Protect your RV slide-out from debris and keep moisture out of your siding to prevent water damage and mildew with this slide topper awning. Made for slide-outs that measure up to 11'7" from edge to edge. Includes all necessary components.
Features:
Specs:
Note: The slide topper you receive may or may not be from the Solera 5000 Series. A minor redesign has changed the shape of the extension bar, awning heads, and brackets. There is no difference in how it functions or installs.
To ensure you get the correct size awning for your slide-out, measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. You will need 7" of clearance on both sides of the slide-out for the awning. If you dont have 7" clearance on both sides, go down to the next size; this will still give your slide-out plenty of coverage.
If there are two slide-outs next to each other, you will need a total of 14" of clearance between them for them both to have a slide-out awning. Again, you can go down a size if you are low on space.
Without a slide-topper, the roof of your slide-out room is continually exposed and can accumulate leaves and bugs and different types of debris. That debris can build up along the rubber strip at the top of your box, preventing a firm seal when your slide-out is retracted. Rain water can then get in and pool on the top of your slide-out. If you don't clear the water off each time it rains, mold can begin to form. And when your slide-out is pulled in, that mold gets inside your RV.
The Solera RV slide-out awning alleviates those problems by serving as a protective covering over the top of your RV's slide-out. Not only does it prevent debris from collecting on the roof of your slide-out, but it keeps water from pooling and potentially causing damage down the road. Because it mounts directly to the front of the slide box, the slide-out awning is able to automatically extend and retract every time the slide-out room is extended or retracted.
The durable awning fabric holds up to the rigors of the outdoors. It's made of premium 13.5-oz vinyl, which is an upgrade over the 10-oz fabric used in many awnings. This fabric also features heat-welded seams to prevent leaks. And it is made to withstand cold temperatures down to -25 degrees Fahrenheit, so it won't crack or degrade during the winter.
Use the self-tapping screws to secure the included access plate to the side of your slide-out, positioning the plate at the bottom of the T-molding. The two access brackets slide easily onto the access plate's track. The rods that are located at each end of the roller tube, which comes with the awning fabric already mounted, slide through the hole in the two access brackets.
The included awning rail is used to anchor the other side of the fabric to your RV. This rail can be mounted up to 5" above the trim on top of your slide box.

Protect your RV slide-out from debris and keep moisture out of your siding to prevent water damage and mildew with this slide topper awning. Made for slide-outs that measure up to 11'7" from edge to edge. Includes all necessary components.I originally bought 3 of these toppers after doing my due diligence on the BEST brand to go with , quality matters to me . Once installed 1 didn’t perform correctly when it rained I contacted Etrailer who’ve I also did research on mostly focused on shipping times and mainly customer service AFTER the sale , their customer service/support is over the top , it was like dealing with Sears forty years ago! . I’m glad I had the great experience working with them and will never purchase another product fo my fifth wheel anywhere else . I am not a review writer by nature so for me to write one good or bad means they really are the only company in my opinion that you need to consider if you are shopping for a , in my case a fifth wheel a accessory, pricing was competitive but where it really matters to me was customer satisfaction is a 100% for me . Thanks
Great product and works fine. Lippert needs to quality check before shipping> My first awning was rolloed up backwards causing the need for a full replacement.
Shipping of second awning was delayed a week and then I did not receive a call from shipper as promised. Kimberly O was excellent and she should be commended for her customer service. Thanks Rick Swift
Thanks to etrailer. Will was very knowledgeable and helpful. I ordered 2 awnings for my slideout on my fifthwheel. The service was great.
These slideout awnings were a great thing to add to my trailer. It will protect from rain and sun. Thanks to etrailer and william, very good service and good quality products.
The Lippert slide out toppers are nice. They are much better then the regular Lippert awnings which wont last in rain or stormy conditions without tearing apart. I purchased 3 Lippert slide out toppers from etrailer. This last one I had to wait about a month for due to it being out of stock, but I did get it with great tracking. Im installing it now. Once you do one you can do 100 of them since they all mount up the same way.Etrailer is great for customer service and they are great communicators which I really appreciate.
These slide toppers were easy to install and work great. Thank you etrailer.
we are full time rvers the toppers work great, no problems, the installations went like you would expect, a little bit of a pain but very doable.
3rd slide topper ive gotten and am very pleased with the product and ease of installation. Although the box it shipped in was damaged each time product inside was ok.
I WAS ABLE TO CALL AND SPEAK WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON ABOUT THIS PRODUCT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. PRODUCT WAS JUST WHAT I ORDERED AND WAS DELIVERD ON TIME.I WILL BE BUYING FROM ETRAILER AGAIN.
Great product , arrived earlier than expected as a bonus
recivedorder on time I put both awning covers on myself took about one hour for each they look great very happy.
awnings work perfectly. no problems
Perfect
Great
RECEIVED ON TIME AS PROMISED.
Carol, I wanted to send you photos of how I received my two packages from the freight company. Y'all have been great to deal with but the delivery method needs improving. As long as my awnings are not missing any parts and are not damaged, I will be happy. But I just got back home and found the boxes like this. I thought you would want to know.
This awning was packaged well and it arrived undamaged, however, when I took it out of the package the top rail was bent and the groove where the awning slides in was damaged. I was able to open the groove by bending and it was still serviceable. The hardware package had been opened previously, but nothing was missing. On the bead end of the vinyl where it is glued together was not glued properly. It was on the leading end of the awning so it would take a beating while driving. I repaired it with super glue and hopefully it will hold properly. Those are my complaints and why I gave it only 3 stars. On the other hand, the instructions were thorough and easy to follow. The hardware installation was straight forward and was completed without issue.
I have purchased from etrailer for years and have been very satisfied with the service and quality of their products. This one didn’t measure up due to the factors above.
I purchased a total of 5 slide toppers for my Grand Design Solitude 390RK. After a year of use I love them. No more climbing on the roof to clean off the slide outs before retracting them. Very little flapping and only in very strong winds. Had one person helping to install 3 of them, 2 I installed by myself. It wasn't that hard. Took a little over an hour to install each one. Saved hundreds of dollars by doing it myself. Would definitely buy them and install them again again. Had very fast and good service from etrailer.

This slide awning is fantastic. Was fairly simple to install. Does a great job for keeping Debris off of the slide roof and it looks like it belongs there. Should be a mfg option.
