It's about a days job to replace the canvas.

New canvas is really nice, feels good inside when sleeping up there, and
the 3 windows are way cool when cooking, etc.

The worst part is the stapling of the back at the hinges. It's very
cramped, don't do it on a hot day! Also, be sure to get yourself an
electric/air stapler, as the plywood that is used to pin too is very hard.

Good luck!
