folks, thanks to a few helpful listmemebers and another call to Dometic A&E,
i have sourced the vanagon raingutter clamps for the Dometic A&E  Trans-Awn
2000 and Catalina 2500 awnings...
the new Dometic A&E part number is 930035 for the vanagon raingutter adapter
kit..
its not cheap though..  $89 for the kit.. :<(   CampingWorld has them for $10
less:
