Thanks, I thought you had sloped the awning. I just went out a lower both sides as far as they would go. The awing fabric was making contact with my slide. I then retracted the awing and as it goes back it goes up so there was not problem with clearance when retracting.
Then the set the left side all the way up and dropped the right side three notches to get slope to the awning. When I retraced it with one side full up and the other three down, it retracted fine.
I don't have much awning/rain experience except this little ditty.
About 7 years ago I had a KZ Industries Toy Hauler with an awning. I had the awing extended and staked back with tie downs. We had a huge rain storm one night. I got up in the morning and could not open my main door. I went out the rear door and the awing had so much water in it that the front awning extrusion was bowed in about a foot of so the the awning was dipping down in the center a couple of feet. I was thinking I would have to cut it until I came up with the idea to wrap a weight around one end of a garden hose, toss it up there and siphon the water out.
I was a really wet year here in the desert. I just left the awning retracted the rest of the year.
