Black Awnings for 7' and 15' Slide-Outs

Question:

I just took my cover off the TT and i see the railing to install the slide out topper is above my gutter. Is that to high up? Or should i install the rail down below the gutter? Thanks

For your 7' slide-out you should be able to use the Black Awning # LCV000165062 which fits 80" - 85" slide-outs and an awning rail that is 85" wide.

Then for your 15' awning it can be a little tricky because there isn't a replacement awning that is only for 15'. You'll either need the 14'7" Black Awning # LCV000251477 which fits 170" - 175" wide slide-outs with an awning rail 175" wide OR the 15'7" Black Awning # LCV000251478 which fits 182" - 187" wide slide-outs with a 187" wide awning rail. To make sure you get the correct side I recommend measuring your awning rail and choosing based off of that.

These kits also include brackets, hardware, and the awning rail.

Your railing for the slide topper should be under the gutter. If it sits above the gutter then that kind of defeats the purpose of the gutter in the first place so you are spot on with your thinking. It is worth noting step 1 in the linked instructions: 1. Position the awning rail along the line where the roof and wall meet or a minimum of 3” above the upper edge of the slide room the Solera Slider will cover. The awning rail must be level and parallel with the top of slide room box of the unit. If the correct positioning of your rail is above the gutter then you might want to look into relocating your gutter.
