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.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!
Delivery went well, slight damage to tube, contents were fine. Install was pretty simple, following video from etrailer. Very pleased with quality of topper n look of it on our Camper which is a 2021 Keystone Passport. I've ordered a few things from etrailer n haven't ever had an issue.
Our slide-topper awning installation directions were clear and except for one step, is a one man job. Strongly advise you read thru instructions completely before beginning, and I found a "dry-run" assembly very helpful. Very pleased with the topper.
Great product. Looks great on my 2021 Passport GT Series by Keystone. Easy to install when you watch the installation video.
Worked out great, easy install and no problems after 1 year
Was delivered on time. Easy to install, still looks and works like brand new.
Fit as if installed at the factory.
I had some parts missing from my order that I received on Wednesday night as we were getting ready for Hurricane Laura here in East Texas. I noticed that the cardboard tube had one of the metal end caps missing and was taped up, my first thought was uh-oh. Long story short I called e-trailer and talked to a nice lady named Paula Thursday morning by Tuesday I had the parts I had to have. To me that’s pretty good customer service. Thanks e-trailer, and a big thanks to Paula S.

It took me about 2 hours to install was not that hard to do need someone to help to put canvas on the track other than that not hard to do
Driver was good on communication with me on the delivery. Appreciate the good service
We bought this slide topper to keep the debris off the top of our slide since we don't have a ladder on our trailer I can't easily sweep off the slide roof. We recently camped under a blooming tree that dropped a ton of flower debris during a rainstorm. The topper kept the slide roof clean so we were able to close up without risk of getting debris in the slide seals. Since it was wet, some of the debris rolled up in the topper and fell out when we opened it up at home to dry it out (would probably not have done that if it were dry). At home it was easy to clean out as I have plenty of ladders. This has certainly solved out problem of keeping the slide roof clear while we are camping. The awning appears to be very well constructed. I found it pretty easy to install with basic tools. So far we are very pleased.
The Solera Slide Topper was fairly easy for me to install with the help of one person. I did watch the installation video several times, which helps. It has worked good for me without any problems. I would recommend this Solera Slide Topper. Only thing I need to tighten up the fabric on one side, because it is loose on one side but is tight on the other side.
One of the best additions we’ve made to our 5th wheel. I’m glad we got these slide covers. A little bit of an effort to install, but any one mechanical inclined will have no problem.
I’m happy with them.
We are very happy with the Solera 8.5' Slider (Slide-Topper) in Black w/ Black Hardware
Item # LCV000168107
It is installed on our 2015 XLR Forest River slide out with no difficulties following the shipping instructions and a youtube 13.5 video making me very comfortable to do it. As you directed the 8.5 ft was a perfect fit for our 94 inch wide box. There is 4.5 inches per side of overhang to actually inner section of slide out... Lovely. Thank you

The slide toppers are a great addition to my fifth wheel slides. The links provided by etrailer, made the installation fast and easy.
Thank you William, for all your help,
We received our first awning which was obviously damaged as the packages end was crushed. It was sent back immediately by the trucking company and within 1 week we had another awning in perfect condition. etrailer was very easy to deal with. I watched an etrailer online video which made it very easy for me to install the awning. It took my brother and I, 2 hours to install. Thanks etrailer for your great service.
Always top notch customer service and quality parts. If I have issues they are resolved.
This topper was not only easy to install but, in my opinion, is of excellent quality as is etrailer.
Quick deliver, Great product, Easy inst all....

After a year, still works and looks new. No issues so far, clean the top when extended once and awhile. Set it and forget it.
