    IMHO I would slope it away from the truck to avoid puddling?

    Their shipping is usually free over $50-100...any RV store should be able to find them...fyi: they came in a set of 3 so I got 2 sets of 3 and sold 2 sets of 2 to cover my cost...just a thought ;-p

    Thanks.
    I just want a hands on first.
    I do see the use. The drizzle this last trip was nothing. We had rain the night I set it up at home and there was a swimming pool up there... :)

    Still new to this setup.
    Ist time in wind .... under 30 mph winds, and the annex cannot handle it. Disappointed. Covers rolled up allowing as much air through as possible. My REI tent hardly noticed that it was windy at all.

    I know I've had mine in windy conditions but the inside was loaded with stuff and I had it guyed out too.

    We were sitting inside and the panels kept blowing in several feet, if you can picture that.
    The only guy lines I have are the 2 on the awning. I cannot picture the panels guyed out.
    There are 6 stakes on the bottom of the annex. The 2 doors that are opposite each other keep opening up at the '3 zipper junctions'. We tried a cable tie yesterday. It works, but then we cant use that door. (We usually use the end door anyway.
