Awning mod

Thanks for the detail pictures. I get it now. My efforts to use a 8 foot tent pole did not work because I could not thread the tarp through the channel without it getting snagged on the sharp edge of the channel. It seemed more work than reward. I will go back to the creative drawing board and try your approach.

Yes the round part slides into the rails. Their are many shapes and sizes of slugs. They would be cheaper and lighter than the bolts. The rail on my trailer is 14mm diameter

The "T Strap Bolts" you pictured are essentially what I made for my awning mod. Mine have a bend so that they will be at the correct angle to hold the poles in place at the bottom track on the R-Pod. I did not know they were available ready-made as I did not see any at my local hardware stores. If I had found them, it would have saved some time. Mine were a learning experience though as it gave me more practice with the flux welder I had originally purchased when I wanted to try making a generator mount. That did not work out, but the awning parts did.

Any pics on this one with the bolt heads.   Unfortunately I don't own a sewing machine or zipper foot.   Own the tarp and poles though.   Is the dome that difficult? seems no one uses it.

Nice work on awning. We built an extra awning for over night stays while traveling. We use the dome most of the time. Where did you get the tire cover?
