Solera RV Slide Topper Awning

How to Measure for an RV Slide-Out Awning

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.


Solera RV Slide Topper Awning

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

Solera RV slide out awning 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.

  • How to Add Tension to Solera Slide-Topper
    When installing/adjusting the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000163285 tension is applied by rotating the awning roller 14 times. This should apply the needed spring tension so that the fabric doesn't billow in the wind or leave enough slack that it sags when collecting some rain water. Also make sure that you have at least a slight decline from the awning rail to the end of the fabric so that water can flow off the awning.

  • Recommended Slide-Topper for R-Pod with Box Width of 6-1/2 Feet
    When determining the correct Slide-Topper to install on your 178 R-Pod, you will just want to be sure you are measuring the box width on the slide-out. Box width is measured on the outside font of box, including the flange. If you have a box width of 6-1/2 feet (78 inches), you will want the Solera 7' Slider (Slide-Topper) # LCV000168105. This 7 foot Solera Slider works perfectly with box width ranges of 74 to 79-3/4 inches. This particular model is black with black hardware, but it is...

    Put the pin back in and wind it 12-16 times rolling it towards the camper to put the correct tension in the slide topper # LCV000163285 before installing it. This will give you the correct amount of tension for extending and retracting the awning.

  • Correct Solera RV Slide-Out Awning Measurements
    Hello, sorry for any confusion. For determining the proper size Solera Slider your project requires you need to measure the total width of your slide room from the outside including the flange then add a minimum of 5" (2-1/2" each for the left/right side overhang). Yes you can have greater than 2-1/2" overhang if you want, such as the 3" stated, it is just suggested that you do not go any less in width. For the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - 6'7" Wide - 48" Projection - White, # LCV000163285,...

  • How Much Does a Slide Topper Typically Hang Over a Slide Out
    I attached a picture that shows about how much a slide topper typically hangs over a slide out when installed for you to compare to what you have. If you can get me the width of your slide out including the distance from outside of flange to the outside of the other flange I can help you pick out what you'd need.

  • How Could Tension of Slide Out Awning be Lowered
    Hey Mark, it would be a matter of disconnecting the awning from the awning rail and then letting it roll itself out a couple times and then reattaching it. Hopefully you still have the pin that locks the roller to the arm assembly. If you fastforward to the 10 minute mark of the attached video link you can see how this all goes together.

  • Is There A Way To Reduce Sag In A Slide-Out Awning
    There are a few things you can try to tighten up your awning, but the tensioner will not have a manual adjuster, unfortunately. First, I suggest checking all your bolts and or screws to make sure they are all this tight. If they have loosened over time, it can cause some droopage. Next, you can pull the awning off and let it unwind. This sounds highly counterintuitive, but it will then allow you to roll it back up. The tension may have loosened as well and this can sometimes tighten...

  • Adding Tension To Solera Slide Out Toppers
    Thanks for the great question. Not knowing how far either side has slipped I would remove all tension for the arm and start over at zero tension. To add tension to your Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - 6'7" Wide - 48" Projection - White # LCV000163285 you need to detach the arm from the extension rod. Then spin the torsion arm 14 times.

  • Tension Setting Solera RV Slide-Out Awning
    Tension can be adjusted to loosen your Solera RV Slide-Out Awning, # LCV000163285 if you choose to. However, you are probably just fine and you want tension to hold the fabric tightly so as to not sag. Yes, there will become a point when too much restriction against an RV slide will be an issue, but I don't think you will reach that point from this topper.
