    Awning and mildew

    Whenever our awning in our Wildwood Xlite is rolled up it either collects condensation or rain water. Then when we roll it out we have mildew stains and smell along with moister. I have to clean it all the time. It’s an automatic awning that doesn’t zip up. What suggestions do you have?

    At the top of my awning there was about 6 in of exposed wire over the upper right door frame. I put about 5" of wire covering over it, (two pieces) loosely taped together with some gorilla tape. Anyone see an issue with doing this? Thanks
