The easiest method is a 2 person procedure. Get two long broom handles. Lay the cover on the ground inside out. (reversed). Start at front by placing the broom handles into the front corner area. Then just lift up the handles simultaneously and walk the cover towards the rear of the camper. It's pretty easy as long as the broom handles or poles your using are long enough to get over the A/C unit. Since the cover was reversed on the ground and its lifted rearward, it lays on the roof top with the correct side up. Easy.

Thanks!   one more quick question.  My TV antenna (nonretractible), the front arm points straight up and the back arm points backward at a 45-degree angle. Is this how they're supposed to be ?? It gets good reception.

Stephen's method 2 is what I do.  Couldn't see dragging it over the items on top including the television antenna.]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2017 10:38:49 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10282&PID=96572#96572 Putting onR-pod cover : X2 on method #2 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10282&PID=96558#96558 Author: Steve 911

Method 1: Lay it flat. Roll both sides to the middle. then you have a long, skinny (relatively) bundle. Tie a rope to pull it up over, then get a ladder and unroll the sides.

Method 2: This starts the same as method 1 by rolling the sides. Then roll from the ends to the middle. Use a ladder and carry this bundle up to the top and unroll it toward the front and back, then unroll the sides.

Method 3: Lay the cover on the ground spread out with the front toward the trailer's front and the back stretched out away from the trailer. Take two poles and attach one to each of the back corners. With another person helping, lift the cover over the top of the 'Pod.

I'm sure there are other methods as well. Find one that works for you. I find method 2 works best for me if I have to do it alone. Method 3 is better if you have help.

Okay, so I bought a 2013 R-176 and am trying to put thecover on – it’s 100+ degrees here and I won’t be camping for a couplemonths.   Any suggestions how one personcan put the cover on??? I’ve spent 1-1/2 hours and finally got it half on, onlyto have it hang up on the AC/TV antenna. Help!
