Removal is pretty straightforward.  Just remove fasteners ..hinges, tent
bottom etc.

3 people could lift it off..
4 would be better.
and still not easy ....like are they going to stand on step ladders ..or ?

much much better is to lift it off from overhead with a come-along winch ..
then drive van out,
then lower top to saw horses.

btdt, Scott
