I installed mine as well (65 years old), at a total price of under $700. Took a couple of hours. Hardest part is getting it on and off the roof. An extension ladder and helper are required for that. Others will come along and explain the procedure. It's not hard at all.
Me too (64 years old) I have done it twice, the last time it was on an Airstream so I rented a fork lift and used a pallet for a working platform. I had the forklift and a 12' ladder delivered for 24 hours for about $150.
Both times I did it by myself, with just a ladder I leaned it against the awning tube protecting it with a towel, left the AC in the box, wrapped it in a strap and pulled it up with a rope.
With plenty of time to prep before and lots of time for the finishing touches it turned out 100 times better than a dealer installed unit.
