Camplet Pole Repair with future damage prevention

I have a used Camplet trailer tent (Apollo I think) that has the usual bent pole problem.
Here is my solution, which hopefully means that I won't face this problem again.
The dowell is 20mm diameter.
i had a bit of a mix-up over wood vs metal drill bits. Need to take more care when choosing tools.
The job went very well overall, I'm pleased with the result.
