Recommended Slide-Toppers for 85 Inch, 83-1/2 Inch and 85-3/4 inch Wide Slide-Outs
Question:
I have 4 slide outs with 85, 83.5,80inch and 85.75inch I need to know which ones I need to order to meet the extra 5inch requirements without going to far out. Are they able to be customized? And also one of the toppers is close to the awning would I need a special bracket? I attached some pictures

For your 5th-Wheel Trailer, I recommend using the Solera 7.5 Foot Slider (Slide-Topper) in Black with Black Hardware # LCV000165062 or White with White Hardware # LCV000163287. This slider is 90 inches wide and has a box width range of 80 inches to 85-3/4 inches. The box width is measured on the outside front of box, including flange.
Awnings for slide-outs need to extend 2-1/2 inches beyond each side of the slide-out so that they are several inches longer than the slide-out they fit. If one of the awnings is too close to the slide-out, there may be an issue but unfortunately there are no special brackets or hardware available to work around this.
I have attached a demonstration video on these products for you to check out.
