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 9'1" from edge to edge. Includes all necessary components.

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.

Great product easy install fast shipping Thank you etrailer
Great service
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.
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.
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.
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 didn’t measure up due to the factors above.
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 purchased a total of 5 slide toppers for my Grand Design Solitude 390RK. After a year of use I love them. No more climbing on the roof to clean off the slide outs before retracting them. Very little flapping and only in very strong winds. Had one person helping to install 3 of them, 2 I installed by myself. It wasn't that hard. Took a little over an hour to install each one. Saved hundreds of dollars by doing it myself. Would definitely buy them and install them again again. Had very fast and good service from etrailer.
I'm an RV tech and have installed these before, but this time it was in my own new 5th wheel. My advice, if your RV is slide topper ready, consider putting the slide rail a couple inches higher. I had a feeling it was gonna be an issue and it is. The manufacturer suggested placement is too low and they sit flat and catch even the lightest rain. We just put a beach ball under ours cuz the rain will not run off. Otherwise I'm sure the product is fine, but please take my word for it, there needs to be a higher rise for the rain to dry. I raised our last RV toppers and no issues at highway speeds. I wish the manufacturer would actually test their product and installation instructions before putting it on the market.
