Sizing the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning

Question:

I watched your YouTube video on installing and it seems cut and dry but I did want to know, my slide is 12foot 9inch from outside of T mold to outside of T mold. You say to order the next size up. I would assume that 131inch would be what I need but I just want to make sure

The Solera RV Slide-Out Awning, # LCV000168110 has an actual fabric width of 163". If the slide on your RV measures 153" (12'-9") from outside edge to outside edge then this will provide 5" of overhang on each side which works just fine. The Solera RV Slide-Out Awning, # LCV000168109 is one size down and has an actual fabric width of 157" that would provide a 2" overhang right/left. Either would work well I suggest taking into consideration if anything on the side of the RV where this mounts would come into conflict, causing the shorter width to be better choice. Other than that it is simply a choice of how much overhang you prefer.
