How to Determine Correct Slide Out Awning for RV
Question:
I like your site, but you don’t list my 2007 Gulfstream Endura Max it’s 39.5 ft Toyhauler, I’m having issues with the slides leaking, I put a new gasket on my bedroom slide but depending on the angle of the rain it soaks my carpet at the lower inside corners. I’m thinking about adding the slide out awnings are there other options I can use?

Thanks for the nice words about our site, and in regards to the awnings, there aren't specific fits for any one trailer, but I can tell you how to determine the correct slide out awning, which is what it sounds like you are asking, and is definitely the option you'll need for your RV.
To determine the correct slide-out awing you simply need to measure from flange to flange and the fabric will need to extend at least 2-1/2 inches beyond that measurement.
For example, if you measured between 74" and 79" wide from flange to flange you would need the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - Black # LCV000168105 or White # LCV000163285.
I have added links below to a video review for you as well as a link to our entire selection of slide-out awnings for you to check out.
