These awnings do not like the wind! and by "wind" - I mean just a tad more than a cough. Just kidding. I only put mine out when the wind is low. I do not have confidence that securing them to the ground is a good idea. These are not like the old school manual awnings I had on my RVs for years. Lots of stories here in this forum about those who lost the battle of the wind and the awning! You might need to get up on a ladder or climb on the roof and check to see if the awnings are secure to the RV wall. I have seen some recent threads on suspected leaks thru the awning screw holes and awning that was damaged by wind. Try searching this forum.

Window leaks can be sneaky. You might consider laying a bead of sealant around the perimeter of the slideout window frames. If the dampness persist then you will need to remove the suspect window and install new butyl seal tape under the outer frame. Try searching that subject also.
