Solera 7.5' Slider (Slide-Topper) in White w/ White Hardware

There was a confusion on the “real” size awning I needed, but etrailer.com went beyond what I exspected and sent me everything I needed to complete my install. It was so easy I was able to complete the installation without any help. Thanks, George 576129

Great!! Jessie very helpful. Didn't have time to install during summer - just completed today -ready for next year. One screw short for track -no problem had some s/s ones. Thanks again, sjw, Sechelt, B C 574235

This was just as the web page described. The size, fit was very good and it was easy to install. The video provided good install process. My slider is 82.5" I added 5" to it making it 87.5" divided that by 12" and ordered the 7' 6" topper. The material of the topper measured 7' 1/4" just as I was told by the sales rep. I am very happy with this topper. 645148

We love it, works great and glad we tried it.. Was easy to install but takes two people. 625443

The topper arrived exactly when they said and is exactly as represented. Our family handyman helped install it and while I don't know how much I saved by DIY I know it is a bunch. Good product, good company. 585249

Fits as original. Great price and products. Thanks to Adam at e- trailer for fast processing. Would recommend. 552366

Just put this on trailer. Slide awning seems to be of good quality and was easy to install. Took my wife and I and two ladders about hour and a half. Since we do most of our camping in forest with dropping pine needles and acorns this should keep top of slide clear of debris. 526598

Awning great all parts but one screw missing other than that it fits great good product great price Thanks!!!! 524297

Easy to install and works great. Best price on the internet. Thanks for the great service 510245

Great product, easy to install, and definitely worth every penny. By the way, I installed mine by myself, of course, it would have been easier with 2 people. 501306

I purchased this slide out cover a year ago and it has worked flawlessly. I do volunteer work for various federal agencies as well as wildland firefighting and pretty much live in my travel trailer 247, and I never worry about bringing my slide out in when it rains or snows. In a year or so when I trade in my trailer and purchase a new one, if it doesnt have Lippert slide out covers, Ill definitely spend the money to purchase them.

I've had this installed for a year now and no issues with the quality and function. I would sujest that you or the installer use compression rivets other than metal screws if your unit has a thin outside wall made of fiberglass or tin with injection foaming for insulation. Screws will pull themselves out if there is no solid frame to anchor to. 628934

Review from a similar Lippert Components Solera Slide-Topper in RV Awnings

Received the Solara slide top awning yesterday. Very pleased with the awning. It was easy to install and looks good on the trailer. My only complaint concerns the self tapping screws included with the kit to anchor the hex bars. They are too soft and too easy to pop the head off. Which I did, and had to redrill and replace. Other than that am very pleased with my purchase. 487300

the slide top I purchased has held up well and works well. I did have a complaint about the quality of screws provided with the awning. Without being snippy I doubt anything has been done about that and I bet people are still snapping the heads off of those screws.

An "add-on" that is absolutely necessary -- this "slide topper" shields the top of the slide from grit, grime, trash, dust & potential mold so that it isn't pulled back into the RV each time the slide is retracted. Frankly, the written instructions leave much to be desired, but thanks to the etrailer videos a reasonably able DIY'ER can install (...can't over emphasize that watching and memorizing the videos is a must, however!). An excellent product that seems to wear well while providing "necessary" protection. 649131

This slid out awning was easy to install and does a great job. We are campground hosts and use our RV on a very regular basis. After one year of use it is holding up very well. Thanks etrailer! 451350

The awning has performed very well for us. We have been campground hosts in the Sierra Nevada Mtns for the last two seasons and have experienced a variety of weather conditions and have absolutely no problems with this awning. High quality and we would recommend it to anyone who wants to protect their investment. Signed “The Happy Camper”

We are very happy with the Solera 8.5' Slider (Slide-Topper) in Black w/ Black Hardware Item # LCV000168107 It is installed on our 2015 XLR Forest River slide out with no difficulties following the shipping instructions and a youtube 13.5 video making me very comfortable to do it. As you directed the 8.5 ft was a perfect fit for our 94 inch wide box. There is 4.5 inches per side of overhang to actually inner section of slide out... Lovely. Thank you 538366

It’s doing its job of keeping the slide out clean of dirt et. but when it rains it sags and starts filling with water. Can it be adjusted so it’s tighter and the water runs off ? Thank you. 530179

I contacted Lippert and they recommend to take the unit in to a service tech to have them release the tension on both ends and wind 14 times to ensure that the fabric is taut. They do not recommend the customer doing this on their own.

Awning works mostly as it should,however took me over 3 months to get all the peices. I was shuffled around and forgot about by etrailer's people for almost 3 months, by the time I got the awning I had completed my 2 week vacations for the year. I would never buy anything from them again. It was the worst online buying expeirience I have ever had 412357

The awning sags when it rains I have to stick something under it to keep it draining. But whats more frustrating is that no one ever apologized for the poor customer experience or checked back with me after the review. This tells me they really dont care about customer service

Excellent item. I raised the trailer wall mount ba about three inches higher than factory so it would shed rain better. The original topper was mounter such that the topper was level! It gathered rain and eventually failed. Works great! Reasonable price and took like a hour and a half to install with two people and two ladders. Prob less but I wasn't using the existing camper wall mount rail. 525101

I was apprehensive about the dimensions for ordering and the install itself. Not to worry though...etrailer site had the needed info for measuring to order AND even had an install video for a R-Pod that I was going to install on. (I have a 189). I am so pleased with the whole process I just smile all the way to my toes when I think about it. Thanks George and etrailer. 570617

We purchased this Solera Awning Topper approx. 1 year ago. Two of us installed it. Took approx an hour to install. Was an easy install except for the burs on the awning brackets, that slid into the slide brackets. Had to file them down a bit to get them to slide into the bracket. The Topper has worked great and no more worries of water standing, or even leakage on the Slide Out. Happy Campers here........great investment! 527363

Just finished installing the 8’ Solara Slide Topper on my Jayco Jay Feather 23 BHM. I’m very happy with the product so far. Time will tell how it holds up to the weather and highway travel. If you are the handy man type don’t hesitate to install this slider and save yourself an RV dealer’s installation charge. Just be sure to watch the video provided by ETrailer as the instructions that come with the slider leave a bit to be desired. 561331

While we love the slide out on our travel trailer, that is nothing but a potential problem. Leaves and debris lay on top and eventually prevent a good seal when closed, water pooling and potential leaking...and the list goes on. We made the decision to buy and self install the Solera Slide Topper. The topper arrived in a large, well packed cardboard tube. All parts were present. It took my wife and I about 1:45 minutes to complete the installation. We are super pleased with how it turned out and have no complaints at all. Once again...eTrailer to the rescue! I will note a couple of things that buyers/installers need to be aware of. While none of these are a deal breaker...knowledge is power. Some of the hardware (screws) are not painted black. After installation, I took a can of black spray paint and sprayed a little in a paper cup and used a Q-tip to apply the paint to the unpainted heads. The other thing is the tension. Wow...that is one strong spring! I found that the tension was so tight that it actually prevented the top of the slide out from fully extending. I knew this because before installing it I actually felt how tight the inside seal was against the interior wall when the slide was out. After the install I could easily slip my fingers between the inside trailer wall and the slideout seal. I ended up unwinding the spring by two full turns. After that, the slideout seal was firm against the interior wall! Yea! The awning itself was still very taunt and without sag. A word of caution about removing the spring keeper pin or unwinding the arm. Make sure you FULLY understand what you are doing. That is NOT something you want to mess up on. While we had no problems in doing this...I am familiar with spring loaded rotational forces and understand the instant damage they can do! Very pleased...and would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an inexpensive way to cover and protect your slide out! 594525

The Slide Topper is a quality item made by Lippert Components. It took my wife and I about 90 minutes to install it but we took our time to make sure we didn't make any mistakes. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars rather than 5 stars is because one of the self tapping screws to install the 7' long Cord rail was missing. Fortunately I had a screw that I could use. The Slide Topper arrived faster than it was scheduled to so etrailer did a great job at making sure my order was on its way quickly. I'd buy this item again if I need to and I will definitely buy from etrailer again! 522634

I studied the installation instructions prior to the awnings arrival, install went well. Love the slideout awning, keeps rain, dirt and leaves out. Only issue for me was does it come with the trim/mounting or not. You folks said no, I double checked with mfg. and they said no. So I ordered a piece if trim to make sure I could actually install it when it arrived (cost over $100, with expensive freight). Guess what, it came with the trim piece. 449245

Installation went fairly easy. The operation and quality is excellent. Had concerns while ordering if the drip rail was encluded with the kit, was told no and so I ordered one frm the mfg. Guess what was the first thing out of the carton,yep the drip rail. Otherwise great !

Well made product that has provided the protection I was looking for. Easy to install after watching the video online. All of the parts and pieces went together as described. I only wish I had ordered the cover at least two inches wider than I did. My slide is covered but with an extra inch on both side I would not have to worry about blowing rain as much. I did follow the measuring instructions provided but still feel I came up about two inches short of what I really needed. 481774

Everything about the topper was at least as good as I had hoped for, except for one minor issue. The small caps that fit into the ends of the roller arms came lose on the first trip. The self-tihreading set screws didn't stay tight enough to hold the caps in. I called to order a new set, but was rather disappointed that I would be charged for them after spending hundreds of dollars for the topper. I decided that I could cement them in place with epoxy adhesive. Still, it is a very well made product that I will definitely look for if I ever need another topper. You'll be glad you chose Solera if you're looking for a high quality topper at a decent price. It's also easy to install. Best wishes, Larry L. 412969

It has been over a year since I installed the Solera topper and I am very happy with my purchase. One benefit that I havent seen mentioned is the noise reduction when it rains. Without the topper it sounded like someone was making popcorn in a very large microwave oven. All I hear now is the soothing sound of the rain. Im glad to have the topper and I would recommend it to anyone.

After I placed an order for a slide topper, etrailer sent an email indicating it was not in stock. However, they told me when it would ship approximately and they kept in touch during the waiting period. The item was delivered in excellent condition. I would not hesitate to use etrailer as my Internet source for my camping trailer needs. 335142

We have since traded that trailer so, I cant give you a long term review. However, I was so pleased with etrailer that I ordered and installed 2 slide toppers for our new unit.

Appears to be well made and attractive, nice addition to my brown Cougar. although the directions are vague and diagrams need to be improved I was able to assemble it in a reasonable amount of time. The sizing was correct and provides a lot of protection for my slide out. 423546

Working as well as when new, purchased a second one sized for a 179 r-pod with same results although a small modification was necessary on the r-pod gutter drain spouts to install. Pleased with both.

After a year the product I purchased and installed has been wonderful. As you can see from the picture(s) it is still in great shape and protects our camper slide. Topper was easy to install for a DYI and the assistance of video on installation prep and advice from etrailer was the ticket to successfully completing the job with no trouble. Topper material is quality material and hardware was very good. Love the results and no issues with anything falling on the top of my slide increasing the risk of damage to slide and or seals. 541528

I would like to leave a positive review (5 stars) for the Solera Slide Toppers that I bought from Etrailer. I bought the 12.5" and 8" both white with white hardware. I was trying to find where to leave the review on the web site but was unable to do so.. I have to say, they were very easy to install. Anyone who can use a hand drill and a caulk gun can install these. I put them on in only a few short hours and they turned out very nice. I posted it to a page on FB and got over 121 thumbs up and around 60 positive comments. Folks were telling me that my post was inspirational enough to them that they wanted to add these toppers to their RV. Thanks for the great product and for the price match that you guys guarantee!! Please feel free to share my pics on etrailer.com and my review as well. 475434

Great product. We'll made and not worried about my slide anymore. Installed in an hour with help from one other person. etrailer had to verify an odd address (to a campsite) and called to double check on it quick. Then shipped same day a few hours later. I actually, very regularly order everything online from the biggest online retail company you know of, because they do have it. However I took a chance and got it delivered for around the same price and in less than 48 hrs. Will be ordering all of my trailer needs from etrailer. These people are good at what they do! 468403
