Installing Shorter Solera Slide-Topper Due to Clearance on 156" Box Width
Question:
Can Shorter Slide Topper be Installed for Clearance? This was a question asked by another customer and I have a similar issue and question. Below is what was previously asked but the size of awnings are different. Here is my flange to flange box dementions 156 and my clearance on the one side is smaller at only 1-3/4 inches between the edge of the flange and my main awning arm. Keeping that in mind what size topper should I be looking at?

If you don't have the clearance available for the recommended overhang on a Slide-Topper then you can indeed just go with a smaller size (keeping in mind that it may not give you full coverage). For your 156 inch box measurement the Solera 13' Slide-Topper in Black # LCV000165061 or White # LCV000163299 will work well as the slider itself is 156 inches wide. This matches your box width exactly so it should still cover most of your slide-out.
I have attached a video demonstration on the Slide-Topper that you can also check out.
