Picking Out Slide Topper Awnings for Travel Trailer Box Widths 12.5 ft and 7 ft

Question

Question:

Im looking to install a slide topper on both of the slides of our travel trailer. One slide measures 12foot 7 1/4inch from the T molding and the other measures 7foot 1/4inch from the T molding. Not 100 sure of the topper I need to order.

When picking out a slide topper for a travel trailer the key is to measure the width of the box including the flange that runs around the outside of it. So for the first awning size you mentioned that's 12 foot 7 inch you'd want the part # LCV000168109 for a black slide topper and then for the 7 foot box width you'd then want the # LCV000165062.
