When taking the roof down, just be a little more aggressive: get up on that step stool and give the pole a real good lift, strong enough so the rear roof disengages. It might take holding it there for a second or two so the rear roof can start falling. If you can get the roof up with the stool, you should be able to take it down that way too. I actually do this from the ground, but you may need the extra elevation of the stool.? And I second the advice to use a sponge mop to raise the roof from the inside. I open the camper, use the wind pole to prop the roof partly open, then crawl inside, grab my conveniently-stored ?sponge mop, and use it to raise the roof the rest of the way. If it doesn¡¯t quite set in place, I use the mop to push the place that¡¯s not locked in so I¡¯m sure it¡¯s settled. Then I¡¯m already inside, so I raise the sides and lock the latches and I¡¯m good to go. If you find you can¡¯t quite lock those latches you¡¯ll know the roof isn¡¯t quite locked in, so this is a good safety check too.?

You don't have to push high up, just as high as you can reach.? That will disengage the roof at the peak, and the rear roof should drop down, but only a foot or so.?? --
