For determining the proper size Solera RV slide-out awning, measure the total width of your slide room from the outside including the flange then add a minimum of 5" (2-1/2" each for the left/right side overhang). You can have greater than 2-1/2" overhang if you want, but it is suggested that you do not go any less. Since you have done so with resulting measurements of 155" and 81" you need an awning no less than 159" and 86". You can go beyond the overhang of 2.5" each side if you choose, no worries; just do not go less than the suggested minimum for best results.

Based on the numbers you provided, of needing something at least 159", I suggest the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning, # LCV000163300 in white. For your smaller of the two slide-outs, I suggest the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - 7'1" Wide - 48" Projection - Black, # LCV000165062, or in white, # LCV000163287.

I have a solution for you, but the Solera #LCV000211492 is only an awning and roller kit and not a complete awning; this does not come with the parts needed to add a new awning to your RV. For a complete awning solution that will allow you to mount…
