Last trip out for the year 2013 I left the awning out while we went sightseeing on a beautiful day along the coast of Maine. It was tilted some, but as I found on our return, that little shower we had where we were was a CG gully washer and the insufficiently tilted awning couldn't shed water fast enough. $1850 and intimate discussions with the insurance company, we eventually had a complete new assembly. Traded that trailer this summer so we have an electric awning now. Do I leave it out when we 'wander' - yep, but it is tilted to the max. Do I leave it out overnight - yep, and again, tilted to the max. These tilts are usually against prevailing winds plus I usually tie it down too though the new power awning doesn't have a way to use the standard deflappers I have so they need some design revisiting.
