Door Awning Adjustment

The door awning on my DS4018 when it is fully extended tilts slightly downwards on the front portion. Is there a way to adjust it so that it's even front to back?

Here is a post that might help. There are a couple of allen bolts that adjust the height that you want to correct. Get a ladder, open the awning and take a look. It should be obvious which screw adjusts the height.

Mine is the same as are several others I have talked to.

I'm to understand that on the 2015 DS that is the way they (Newmar) want them. So the rain runs off is what I have been told by some folks that were at the factory.

It doesn't rain here in California (wish it would) so I'd rather have it straight, cuz I'm too anal retentive and it's very annoying to me.

Thanks for the explanation though. I thought it might have been something that missed QA, but if it was intentional, it makes sense now.
