Check the truck camper forum... "truck camper university" I think it is.
You can get some "awning rail" attach it to the side of your camper, and follow the rest of the directions there using a standard plastic tarp. I picked up my awning rail from brunner enterprises in New York, bing will get their URL (brunnerent.com I think) for you. Going to just screw it only my camper with some sealant, etc, and use "sail slides" to attach the tarp to the awning rail. Use some aluminum poles for the stays, etc, and you're good to go.
you can get sail slides pretty cheap from sailrite.com.

I'm finding it may be cheaper to just outright buy an awning on E Bay than try to fabricate one, using awning material. I don't want a plastic tarp, I've camped a few nights in wind with a semi-permanent installation and the racket is merciless.
Edit: Did you use something like these Slug bails to run in the Awning rail or is there a full length piece that can be sewn into a welt?
