Need a little bit of a history lesson.  I have a side tent for a Dutchman 2009 t@b (U shape no bathroom).  The tent pictured attaches via keder rail.  It came with the t@b when purchased and I was the third owner of the t@b.  I believe original purchase by owner #1.  This tent is in fabulous shape.  I have really enjoyed the quality of this tent.  However, could someone on this forum site inform as to the maker or name of the tent.  It is not a Walker, not a Pahaque and not an Isabella.  Tent has cam lock poles which support from side of t@b to outer edge.  Thank you in advance.  FYI, am selling the tent as I have traded in my t@b for a trailer with a bathroom and sadly I am no longer an owner of my t@b.  I know the quality of the accessories with the t@b and I want to be clear about the references so I can answer questions about the tent.

    That is the original canopy or awning sold by Dutchman as an accessory for the T@B.  It is a copy of the Isabella Sun Canopy produced in the USA by National Tent & Awning in Goshen Indiana (NLA).  Very high quality and durable.

    Looking for tips on how erect this thing!
    This looks like the same awning that I inherited with my 2014 T@B 320 S. Are there any tips for erecting it? It looks really solid, but the one time I tried to put it up I was under duress. The specific challenge was attaching the wing fasteners to to the cross bars. It seemed near impossible to attach all the cross bars after the awning was threaded into the keder rail.

    Thank you @rfuss928 - the instructions are hugely helpful. I'll try attaching the cross bars to the outer support first and then to the tabs near the keder rail.

    @Mellow-Yellow, I have the same awning, but in the Flower Power print.  I have lost all but two of those black end caps.  Ugh.  I've also got a wing fastener that's ripped from it's location.  Wish I could find some more end caps.

    @TABaker - maybe have them 3D printed.

    I inherited this awning, but the poles are missing. Anyone know of a source to replace the poles? Or maybe willing to sell their setup?
