Hi,
First of all, sorry if this sounds a bit stilted, but I am new to this forum lark. Just been away for the weekend to Filey with the California (Nellie) which we bought new last September(It isn't our first outing in her). We have recently bought awning sides (all three) as advertised on this site and wanted to try them out. When we got to the site we set it all up and then it rained and the roof part of the awning started catching water and a bulge started. The type you get at home in your ceiling when you have developed a water leak upstairs. I quickly pushed the water off and decided I had to take the awning and sides down in the pouring rain (It was 11pm so couldn't go to bed and leave it like this). So my question to the forum is how tight is your awning roof. Mine is very slack even though the mechanism is fully extended. Should it be like this or should it be tighter like a drum skin. If you have to think wether it is going to rain every time you put the awning up you are then down to putting it all up in the morning and taking down again each night.
Regards
Dave (Nellie's mahoot)
