When I cover our Southwind I stack the cover on the ground at the rear of the RV. The back of the cover is on the bottom, the front on top.
It's as if you lifted the front of the RV, with the cover installed, and it slid off onto a pile at the rear.
I get on the roof, pull the cover up from the rear of the RV and walk it front. I push the sides down as I walk front. When I get near the front I stand on the installed section and push the rest into place.
Then I get on the ground and fasten it in place.
I do it myself and it takes about 30 minutes, it depends on how slow I'm moving that day.
It's a relatively simple process. If you have help it's easier, but it's easy to do it alone.
