I don't have your rig, but used very hot water to get sugar pine sap off my truck may work in your situation.

Butter, no kidding. If it’s warm out just take a pad of butter and work it into the sap spots and they’ll come off.. It does take a little elbow grease but it works.

Hot water and just a little dawn dish soap once the bigger pieces have come off.

That why PUGs are so important. If you had them on, they would protect the canvas from sap.
Lot easier to clean sap off of a PUG, than the Tent canvas.

if the sap is on the vinyl then use a little mineral spirits on a rag and it comes right off... finish up with soap and water

Use Rubbing Alcohol to remove tree sap

We camp regularly in Fort Wilderness at Disney and there are pine trees that drop sap. Nothing we tried would take it off, then someone said to use rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer (contains alcohol) It worked GREAT and left no nasty residue like some other chemicals. Try it and you will be amazed!

Get yourself some Goo Gone, won't harm anything and works great.

WD40 on the vinyl. We've always used PUG's, that's one of the reasons, many others also.
