Water Seeps into my Dometic Awning during Storage
I have a Dometic Awning Model 802GV17.401B on my travel trailer. During storage water seeps between layers of the awning. It is normally wet when I open it. How can I keep it dry?

Ripperoo, I noticed that my awning is sagging a little also. Can you discribe what you are talking about as a center support?
SSKWISE, I got one of these: Tension Rafter
When the awning is stowed, I put a little positive up lift on it, just slightly higher than the end supports. Helps keep the center from sagging down, permanently bending it. With a slight up curven in the middle, water doesn't tend to accumulate in the middle; seems to run out the ends. Also, it's nice to use as a center rafter when the awning is out. Helps keep water from puddling in the center, and again keeps the roller from bending inward toward the camper when tensioned.
