Hi Volks,

When I harvested the roof for my Baywindow westfakia back in the fall of
2000, I took two trips. On the first trip for (60 milesfrom home) I took
the fibreglass and plywood bits, and a second trip for the metal bits.
It wasn't difficult for 2 people to manhandle any of the parts.

But if you weren't going to take it apart first, then you definitely
want 4 people minimum. A vanagon roof is about 10% wider than a
baywindow, and probably about that much heavier as a result.

FWIW, I have also helped install a sportsmobile top on a bay, and that's
a 4-person job as well.

Happy Trails,
