I haven't done a whole canvas, but had to remove the hold-down piece over
the slider to put up a home-made awning. I think you can do the whole thing
with mostly a screwdriver, but I think there are somewhere around 100
screws, so unless you have a ratchet drive, it might get tiring. The
mattresses seem to get in the way as well, so it seems more awkward than
plain difficult. The procedure might be covered in the Bentley manual. I
think I recall seeing it there.
