To determine the correct topper like the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168109 you will want to take a measurement. First measure the outside front of box width including the flange. To choose the correct size topper, you will need 2 1/2" of additional space on each side of your box.

From here you can determine the correct size to order for your topper.
