about the hole thing of letting the awnings dry
I get it
...believe me, as a former popup owner I get it....
but the thing is this.
If I roll my awing up dry as a bone, and it rains while it's in storage
It will ALWAYS be wet when I open it....if I open it within several days
but if it's been stored for a long dry spell it will typically unroll and be fairly dry
(or maybe even a bit longer, I've never really figured out how much rain it takes or how long it takes to dry)
My awning is one of those laminated vinyl fabrics, not some porous stuff.... but the water leaks in
Now I can't honestly say if I see the same thing on my slide topper awnings or not....
Now I'll dry them if I can just because it makes sense, and all of that.....but I pretty much figure what's the point of letting them dry. they'll just get wet anyway.
