Yeah, I understand. I think it can be corrected, we didn't have
enough rain to do much experimenting. I do think that the holes
drilled in the aluminum blocks that hold the side poles could be
angled more to the van.

Also, guying down the outboard edge of the awining when it is raining
does reduce this problem a lot.

PS. Jake, nip down to Wolfgang and ask him what he thinks about this.

Small thing?  In my view that's a deal breaker.  I had a feeling that
it might work that way, which is why I haven't bought one, even
though Wolfgang lives just a few blocks away. Thanks for the report
though.
