I've noticed the condensation from my A/C is collecting up there and running down between the coach and awning, so it must not be sealing any longer. Anyone have the name/description so I can get a replacement?

I think that's part of the awning. Looks like a Girard awning. They should have the replacement seal.

Yup. From the forum manual collection:

Yep call foretravel parts. Someone had used silicone sealant to keep mine in place so i had to remove all of that before i installed the new seal.
I used lexel sealant on mine. At least you can apply it over top of itself if you need to down the road.

That's actually what's called out in the manual.

I called Girard as I have always received quick answers in the past. Looks like they've been bought by Lippert. Their website no longer shows their direct contact number, so you have to go through Lippert initially, unless you have their number (800) 382-8442. Could not get anyone on the phone yesterday about noon their time. Left a message. Called again at 3pm their time. VM again. No call back yet. Disappointing considering their past response rate.

Keith, can you lift it and apply more sealant like the manual states? Or is it rotting? Jim.

It's shot. Weathered and porous on top. Time to be replaced.
