toughest part of the install (which I perform alone) is placing the unit on the roof-top.
The method I use is 'The Ramp'...Place 2 wooden 2X8's spaced properly against the roof gutter of the van, 2 or 3 inches over the gutter, then secure together beneath, then also secure the foot of the ramp (which rests on the pavement) with masonry screws. Leave unit crated!!!...Make sure not to intrude on the AC crates sliding up ability. Cover the roof-top with blankets & plywood in the area you are working.
You can either push the crate up from the bottom, or pull from the top, mechanically or physically.
