Hello Tom -
It sounds like you might have one of our original Kickstarter tents that was not set up to have side canopy windows with tension rods. The good news is that we are able to help you retrofit on the side canopy poles and receivers if you reach out to our awesome customer service team at support@ikamper.com. We want to make sure you have a great experience and would love to help set you up with side windows that canopy out on your new conversion kit.
Thanks!
“Got the first generation ikamper tent in 2018. Its traveled the world. Now residing in Honolulu Hawaii. Just upgraded to the generation 3 canvas. Absolutely love the look. Took me a bit to figure the installation out but one hour later wala a brand new look.”
“Straight forward install and instructions online. Finished removing my 2.0 skin and installing the 3.0 skin in less than 40 minutes. Love the results, color scheme, and draw string windows! Feels like a new tent all over again!”
