Protect your RV slide-out from debris and keep moisture out of your siding with this slide-topper awning. Prevents water damage and mildew. Made for slide-outs that measure up to 8'7" from edge to edge. Includes all necessary components.
Features:
Specs:
To ensure you get the correct size awning for your slide-out, measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. You will need 7" of clearance on both sides of the slide-out for the awning. If you don't have 7" clearance on both sides, go down to the next size; this will still give your slide-out plenty of coverage.
If there are two slide-outs next to each other, you will need a total of 14" of clearance between them for them both to have a slide-out awning. Again, you can go down a size if you are low on space.
Without a slide-topper, the roof of your slide-out room is continually exposed and can accumulate leaves and bugs and different types of debris. That debris can build up along the rubber strip at the top of your box, preventing a firm seal when your slide-out is retracted. Rain water can then get in and pool on the top of your slide-out. If you don't clear the water off each time it rains, mold can begin to form. And when your slide-out is pulled in, that mold gets inside your RV.
The Solera RV slide-out awning alleviates those problems by serving as a protective covering over the top of your RV's slide-out. Not only does it prevent debris from collecting on the roof of your slide-out, but it keeps water from pooling and potentially causing damage down the road. Because it mounts directly to the front of the slide box, the slide-out awning is able to automatically extend and retract every time the slide-out room is extended or retracted.
The durable awning fabric holds up to the rigors of the outdoors. It's made of premium 13.5-oz vinyl, which is an upgrade over the 10-oz fabric used in many awnings. This fabric also features heat-welded seams to prevent leaks. And it is made to withstand cold temperatures down to -25 degrees Fahrenheit, so it won't crack or degrade during the winter.
Use the self-tapping screws to secure the included access plate to the side of your slide-out, positioning the plate at the bottom of the T-molding. The two access brackets slide easily onto the access plate's track. The rods that are located at each end of the roller tube, which comes with the awning fabric already mounted, slide through the hole in the two access brackets.
The included awning rail is used to anchor the other side of the fabric to your RV. This rail can be mounted up to 5" above the trim on top of your slide box.
Note: It's important that the slide-topper sits at as steep an angle as possible so that any rainwater will drain immediately. Any water that sits in the awning can stretch out the fabric permanently and warp it out of shape.

easy install
etrailer customer service was great
The slide topper works great and is not hard to install if you have someone to help slide it on and attach the rods. Otherwise it is a one-man job. The only problem I had was screwing the self-tapping screws through the rods. The rods are too hard. After twisting off and drilling out the first two screws, I drilled a hole big enough for the screws to bite into without twisting off. Otherwise I would have given the products and customer service 5 stars
every thing is perfect and the service dept. was very helpful with a few questions I had .I wish when ordering the awning that someone would have told me I had to order the black hardware with a black awing it came with white hardware instead of black Thanks John
Sales people are very helpful. Installed very easy.
Great product for roof shade and roof maintenance. Keeps inside cooler in the summer sun. Had a problem installing one or two brackets where they didn't seem to grab well. Solved that problem with a few extra screws and been working great since.
Ordered four additional toppers after trying one to try installing it by myself. Except for the step that requires two people to actually insert the topper fabric into the rail, it was a relatively simple process. Very impressed with the LCI product so far. I placed etrailer.com order on Tuesday, delivered on Friday. Pretty good service considering they also had the best price.
We have had this slide-out awning for 1 year and it still works fantastic! Very glad we purchased it. Easy to install & a quality product!
It does what we had hoped it would, sheds rain and protects the slide-out.
Installation was not that difficult, but definitely requires two people and several hours.
Seems like these should be standard equipment.
Just received this today, everything looks right, will have it installed next week and be able to expand on this review. It took a while to ship, I was kept in the loop and had excellent customer service
6000 plus miles now and no problems. Works every time, weβre very satisfied with the unit. It was easy to install, the wife and I had it done in about 45 minutes.

One year later still solid as the day we installed it. Traveled 23,000 miles last year. Newfoundland to British Columbia and all over the Western half of North America. The slide topper was money well spent. Cooler, cleaner and quieter.
Worked perfect! Great customer service with people that have the correct answers!
Awning was fairly easy to install. I feel better knowing the slide is better protected now!
Great product, great service, zero conc erns
Are working great and look good
Very nice product, was easy to install.
Carol, I wanted to send you photos of how I received my two packages from the freight company. Y'all have been great to deal with but the delivery method needs improving. As long as my awnings are not missing any parts and are not damaged, I will be happy. But I just got back home and found the boxes like this. I thought you would want to know.
This Solera slide out awning is well made and a good design making for a fairly simple and straightforward installation. Pretty much can install the unit with one person up to the point of slide the awning into the awning rail. The one issue I had, hence took one star away, was not enough awning rail screws were sent, I was short 11 screws, only sent 20. The instruction said to put a screw in very hole of the awning rail to camper attachment. So I drilled all the holes for that connection and then was short 11 screws to fill all the holes.
We purchased 4 new awnings for our unit. 3 for slides and 1 for the shade over the entry. We followed the measurement instructions and when we received them 1 unit was too long because it interferred with the awning arms of the shade for the door. I reached out so that we could get a shorter one and the freight was over half the cost of the new awning. We were disappointed with the service at that time. Now a year later another awning has proven to be too long and the bars seem to extend the end caps so far away from the slide that they bend inwards. While we were camping I had to cut away the awning to prevent any additional damage to our slide. So in looking back, I do not feel they have the expertise to accurately sell this product.
The Awning kit was received on time and the installation went smoothly. Very happy with the product.
This awning was packaged well and it arrived undamaged, however, when I took it out of the package the top rail was bent and the groove where the awning slides in was damaged. I was able to open the groove by bending and it was still serviceable. The hardware package had been opened previously, but nothing was missing. On the bead end of the vinyl where it is glued together was not glued properly. It was on the leading end of the awning so it would take a beating while driving. I repaired it with super glue and hopefully it will hold properly. Those are my complaints and why I gave it only 3 stars. On the other hand, the instructions were thorough and easy to follow. The hardware installation was straight forward and was completed without issue.
I have purchased from etrailer for years and have been very satisfied with the service and quality of their products. This one didnβt measure up due to the factors above.
Delivery went well, slight damage to tube, contents were fine. Install was pretty simple, following video from etrailer. Very pleased with quality of topper n look of it on our Camper which is a 2021 Keystone Passport. I've ordered a few things from etrailer n haven't ever had an issue.
Perfect fit for my Coachmen Clipper 17BHS slide out. Install was easy with the etrailer install video! They cover every step in the video and explain assembly better than the supplied instructions. Works great at keeping out the leaves, hoping it works to help keep water out of the slide out seams too.
Jo Ann was helpful in the sale of this product. The delivery on the other hand was not what I expected. It was not delivered to my house I like was told. I had to go to the post office to pick it up. Not sure why any company would ship a 7Ft Item by USPS. It did come in one undamaged I am missing some hardware. Will try to get that at the local hardware. That is way the lower score. The topper is very nice.
I am not sure whose fault it was, but it took about 3 months for my order to be completed. It was backordered initially, which is fine, but somehow shipped two weeks early. I get ready to install and realize the awning rail, and half of the screws are missing. It appeared to be an open box item, or maybe items taken, and sent to another customer. Customer service was great, (through the whole process, keeping me informed) and they requested the missing parts, which were also back ordered. Two months later, the parts become available and they ship me another slide topper, with the awning rail, but missing all of the screws again!!!! This required another order to be placed for the screws, which took almost two weeks to arrive. I then needed to return the extra awning with the freight company, which was aggravating because they kept canceling/rescheduling dates. Finally got it all installed which took about an hour. The slide topper looks great now that itβs finally installed!
Product was destroyed in transit. Please refund my money. I will not be interested in further negotiations with e trailer. It seems to be a systematic issue with your choice of transportation vendor. Best wishes.
