Here’s the rig hooked up and parked. Just placed the rock down for the pad.

My view for work.

Is that leaning awning set up on purpose for runoff, or was that an oops moment?

I have been trying to figure out how to do that on purpose for our trip back to Mid-West rainy season in a couple months.

I will often put one side slightly lower than the other to aid rain run off. Although, you can do the same thing for wind coming from the down most side of the awning.

Think of an umbrella catching the wind or pointed into the wind.

Depending on the runoff, camp elevation, wind...you manipulate the awning to drain water in the direction beneficial to your environment.

While everyone is right about the rain runoff, rain was not a concern for me here. I was simply trying to get every bit of shade that I could as the sun got low in that direction.

My original question should have been worded differently.

Is that rod allowing the tipped awning bent, or is it adjustable? I haven't looked at mine close enough to know if it has an adjustable setting or not.

I think all awnings have a provision to lower one end, some way or another...

Standin on the bank if the river which was about 40' from the 5th wheel.
