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 7'1" from edge to edge. Includes all necessary components.
Features:
Specs:
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 7'1" from edge to edge. Includes all necessary components.Great product. Very timely delivery. Installation was a breeze. Looking forward to the added protection this provides my slide out.
Instructions could have been clearer. Especially the last part, with regard to proper spring tensioning. Upon first effort, the tension was too tight and it really taxed the slide-out machinery to extend the room. I did a partial disassembly in order to roll out some slack, and now it all works quite well. Would have been nice, also, if the manufacturer had provided a few spare screws, especially those tiny ones that drop to the pavement/ground and require lengthy search missions to retrieve.
This was just as the web page described. The size, fit was very good and it was easy to install. The video provided good install process. My slider is 82.5" I added 5" to it making it 87.5" divided that by 12" and ordered the 7' 6" topper. The material of the topper measured 7' 1/4" just as I was told by the sales rep.
I am very happy with this topper.

No problems with this topper it has worked perfectly.
Product was very good. Slight blemish due to shipping wear. I would suggest adding to the videos that you should open both ends of the channel slightly. During the installation we went about 2 inches beyond the end of the channel with the fabric and had a tough time getting it back in the channel. Overall, very satisfied with the product and the videos for training and installation help.
The instructions were terrible on the installation. It is not installed correctly as water doesn't run off I have to put the slide out in every time it rains.

You may need to contact the manufacturer for some assistance in the installation correction.
Good product, installation was straightforward. Great addition to our trailer. Only issue has to due with trailer trim which made the arms have to be extended extra long.
4 stars for etrailer but not for Lippert. etrailer handled this very well. The slide topper I ordered was damaged by the shipping company UP-something mostly in part because of mishandling but also the lack of Lippert not packaging the product to best protect it from miss handling. Once I reported it to etrailer they went into action and sent a new one within 2 days of my contacting them. This is an example of excellent customer service and taking care of customers. The second slide showed up and again had some minor scuffs from the shipping but this again is due to Lippert's inability to properly protect the ends from this type of damage.Thank you etrailer and I look forward to doing more business down the road for my needs.
It fit, but it only has one bead at the roller instead of the two on the original dometic fabric. It also has two at the coach side which is stupid. I will use it until it needs replacing but will never buy another one.
Easy installation, staff was extremely helpful. Great product and company, would definitely recommend.
The only thing I do not like is whatever film comes off the awning and on the the camper is not easy to clean , pretty much every time it rains you have to clean your camper from whatever comes off the awning, white awning white film on your camper.

Have you tried using a light detergent and washing off the topper?
Great!! Jessie very helpful. Didn't have time to install during summer - just completed today -ready for next year. One screw short for track -no problem had some s/s ones.
Thanks again, sjw, Sechelt, B C
There was a confusion on the “real” size awning I needed, but etrailer.com went beyond what I exspected and sent me everything I needed to complete my install. It was so easy I was able to complete the installation without any help. Thanks, George
Very well-made only took about 2 hours to install seems to work perfectly, excellent customer service and shipping as with everything I've ordered. Thank you very much.
The product was easy to install. I install awning by my self. Might order ok next for the other side. Keeps water and debris off side out
Looks great, works great. Good installation videos. And Dianne A. makes the entire process pleasurable.
Etrailer service is the best.
Great product that was received fast. I haven't installed on my RV yet but with the instructions included should be no problems. 5 stars for product,service and shipping.

The awning still looks new. Still working perfect. Thanks for a great product.
Just put this on trailer. Slide awning seems to be of good quality and was easy to install. Took my wife and I and two ladders about hour and a half. Since we do most of our camping in forest with dropping pine needles and acorns this should keep top of slide clear of debris.
Nice product easy install will wait to see how it holds up to the weather. Customer service from Etrailer is exceptional. One of the units was damaged in shipping but they replaced it quickly and arranged for pickup.
I installed this slide topper a year ago and it has functioned flawlessly. Also, Etrailer had the best price I could find....two thumbs up!
The topper worked out perfect and etrailer was exceptionally easy to work with. I highly recommend them.
Slider awnings so easy to install and work great.
Have’nt compared the products to other products but they seem to be good quality and work well, good instructions and was easy to install have purchased the same items from you since them
Awning great all parts but one screw missing other than that it fits great good product great price Thanks!!!!
Very happy so far. The installation video has very helpful.
From start to finish it took about 90 minutes. Make sure to have a helper.
Thanks.

I continue to be very happy with this awning. It kept my slide out nice and dry throughout the season last year. It is everything I had hoped for.
