Awning is Holding Water

I always make sure my awning is dry before I roll it up and put my RV in storage. Every time I unroll my awning water pours out, I can only assume this is rainwater. My storage area is uncovered so I assume this is rainwater. So far I keep my awning pretty clean but I am more worried about this trapped water when the temperature is below freezing. Will this trapped water damage the awning? Is there any way I can prevent the water from getting in the awning?

    Rain water seems to wick into the awning a lot, common problem. You would have to cover the awning somehow to prevent this. Our 5er is stored under a cover so I have no problems. I don't think the water freezing would cause a problem but it sure does prompt mildew problems.
