    337 Awning gap over Stairs/Door

    Has anyone found a solution to the gap between the front and rear awnings? When its raining you get wet going in and out and the stairs are wet. This is a poor design.

    I agree on the poor design. After reading about that on here, we started noticing it on 5th from other manufacturers also.

    It's a common issue with trailers with a slide right next to the door (our 2016 Reflection 337 was that way and, since it's essentially the same floor plan, our 2020 Solitude 310GK is that way, too). We don't use the awnings during rain due to the risk of wind gusts, so it's not really an issue for us. I also don't like to roll them up wet if we were to leave.

    X2 - Not a fan of leaving the awnings out for fear of a rogue wind gust and the damage it could do. As well as what Rob points out about a wet awning rolled up. Not worth the required effort to clean it later. The humidity alone is tough enough here to keep things from molding. No need to help it out.

    We do 99% of our cooking outside rain or shine, having rain cover while cooking is a nice to have but kind of pointless if I'll get wet while going in and out of the trailer.
