Some people used the Tee-Pee affect to handle the heavy rain flow.

Some people added an extension rod near their trailer door, to raise the awning height, when the rain came down by the bucket load!

With many tent poles supporting their Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi, they quickly removed the center poles for the funnel effect, when the heavy rain poured down.

A neighbor came to the rescue, one day while they were away, when an unexpected deluge arrived. A good plan is to either Tee-Pee or graduate your tent poles when leaving your camp-site.

The Pop-Up stayed anchored with tent stakes, but leaked. They will be returning it for a refund!

Some campers chose not to set up their awnings at all, anticipating sever weather.

The little Airstream next to us had a framed awning, and experienced no problems.
