When choosing the slider you want to measure the outside front of box width including the flange. Then you need to select a slider that extends a minimum of 2-1/2 inches beyond each side of the box width.

For example, the Black Solera Slider # LCV000165061 is 156 inches wide and is designed to fit a box that measures 146 to 151-3/4 inches.

I have attached a link to the awnings we offer. If you want to send me the measurement of your box or boxes and what color you want I can make some recommendations that will work for you.

Does your slide-out measure 268" wide? If so, we don't have any toppers quite that large. If that measurement is referring to something else just let me know.

I have exactly 3" from the top of my slide to install the rail for a slide topper awning. Will this work? Can you recommend a awning that will work for a slide that is 112 3/4" flange to flange?

At minimum there needs to be 3" of clearance between the top of your slide-out and any existing components like a bracket or gutter for the Solera Slide-Toppers to install and operate. As long as you truly have 3" of space, it will work. For a 112-3/4" flange to flange measurement you'll want the Solera Solide-Topper Black # LCV000251461 or White # LCV000163292.

I would like to buy a Solera slide topper. My slide, including the flanges trim on the box is 97 1/2. The box without the flat trim is 92. It sounds like the 8 foot 7 slide topper would be the correct one? The 8 foot, 1 wouldnt have any overhang. Is my thinking correct?

For your slide topper, you will definitely want the overhang to keep water and debris out. We determine the correct size but measuring the slide including the flanges so you will want to go with the 97-1/2 inch measurement you gave. All that to say you are correct...you will want # LCV000168108 for a black topper or # LCV000163290 for a white topper.
