Thanks, here is my picasa link ...https://picasaweb.google.com/101106559627878762237

I hope you can see the pics.� My friend Chaz has the bus depot awning where a pole clamps into the rain gutter, but we tried it and the trim piece I have on my AW is in the way -- the pole does not fit into the gutter.��

Hi John,

Not in the Adventurewagen group, so I couldn't see your pictures, but 
Bus Depot has an awning that clips to the rain gutter:
