fit the awning so that the awning runs true to the slope of the ground, not to the level of the caravan

When you pull the awning through the track, have more at the front than at the back so it follows the slope of the ground.

Yes but the canvas, especially the bottom of the walls, will more or less follow the line of the ground. The poles are all adjustable to suit.

Yes the back and front end panels will need a bit of adjusting to get as right as possible. The caravan will be level so although the ground will be low at the front the caravan will be even higher. Pulling more awning through will mean there is enough to reach the ground.

Poles will simply move along the caravan.
