Protect your RV slide-out from debris and keep moisture out of your siding with this slide-topper awning. Prevents water damage and mildew. Made for slide-outs that measure up to 8'1" 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 don't 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.
Note: It's important that the slide-topper sits at as steep an angle as possible so that any rainwater will drain immediately. Any water that sits in the awning can stretch out the fabric permanently and warp it out of shape.

Protect your RV slide-out from debris and keep moisture out of your siding with this slide-topper awning. Prevents water damage and mildew. Made for slide-outs that measure up to 8'1" from edge to edge. Includes all necessary components.
The slide topper was straightforward to install and has been working perfectly. We hardly even think about it! The real story here is etrailer’s customer support. When initially purchased, a longer topper was actually shipped to us but I didn’t even take it out of the box for months- so I did not catch the error for quite some time.
When I finally went to install, I realized the error and contacted etrailer. They absolutely went *above and beyond* , despite the length of time that had passed, and helped facilitate every aspect of returning the first unit. They shipped the replacement to rendezvous with us as we had started to travel. I cannot say enough good things about how well they took care of us.
The awning was easy to install. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. We got the job done in about an hour. Works great and looks good.
Great awning for the slideout on my Forest River Gray Wolf. I wanted to protect the top of the slide out since we go to an area that has a lot of pines trees. It did a great job all season and kept the top protected. I'd go up and clean it every month or so but otherwise very little maintenance. Thanks to etrailer for a great deal and easy installation videos. I'd suggest having someone help; I didn't and it was challenging at time. Otherwise great product and experience!
Had a few issues where the shipping company damaged my delivery on two occasions but a trailer Paula made things right very good customer service would recommend to anyone good old fashion values
The screw that holds the spring on broke. The awning would not roll up. The size of the screw holding the spring was way undersized. I did contact lippert and the sent me replacement arm which did have an improved screw on it.
Works real smooth and very easy to inst all!
Received with main parts missing

Lets have this taken care of for you. Customer Service will be in contact to send the missing parts out.
One year later and more miles than imagined, still going strong. Installation is as a breeze. only needed second pair of hands for one step.
Very heavy duty material assembly to the trailer was easy. The canopy when extended with the slide out is very taunt and sheds rain easily
Great product.
Fast Free shipping.
High quality product easy to install.
I would recommend this product.
etrailer was very helpful and easy to work with.
They answered all my questions.
Product is great written instructions confusing. Watch the videos they are easy to understand. Happy with the results
First one that was coming was mangled when it arrived, now awaiting a new one, however the shipping company keeps changing the delivery date (5 hr window) -- I can't afford to sit at home and wait for order multiple days waiting for this delivery, that I will see before signing for it since it was damaged first time.

Very well has held up good in strong winds in the valley in Texas. The wind there blows constantly with gusts up to 40 mph very common. The awning hasn’t stained or frayed on the ends.

Works fine it keep debri off slide so I dont have to carry a ladder with me to clean off the top before closing it
Great product. Does what it was intende d.
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.
Product was destroyed in transit. Please refund my money. I will not be interested in further negotiations with e trailer. It seems to be a systematic issue with your choice of transportation vendor. Best wishes.
Perfect fit for my Coachmen Clipper 17BHS slide out. Install was easy with the etrailer install video! They cover every step in the video and explain assembly better than the supplied instructions. Works great at keeping out the leaves, hoping it works to help keep water out of the slide out seams too.
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.
I am not sure whose fault it was, but it took about 3 months for my order to be completed. It was backordered initially, which is fine, but somehow shipped two weeks early. I get ready to install and realize the awning rail, and half of the screws are missing. It appeared to be an open box item, or maybe items taken, and sent to another customer. Customer service was great, (through the whole process, keeping me informed) and they requested the missing parts, which were also back ordered. Two months later, the parts become available and they ship me another slide topper, with the awning rail, but missing all of the screws again!!!! This required another order to be placed for the screws, which took almost two weeks to arrive. I then needed to return the extra awning with the freight company, which was aggravating because they kept canceling/rescheduling dates. Finally got it all installed which took about an hour. The slide topper looks great now that it’s finally installed!
