Video Transcript for Review of Lippert Anti Billowing Kit Solera Slide Out Awning - LC78FR
Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a brief look. at this Lippert anti billowing kit for Solera slide out awnings. This simple device is going to keep your slide out awning from billowing and damaging your RV when you are out on the road. This is going to work with all Solera 1000 and 5000 series slide toppers. And the roller bracket, as you can see from the photo that I have there on the screen, and this is for the white version of this kit obviously. The roller bracket is going to install on the end cap of your roller tube, and the stop bracket is going to install on the side of your RV.
Now the mounting hardware, as you can see here, is included. And it is recommended that you use butyl tape to seal the stop bracket. And you can find some butyl tape if you don't already have that on hand on the related product section of this product page. This is made here in the USA of durable aluminum construction. It's going to resist corrosion and it's lightweight and this kit is well built.
And you're going to have everything that you need minus the butyl tape to successfully install this kit. Obviously this is in a black finish, but if you are looking for that white finish, we do carry that here at etrailer.com. And on your screen I am including our item number for you for that white version of this kit. If you are interested in that, just take the item number and put it in the search field of our website, and that will take you to the white version of this kit.

It hasnt been a year, but the E-trailer group rectified the missing screws, by sending me the complete order again. This was an excellent fix, and the instructions attached were excellent guides to installation. I would recommend doing business for all my needs.

Excellent. Had to replace slide out topper after first trip to Montana without it. Have been to Montana twice, Las Vegas twice and IllinoisIndiana twice and havent had any issues.
by: Neill 11/17/2023
Install was easy and product looks good. Have not been in a strong wind yet, so do not know if the anti billow works. Last product I used the winds were so strong that the arm somehow turned past the stop and the awning blew up like a parachute. Will see how this one holds up.
by: Lee P02/11/2023
DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE A SOLERA 5000 SERIES SLIDE TOPPER! When doing a fit check before installing I discovered that the foot of this device would be prevented from rotating on the topper by the horizontal bar of the topper! Had I mounted this, it would have done significant damage to the topper, the slide, or both! And etrailer will not allow me to return it due to the cost of return shipping.

I reached out to Lippert and there was a running change to the kit that will now allow it to work with the 5000 series toppers. We will have a replacement sent out to you.

UPDATE, after my initial review, etrailer contacted Lippert to alert them of the issue. Lippert revised the topper anti-billowing kit to work with all its topper models. etrailer sent me a new kit at no charge, which I confirmed does now work with the 5000 series topper. 5 stars to etrailer for customer service and follow up!

Still working as it should, no problems
by: Perry02/05/2023
I had other RVs without the kit, it made travel less enjoyable.
Is something like this for slide covers that like to billow?

Glad to hear it made big difference! It looks like this is the only kind of kit we have for anti billowing. We will have to keep an eye for more products like this to add in the future!
by: Steve 06/09/2023
Read the directions and understand how it works before you install it. The directions are clear but positioning is slightly different on each trailer. Once I had a plan Installation was easy. Works as advertised. I am a satisfied customer.

The Solera Slide Topper appears to be of good construction. Even considering the damaged shipping tube and gouging observed on one of the idler head spring assemblies due to the container having been damaged in transit and re-tped.

I bought a Reese fifth wheel from you recently, I like your service, prices and availability
by: Den 08/31/2022
If you've ever driven thru Wyoming's South Pass and had your slide topper turn into a parachute then this is just what you need. Easy to install and as always the right item when ordered thru e-trailer.
by: Charles 01/13/2022
Easy install and should function as designed. Installing second one tomorrow with one more ordered along with its topper that hasn't shipped yet.

Lucky to have not used this. Easy to install and should serve its purpose if the awnings ever come loose.
by: Lance 12/09/2021
I ordered this at the same time I ordered a slide topper. Though I hadn't had an experience with my topper awning billowing (because I hadn't installed it yet,)I thought it would be a good idea to install it pre-emptively. It was easy to install. At least I won't worry about the fabric billowing while driving at highway speeds in the future.
by: Kevin 06/17/2023
Kate was terrific. Great service, and I received the part in a couple of days.
by: Bogey06/11/2022
Good service as far as timely and letting me know in regards to shipping, but NO instructions with the product.
So, it is not installed yet so I’m UN sure how it fits or how well it works = the score of 3 (it could be higher??)

I have not installed this item yet because it did not come with instructions nor did I find anything on e- trailers other than describing the product, also the package in which it came in was ripped and did not contain any screws
by: Aaron D09/18/2021
Sturdy and well made! Your service and the way you take care of your customers is the reason I will buy from you for all my trailer needs!!
by: Alan 05/26/2021
Works just like it’s supposed to. I have a 24’ long slide so I installed an anti-billowing kit at each end.
by: Charles 12/31/2021
This came in the mail while I was attaching the last screws on the topper. This went straight from the mail box to the trailer wall and squeezed it into my really tight installation. Should work fine. That slide topper is now DONE.
by: Tom 09/20/2022
This was a perfect replacement for my broken one. Installed easily in a few minutes.
by: Charles02/19/2022
Easy to install after two previous ones. Will do just fine if following instructions and checking location before final attachment.

- Replacement Anti-Billowing Device for Solera Slide-Out Topper AwningThe only anti-billowing parts we have on our site are designed for Lippert Solera Slide-Out Awnings and come in the following colors: - Black # LC78FR - White # LC25TF These install on the roll bar piece of the awning and the installation instructions are attached for you to reference. Aside from that I unfortunately don't have a parts list for your 2019 Thor Freedom Elite 24FE so you'll have to look at the awning a bit closer and see if there are any identifiers on the arms or head...
view full answer... - Is The Lippert Anti-Billowing Kit A Compatible Replacement For The Dometic Anti-Billowing Kit I spoke with the manufacturer, Lippert, and was told that the Lippert Anti-Billowing Kit for Solera Slide Topper Awnings # LC78FR is only going to be compatible with Solera slide out awnings so if you're awning is Solera branded you'll be fine using this product. If you have a Dometic awning then you'll need to use the Dometic branded Anti-Billow Kit.
view full answer... - Awning For Slide Toppers That Measure 80 and 96 Inches From Flange to FlangeWe do have slide toppers for two of your slides, the ones that measure 80 inches and 96 inches from flange to flange; there is not one that is short enough for the 55 inch measurement, however. For the toppers, you can choose from either White or Black: - 80 Inches: Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - Black # LCV000165062 or White # LCV000163287 - 96 Inches: Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - Black # LCV000168107 or White # LCV000163289 We do have the anti-billow kit you were asking about as well,...
view full answer... - Can Lippert Anti-Billowing Kit Work if Installed on Rear Side of Slide TopperIn order for the Lippert Anti-Billowing Kit # LC78FR to work it has to install on the front side of the slide out awning as that is the side that would catch the wind when travelling down the highway. Having it on the back side might help a little bit but it won't be nearly as effective as if it were on the front side.

The inside diameter of the arm is 2.545 inches according to my tech contact at Lippert.
