Awesome write up Darren. Would like to add, the following if you don't mind. Was over at Mudskis, few days ago. He wanted to see how my awning sits, as he was concerned his one sits pointing slightly upwards due to the nature of the roof racks bracket. Mine sits perfectly straight. I used these brackets. This also eliminated drilling through your roof rack.
Mine sits a fair bit upwards. I don't think it will be a problem though I've only ever used it in light drizzle not torrential rain. I think the rain would just run towards the car
