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?
