Awning leaks

New tt leaks behind awning onto doorway?
Is there a fix for this? Or do I just put up getting wet in the rain?

I would take the new TT to your RV dealership for a warranty service inspection. The leak may be caused by a gutter rail joint, or a compromised fabric seam.

Will it be leaking into the walls?😢

Difficult to say without the RV dealership confirming the root cause.

On past TT's I had a fabric seam pulling apart and gutter rail separation repairs, but it didn't effect the inner wall structure.

I just recently went through this as well. My sewn seams on the awning rail had failed.

I had two fixes I tried at the same time... 1. Seam sealer... Apply to the threads... I wasn't quite sure this would 100% work so I also took some paraffin wax and rubbed along the seams on a hot day so the wax would be more pliable and possibly melt into the threads. Haven't had a leak yet and it was massive before...
