I have this awning it is not a Girard I believe it is carefree. I have not had any issues with them in the 1.5 years of use. It is being used by several of the Prevost converters as well. Brining the slides in after or during a rain has not been a problem with water there is a sweep at the top. Dirt does build up on the slide top I have cleaned an waxed it 3 or 4 times. There is no awning on drivers side unless it was a add on by the person specking it. Door awning is not recommended due to wind while driving I did meet an owner of a coach a few before mine who had one and said it was not an issue.
