Good canvas on the camplet,but it can't be folded neatly because you push it back from the kitchen before closing the lid.But,when you next put it up,it will be fine. As for washing,it will be due for a scrub in a decade or so.Have a look at the Tencate web site for cleaning,but in a nut shell,use a soft brush on  dirt as long as it has dried ,good old British weather does the rest. You can wipe down the mud walls(just water,detergents are deadly to canvas and you are bound to get some on it).

When folding up my Savanne, I follow the instructions from the hand-over demo at Camperlands.

After letting the canvas body drop back into the trailer and removing the key pole:

1. Fold back the PVC section below the front windows so that it lies neatly (clear of where the kitchen will sit).
2. Pull out the canvas at one side so it forms a triangle, fold that in half (so the edge meets the side of the trailer) to make a smaller triangle, then pull it up and over to sit in the trailer body.
3. Repeat with the other side.
4. Pull up the canvas skirt at each side and the back, and make 'hospital corners' so it forms a neat border all around.
5. Secure the left hand side canvas (trailer top) with the bungees supplied.
6. Close the trailer.

It seems to work quite well and any creases fall out quickly anyway.
