I store my cover in a plastic trash can, folded accordion style, so the front of the cover is on top. I put the can in the rear of the RV, grab the top and climb up an 8 ft ladder placed at the rear side corner. I then walk it to the front, and toss it over the front cap. I then unfold it and toss over the side while going to the rear. Yes, you have to coax it over the AC and vent pipe. Then you get down and secure it with the straps.
To remove and store the cover, I unsecure the straps, get on top and pull up the sides, folding each side toward the middle two or three times. I then get down, place the can in the rear, and slowly pull the cover off the roof folding into the can, which means I have the front on top when done. Yes, you may have to get on the roof and release it from a snag, but usually it comes right off.
Make sure your using pool noodles to cover the down spouts, and the door stopper. Use bubble wrap for other sharp edges.
After you do this once, you become an expert! Good luck.
