My ac roof unit came in yesterday!! My question now is how do I actually get it on top of the trailer to install it, the darn thing weighs 90 pounds? My husband can wire it up but I’m just wondering how to get it in place?

Very carefully !..
Seriously... place some boards or sheets of plywood on the trailer roof to protect the finish and spread DH's weight. Keep the unit in it's shipping box to protect it.
Some ideas... rope, a pulley, and a tree... Second floor garage window... Two ladders and two people, lift it between the two people

I back the truck to the side of the trailer, two people lift it up and set it on a piece of cardboard so it will slide easy. Remove cardboard when you have it over the hole.
