Loose awning issue

My awning looks like it sags a little bit. Has anyone ever dealt with this? When I roll the awning up it actually wrinkles on each end. Just looks like it needs to be tighter when fully extended. Please help!

My awning fabric has a 'slight' wrinkle at each end when rolled up as well, don't see a way of avoiding it.

Unlike the robust manual awnings these new power awnings IMO lack frame rigidity and fabric adjustment when deployed.

Also, if the center of the roller tube is 'sagging' a little when rolled up you may want to consider an awning "cradle support". I installed one on my prior TT and it worked great and kept the awning tube from flexing while in tow. I purchased a new cradle support for my present TT but haven't installed it yet.

The longer awnings benefit most from the cradle support.

When my awning is fully extended it sags a lot. I just back roll it about 2'' and it tightens right up.
