On the awnings I've had on previous trailers, I could set them up so one side was lower than the other and rain water could drain off. Now, I have an electric awning and I've not figured out how to tilt it to one side. Not sure of the brand but it's on our Coachmen Freedom Express 233RBS. Here's the best photo I could find.Is it possible with this type of awning?

I think that you are supposed to retract the awning in the rain.

I have a Keystone tt with electric awning and there is no tilting it eather. Make sure it's retracted when it rains because it will accumulate on the awning, I know from experience.

Ours looks just like yours and it has a knob on the flat part. You pull down on the angle part and lock the knob to drop which ever end you want. Having to put the awning up in the rain is the dumbest thing Ive ever heard of. Ours is out unless its a severe storm.

Our keystone has a power awning. I can tip either side. However I cant stand this awning and next yr it will be replaced with a manual awning.
