Awning - no slope

[champ198]

Hi everyone, I'm looking at a 2017 Cameo 33RL. Pretty nice rig. One thing that I want is an awning that slopes down to allow rain run off. The awning on the 33RL (Carefree I believe) appears to roll out horizontally (flat). It looks like rain will pool up on the awning. Can this awning be adjusted in any way?

thanks

If it is a Carefree awning, here is the instructions for adjustment of this model.

Use care when adjusting the pitch as the awning may move abruptly.
With the Awning Open:
1. Hold on to the awning arm to keep
it steady while adjusting the pitch.
2. Press in the pitch adjustment pin located on the long scissor arm.
Tip: Applying
LIGHT
pressure on the arm will decrease the force required to
press the pitch adjustment pins.
3. Slide the scissor arm to the desired set hole - towards the coach for a lower pitch
and away from the coach for a higher pitch.
With the Awning Closed:
1. Press in the pitch adjustment pin located on the long scissor arm.
2. Slide the inner scissor arm up or down to the desired set

Thanks for the info on the awning. Sounds like I can set it for the desired slope and not have to change it after that.

three caveats...
if over a slide room, don't 'rest' it on the slide
and
once, you change the angle, watch that you still allow clearance of anything that can open and hit it (doors, windows, etc...)
and lastly,
if you angle it a LOT, put it back closer to level before rolling back up...

you might check your manual as some say only change it 'so many' degrees or it won't roll up properly

Mine is set at the steepest angle & has been since new & it rolls up just fine. The instructions that came with mine stated no more than 3 hole difference in order to roll up properly.

We have ours set at the 3 hole difference for the side to side on both of our awnings and ours roll up fine. We have both of them set about in the middle for the slope at the end of the awnings.
