Question - how should Solera awning roll up?

Got a new 2016 274BHS Bullet Ultra Light. Has a Solera electric awning

Going through the check-out with the dealer, they said to NEVER "go to far" using the electric awning when deploying.

My question is - how should it roll back up? The reason I ask is that it seems to be opposite an Outback I have. The Bullet awning rolls up with the roller going "over" the awning, which results in the awning having a "valley" between the rolled up awning and the trailer roof - making a nice place to catch lots of water, ice, etc.

Also - either the dealer misinformed me, or the switch is reversed. "Rectract" deploys the awning, and vice-versa. What I've noticed, is if you go a bit "too far" deploying the awning, it appears it wants to reverse the awning rolling up, so that it would roll back up with the roller "under" the awning, which would NOT create the "valley" to catch water.

I've asked Keystone - they have no idea, and haven't responded to a CS email. So - which should it be? Or contact Solera?
