As a single person, covering the RV (even a small class C like mine) is a 5+ hour job.
Seriously? 5+ hours?
I do our 37' Southwind, by myself, in about 30-35 minutes. If I have help it's quicker.
Trying to get it over all the little stuff sticking up off the roof, having to move the ladder around to reach it and be able to pull it over those things, having one side slide off while trying to get the other over one of those things, etc. I hated it. 5+ hours might be exaggerating, but it was more of a pain than it was worth for me.
And for me, there is no "getting help" - if I can't do it by myself, it can't get done.
Now, it may be that with a rig 40 years old, the roof parts are installed differently and have edges, corners, lips, etc., that newer rigs don't have. So my experience may be due more to my individual rig.
