Had the short 815 awning fabric replaced with the 845 fabric. Awning now opens fully with arms straight. Still have problems with rain puddling in center of awning. At the Tampa RV show I noticed that all the high end RV's (Prevost, Newell, etc) have awnings that come out almost flat and they all have a couple of brass grommeted holes to allow for drainage. I decided to try it myself. Made hole in awning at low point and installed a brass grommet. Looks like it should prevent the swimming pool effect. Haven't had a good rain storm to check it out yet. Will report back when I do.
