Does anyone have the new model that BusDepot posted about a couple of months ago? At http://busdepot.com/busdepot/details/awning.jsp. What do you think of it? It looks from the pictures on the BusDepot site as if rain would run off the awning onto the top of the van and then down between awning and van. How does it handle in rain?
