Awning question-- getting wet when stored
Our 07 Fleetwood Orbit has an awning that tends to get wet inside, even when it is rolled up and not in use. The fabric winds up in such a way that I would think the water would run off and not get in...

I may be mistaken about this (and I'm sure the experts here will jump on it if I am), but I think the mildew that you're smelling and/or seeing forms on materials OTHER than the actual awning fabric. In other words, its the pollen, dust, leaf bits, bugs, and other debris that supports the growth of mildew. The awning fabric is generally vinyl, which is plastic, and if it were totally clean, there would be no mildew.
So, if I'm correct, the issue isn't that it's wet. The issue is that it is not clean.
You probably will have a lot more success if you keep it meticulously clean, since you probably can't keep it totally dry.
