How about cam-locks or inflated tubes to rigidify the shell. Is it rigid or flexible when not fastened to the bed?
Thanks Freebeard!

I like the idea of cam-locks. I have some familiarity with sail camber inducers which might have an application here... I need to think about it.
The frame is rigid, but the cover is flexible when it is not connected to the bed.
