How to Measure for an RV Slide-Out Awning
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.
Protect Your RV Slide-Out
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.
Durable Vinyl Fabric
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.
Simple Installation
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.

Product is holding up nicely and functioning properly. No regrets, keeping those 3 slides clean from debris is awesome!!

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.

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 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 it’s finally installed!

Your choice of LTL carrier is poor at best. They arrived a week later than what they originally scheduled. All 3 packing tubes that the slide toppers were shipped in were damaged. Off loading and inspecting was a challenge in 106deg heat and a busy roadway. Did manage to confirm that the hardware kits were still intact. As for tube damage we will see what they look like during install this weekend
by: Randy04/17/2022
Great product. Very timely delivery. Installation was a breeze. Looking forward to the added protection this provides my slide out.

I like the slide toppers except in the extreme wind because they do flap when the wind is from the right direction. I should note that I was sent this review link by etrailer and not Lippert. etrailer is great to order from. However, one of the sets of brackets were different dimensions than the other set, causing my topper to rub on the slide flange. I contacted etrailer and was sent to Lippert. The first individual I spoke with didn't appear to know much about slide toppers even after I sent him photos pointing out the difference in brackets and, he confirmed that the two sets should have been the same. The next person acted as though they didn't believe me and I sent more photos with a tape measure in the photo to illustrate the difference between the two sets of brackets. Many many many more email exchanges as well as numerous phone calls later, they agreed to send me a new set of brackets. By this time of course, I had already jury rigged it with a doubled up piece of hard rubber to act as a spacer. Lots of miles and high winds and they are holding up pretty good. etrailer, good. Lippert, not so good customer service.

Easy to install, took a helper to slide on the awning after hardware was installed. Keeps slide out roof clean and dry. I think it also helps keep it cooler as the sun does not shine directly on less insulated slide out roof.

The product is excellent, the shipping was awful. Received the first shipment, the shipping tube and product was near bent in half. Had to send it back, easy reorder. Second shipment arrive, the driver didn't even want to take it out of the truck the tube was so badly damaged. There were holes punch into the shipping tube and the end cap was missing. It took both of us to remove the contents of the tube. Luckly the holes missed the product and did not damage it. Driver stated he would report it to this boss as he had no idea how the tube could have been so abused as to put holes in it.

Start at 5-stars.
Awning arrived damaged. That may be the sellers fault or it could have been damaged by the shipper. Now 4-1/2 stars
etrailer sent out a new replacement part that arrived quickly. Back at 5-stars.
Unfortunately there was no instructions in the package regarding how to safely change this spring loaded part. After contacting etrailer requesting info on how to change the part, they had no clue. I was told to contact Lippert. Remove 2-stars.
Final Rating of 3 Average stars. Nothing special about etrailer. They did not go above and beyond average…but could have by sending or at least having detailed information regarding how to safely replace this spring loaded part.

I called to make sure that the topper I am ordering is going to be the matching one to the ones we have on our 5th wheel. The gentleman told me for sure that it was the one with the round ends on the roller and when we received it yesterday that the end cap was missing and the attachment plate is bent and it’s the wrong one it’s got plastic caps oval shaped on the ends which is not the one that I made sure of to get. Also we expected a lot better experience from e trailer. We would like to know how to fix the problem of the package not being closed, the bent attachment and the wrong roller and hardware from the one I asked for. Please call us as soon as possible cause of our work schedule.

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.
by: Travis01/03/2019
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!

Looks great easy install with a helper took about a hour camper was prepared for the topper time will tell how well it holds up thanks etrailer
by: Victor08/16/2022
Product was received later than scheduled. The package ends were quite beaten. Both Idler End Caps are quite scared. The carrier provided me with a Control number, I believe it’s to confirm the condition of the freight.
I did send an mail with photos toetrailer.com I am waiting for a reply.
by: Thomas01/18/2023
Instructions could have been clearer. Especially the last part, with regard to proper spring tensioning. Upon first effort, the tension was too tight and it really taxed the slide-out machinery to extend the room. I did a partial disassembly in order to roll out some slack, and now it all works quite well. Would have been nice, also, if the manufacturer had provided a few spare screws, especially those tiny ones that drop to the pavement/ground and require lengthy search missions to retrieve.
by: Justin10/27/2023
I bought 5 of these for my fifth wheel, of various lengths. Very easy to install, by myself. The only downside is the white gets moldy very fast, the black would hide it better.

The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the problems I had with the shipping. All if the shipping tubes we damaged to some extent and one if them was shipped 3 times because of damage done to the awning in transit. Other than that, the awnings look and work great. My 64 year old bride and 65 year old I installed them without too much trouble and 0 injuries. 3 on one side 1 long one on the other side.
by: Rodney 08/28/2022
The slide cover looks sturdy, the installation went well and we shouldn't have to worry about leaves, pine needles, pine cones and sticks on top of our slide.

- Does Solera RV Slide Out Awning Need Clearance Above Awning RailIf you check out the picture I attached you can see that the roller and slide out awning assembly of the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000435661 actually will sit below the awning rail so your setup having a tight clearance between the rail and the gutter would not be an issue.

I know the product page says recommended for slides 188" to 193-3/4" wide because we do recommend to have some overhang on the sides of the slide out but that is not available in your case and it will still fit.

For your 12 foot 9-1/2 slide, use # LCV000168109 which is designed for slides measuring between 152-157 inches wide. The longest topper we offer is for slides 188-193-3/4 inches, so unfortunately we don't have anything that would work for your 16 foot 7-1/2 inch slider. For the 6 foot 7 inch slider, use # LCV000168105 Ihich is for sliders 74-79 inches long. I've linked you to a typical installation video.
