Rain water issue.

Whenever we get a downpour, rain water manages to make it's way under the awning where it attaches to the TT. All along the side it does it. We leave the awning open and tilted of course. When we step outside water drips on you before you even get to the first step in the stairs. We have a 282RK. Love it. Any suggestions? Caulking perhaps?

I'd caulk along the top of the awning rail.

Check it carefully next time it rains. The water can come from behind the awning track ( between rail and TT) or it can come from the awning track itself ( between the boltrope and the track. if it is coming between the TT and the track, sealing the top joint will cure it. If it is coming between the boltrope and the track, it will be harder to fix.
