I leave mine set that way. Stows with no problem at all. A couple of weeks ago we were at Fort Wilderness when Orlando had that hellacious rain storm -- had about 4 or 6 inches. I was able to get the awning retracted before the worst of the storm.

When I redeployed the awning, I readjusted the tilt -- full down on rear support arm, full up on front -- stowed the awning that way and drove home to Tampa with no problems. I have since readjusted to the way I normally have it tilted.

I have seen no limitations in how the awning retracts regardless of how the support arms are adjusted.

By the way -- when I was talking to salesmen at the Axis/Vegas exhibit during the Tampa RV show this spring, I did not find a single salesperson who knew the awning tilted. Several were surprised when I demonstrated on their exhibits how it worked. Also, when you look at your build sheet, you'll find that the tilt support arms are an option from the awning manufacturer.
