You will not require a crane or forklift, but if you have one handy, it can help a LOT. The weight is only about 100 - 145 pounds, so not a do it yourself job, but a couple of close friends, it is pretty easy, especially if you can park a pickup next to the RV, and be 5' off the ground when you lift the A/C up to the 11 or 12' tall roof.
Having the forklift with a nice solid top pallet will also be handy, so you can stand on it while lifting the A/C onto the roof. It also gives you a place to put the A/C instead of setting it on the roof and possibly damage the roof from the bottom of the A/C unit.
The wiring is pretty simple. If you have a wired thermostat, mainly found on ducted A/C units, make sure that you write down the wire connections and terminal letters.
I also think that a 10 MFD capacitor will fix the problem for about $10. Unless the fan motor will not turn on it's own while not plugged in.
