Solera RV Awning - LCV000163285
Highlights
- Keeps Rain and Debris Off Your Slide-Out: Covers the top to stop leaves, twigs, and water from collecting and causing seal damage or mildew.
- Moves Automatically with Your Slide: Extends and retracts in sync with your slide-out, so there’s nothing extra to set up or store.
- Fabric Stays Tough in Any Weather: Premium 13.5-oz vinyl with heat-welded seams won’t crack down to -25°F and resists leaks.
- Simple DIY Installation: Comes with brackets, hardware, and awning rail—mounts directly to the slide box with self-tapping screws.
- Sized for Proper Coverage: Fits slide-outs 74"–79" wide with 48" extension; needs 7" clearance on each side.
- Maintains Tight, Smooth Operation: Roller tension can be set between 12–16 turns for firm fabric that drains rainwater easily.
Features to know about
Keeps Rain and Debris Away: Automatic Slide-Out Coverage
The Solera RV Slide-Out Awning protects your slide-out roof by covering it every time the room extends or retracts. It automatically moves with the slide, keeping water, leaves, and dirt from collecting on top. That means no more climbing up to sweep off debris or worrying about water pooling near your seals. The awning extends 48" and fits slide-outs 74"–79" wide, giving a snug, protective fit that keeps the top of your slide clean and dry.
Built to Handle the Elements: 13.5-oz Heavy-Duty Vinyl Fabric
The fabric is made from premium 13.5-oz vinyl for long-lasting durability. It’s cold-crack tested to -25°F, so it won’t stiffen or split when temperatures drop. Heat-welded seams block moisture from seeping through, preventing leaks and mildew. This tough material holds up to sun, rain, and wind season after season, keeping your slide-out protected year-round.
Simple Two-Person Installation: All Components Included
Everything you need comes in the box—brackets, hardware, and the awning rail. The fabric is already mounted on the roller, so setup goes smoothly with a second set of hands. The awning rail can be installed up to 5" above the slide trim, and you’ll just need 7" of clearance on both sides. Once it’s mounted, the roller tension is pre-set with 12–16 turns, so it retracts cleanly and stays tight without sagging.
Prevents Long-Term Damage: Sealed, Tight-Fitting Design
By shielding the top of your slide from standing water and debris, the topper helps prevent leaks, warped seals, and mold buildup. Its white fabric and matching hardware blend neatly with your RV exterior while giving your slide-out a clean, finished look. The result is a smoother-sealing slide and less time spent cleaning or repairing damage down the road.
Specs

Note
- Important installation 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.

Received this 7' Lippert Solera Slide-Topper very quickly from etrailer. It came in a very strong tube with no shipping damage. My room measured 74" which was right on the border between a 6 1/2 and 7 Foot Topper. I went with the 7 foot and am happy with the additional coverage. I put it on by myself in about an hour and everything needed was included. This is a great improvement to our trailer.

Definitely watch the video on installation for some good pointers. A friend helped me install this, it took us a couple of hours but we took our time and wanted to make sure everything was sealed and done right. Great Saturday afternoon project though! I installed it on a 2018 KZ Escape 18' trailer for the dinette slide.

We installed this slide topper a year ago and are very happy with it. It came with all the hardware and was mostly a 1 person install with a little help from my wife for the final step. It’s a nice value and good addition to our trailer. My wife made a removable canvas cover for it that protects the vinyl when the trailer is in storage.

I have a fix for you to help restore the tension for your awning. You will want to remove the slide topper from the brackets and reroll the awning roller 14 times to add enough tension to the springs. You will also want to ensure the end caps are properly secured to keep the tension on your springs. If this does not help, please let me know.

This unit arrived with no damage to the shipping container. Some small scuffs were on the hardware, which to me indicates this was from the factory as all packaging was intacted. Each of the three slide toppers I received had small metal shavings throughout the unit. These were inside the internal packaging which indicates to me that this was from the factory.

- 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.

view full answer... - 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...

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 Many Times to Wind Solera Slide Topper for Proper TensionPut 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.
view full answer... - Correct Solera RV Slide-Out Awning MeasurementsHello, 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,...
view full answer... - How Could Tension of Slide Out Awning be LoweredHey 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.

view full answer... - Slide Topper that Fits Flange to Flange Dimension of 79 inchesHey Kevin, since we know your flange to flange dimension is 79 inches the correct Solera slide topper in white would be the part # LCV000163285 that you referenced. This comes with everything you would need to install!
view full answer... - Adding Tension To Solera Slide Out ToppersThanks 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. Clockwise for the idler head. Counter clockwise for the drive head. I will link a couple install guides to help you reconnect everything. You can jump to...

view full answer... - Proper Solera Slide Topper Tension AdjustmentAccording to Solara (Lippert), the correct number of turns to set the proper tension of their slide toppers like # LCV000163285 is between 12 to 16 turns, so I'd consider 14 to be a pretty good happy medium.

The manufacturer recommends rolling it completely back up and then unrolling it only one revolution and attaching while the slide out is closed or at max slid 6" away from the RV.

Also be sure your end caps are properly installed so the tension doesn't slip during operation.
view full answer... - Understanding Slide Out Awning Measurements to Choose Correct ReplacementFortunately, you do not have to consider the projection length. All Solera Slider fabric produced before August 2014 allows for a 58 inch projection and all fabric produced after that date, which is what we carry, allows for a 48 inch projection. This is standard for slide-outs, so you do not need to measure how far it extends out. We offer both the RV Slide-Out Awnings as well as the Replacement Slide Topper Fabric. You do not need to add 2-1/2 inches when shopping for an RV Slide-Out...

- Troubleshooting Solera Slide Topper that is Sagging in Middle and Allowing Water to AccumulateDo you remember how many times the roller was wound before it was installed? Sounds like it wasn't wound quite enough which is allowing there to be sag like you mentioned which holds water. Solera slide toppers like the part # LCV000163285 should be wound 12 to 16 times. We do not have a center support system.
view full answer... - Loosen Lippert Slide Topper TensionI reached out to my contact at Lippert to verify the procedure for loosening the tension on your slide topper awning. I have attached a link to the installation guide. On page 6 and step 11 is a description of releasing the awning tension. I have also included a link to a video of the install instructions produced by Lippert. Keep in mind that there is a torsion spring inside of the roll up tube and much like an oldfashioned pull down household shade - if you let go it will whiz around...
view full answer... - Which Direction Does Awning Roller Need to Turn When Winding for Install When winding awning rollers like the Solera RV Slide Out Awning part # LCV000163285 you wind them towards the RV. So like if the roller was on the ground the direction you'd roll the tube would be the direction that would roll the tube towards the body of the RV. This puts tension in the roller in the direction that allows the fabric to be held tight when the awning is out and then will roll itself back up as the arms close. You'll want to roll the tube between 12 and 16 times to get...

You'll want to remove the slide topper from the brackets and reroll the awning roller 14 times to add enough tension to the springs. You'll also want to ensure your end caps are properly secured to keep the tension on your springs.
view full answer... - What Color Slide-out Topper or Awning Will Attract Heat the MostIf you're in an area where the sun is constantly beating down, using a white slideout topper like the Solera # LCV000163285 as opposed to a black one like the # LCV000168105 is definitely the way to go. Black tends to make things hotter, so if your goal is try to keep the awning fabric from attracting heat and potentially damaging the slideout under it, white is the way to go. I've also linked our entire selection of white slideout toppers in case you need a different size.
