separate video to ensure you get correct Tnuts for Tune M1 or 45 series Tslot:
• T-nut Sizing for 40 & ...
This video shows some good hangers and the correct bolt lengths that will work in the Tune M1 Camper Tslot, or 45 series T-slot.
I like M8 bolts because they are beefy and strong enough to hold body weights on handles. I want all my Tnuts and bolts to be same size, so I can use one Allen wrench and not have to be matching nuts, bolts, and wrench sizes while camping! All the same, all fit together, all hold full weight, all use same 6mm Allen Wrench.
Here are some useful links. I don't get anything from these, but hopefully someday I will become an affiliate and get a small commission from these, at no cost to you:

Thanks Pipes, , Im thinking of attacking a tarp as an awning to the top rail stretching out to telescoping poles and wondering if you think I should use hangers or eye bolts. Last thing i want is to deform the T-slots. I imagine most the force from winds would be straight out from the Tune side . Any thoughts on this ?.

[@dave_in_az]

I think the forces are small and outward pull, so all would be the same. I am also looking at a tarp solution... looked at awnings at OEW, but all heavy and expensive. Interested in what you do!
