For those that use this cover has anyone else noticed water under the cover in between it and the trailer?

I know the material is breathable but I feel that this water issue is new and did not used to occur.

Should I replace the cover?
Going to reach out to the company as well but I might get a quicker response here

    I have mold/mildew growing on the underside of my cover and on the Maxaire vent cover so I must have condensation or water under the cover.  The outside of the cover has zero mildew.  I've considered laying it out on the driveway and trying to clean the underside but I'm pretty sure the mildew would come back.  I live in Virginia so the humidity isn't as high as some other places.

    Thanks
    I also live in Virginia, Nothern Va 
    I called PahaQue and will post some links to two products the recommend to spray on to help seal and protect from UV which could also cause water to get in

    I hope I don’t have mold or mildew 
    If so I will replace it

    @abenteurer when you come home do you dry the awning before storing it. 

    I have tent camped for years and never had a tent mildew while pitched.    Had a few boys in the troop lie about drying tents after trips and find them molded and mildewed the following campout.

    We are drying ours in the basement while we camp this weekend 

    So far do not see any mold and will add waterproof spray soon

    These are the products that were recommended 

    I think I will also use the waterproof spray on my visor and awning since Paha Que recommended doing this yearly to extend how long they should last

    Are you talking about an actual trailer cover that goes over the entire trailer or your awning/side tent?

    The cover for the trailer has the issue and is what I am concerned about 
    I’m going to protect my awning and visor as they suggest for maintenance
