If the measurements that you took were from flange to flange then for your smaller slideout you want the 7-1/2' Solera Slider (Slide-Topper) which comes in Black # LCV000165062 or White # LCV000163287.

Then for your larger slideout you want the 12-1/2' Slider (Slide-Topper) which also comes in Black # LCV000177334 or White # LCV000163298.

If your flange-to-flange measurement is different than what you gave me just let me know and I can change my recommendations to match.

Answer 5

As a general rule of thumb, you will want the slide topper rail to be about 6" longer than the fabric. The correct way to measure the rail is from the end of each end cap, not the rail itself. The fabric included with part #LCV000168325 is…

Answer 8

It sounds like you are asking if a Solera Slide-Topper like the 12.5' #LCV000177334 that you were looking at can be installed on your Grand Design trailer that features an electric awning already in place. Just let me know if that is not the…

Since the overall width of your awning measures 125-3/4 inches flange-to-flange, I recommend the 11-ft topper #LCV000163294. This topper is designed for an overall box width with the flanges from 122 to 127-3/4 inches. This topper is White, but if…

Answer 12

We've checked with Solera before and they've said that 3 inches of clearance is the minimum needed for their Solera slide toppers to fit. So if you have 3 inches it would be tight but it would fit. Based on your flange dimension being 129…
