- Keeps Rain and Debris Out: Protects your slide-out roof from leaves, water, and mold that can cause leaks.

- Sized for 68"-73" Slides: Awning measures 73" wide x 48" long and needs 7" clearance on each side.
Features to know about
Stops Water and Debris from Damaging Your Slide-Out: Automatic 73" Black Topper
This Solera RV Slide-Out Awning keeps your slide-out roof clear of leaves, rainwater, and dirt every time you extend or retract the slide. Once installed, it automatically rolls in and out with the slide, creating a tight seal that protects against pooling water, mildew, and leaks. The topper fits slide-outs that measure 68" to 73" wide with a 48" extension, providing full coverage without you having to sweep off debris each time.
Built to Handle the Elements: Premium 13.5-oz Vinyl with Heat-Welded Seams
The heavy-duty vinyl fabric is made to last through years of outdoor use. It’s a premium 13.5-oz material that resists cracking in cold weather down to -25°F, so it stays flexible and strong year-round. The heat-welded seams prevent leaks and water intrusion better than stitched seams, keeping the top of your slide protected even during long storms.
Clean Look and Long-Lasting Performance: Matching Black Fabric and Hardware
The black topper fabric and matching hardware give a clean, uniform look against your RV. The 73" awning rail and 73" wide fabric extend 48" out over the slide, forming a tight, professional fit. Designed with durability and appearance in mind, it guards the slide roof while blending seamlessly with other black exterior trim.
Simple Setup with Everything You Need: Brackets, Hardware, and Rail Included
The kit comes complete with the mounting brackets, self-tapping screws, and awning rail you’ll need for installation. The roller tube arrives pre-assembled with the fabric already attached, so you only have to secure the brackets to the side wall and slide the roller into place. Allow at least 7" of clearance on each side for a proper mount, or choose the next size down if space is tight.

The slide-out awnings were easy to install. One issue I encountered was with one of the set screws. There was excess paint in the threaded hole. I cleaned the threads with a tap and it worked fine.

Product is as expected. The product was received with scratches on the metal mounting brackets. This is disappointing since the brackets are 100% visible. I will try some wax to hide or diminish unsightliness. Improved packaging suggested. Directions for install were acceptable and there were online resources.

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.

Update: slide out awning has performed as advertised, helped all the rain water go around the slide out opening, preventing any leaks. Worth every penny.

I received slide topper in excellent condition. I installed it last week. Mounting was very easy, as it took about 5 minutes to do brackets and another 15 to actually put topper on the brackets and secure.

It wasn't hard to install, you definitely need two people. Prior to installation of the fabric into keder channel, I was able to rotate the gutter spout up and away from the keder channel instead of cutting it off like the installation video showed. I then resealed the gutter into place. Looks great! and so far it is working great!.

The toppers have done well and really kept our slides clean. I always smile when watching others on their ladders before packing up sweeping those slides. Raise a glass and remember when it was me.
The install was smooth and I would highly suggest the Lippert video to make sure you have a sense of the process steps because they are key. Making the correct final adjustments to avoid rubbing on you slide are crucial.
Definitely should have a helper as it makes the shaky hands of drilling into the side of your trailer much more secure. I would absolutely suggest these to anyone

Solera slide topper arrived in good shape on our 2018 R-Pod 180. Installed by myself with no problems. Instructions were clear and understandable and after watching the etrailer video on installation really made it simple. The topper performed as desired all of last years camping. It was really nice that I did not have to clean any leaves or debris from the slide out the entire year. Very satisfied.

ETrailer was awesome. After price matching (beating) the price for these slideout toppers at Camping World some arrived damaged during shipping. They promptly corrected all of my issues and sent replacements.
After this great customer support I'll use ETrailer whenever possible from now on.

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.

The awning arrived quickly, and with the help of a friend -- neither of us had done this job before -- and a couple of YouTube instructionals, the job went smoothly. Done in about two hours, start to finish. The component quality met my expectations, the appearance suits me just fine, and it functions as intended.

See what our Experts say about this Solera RV Awning
- How to Determine Correct Slide Out Awning for TrailerYou do need 6 inches of clearance from the edges of your slide box in order to fit a Solera awning. To determine the correct slide-out awing you simply need to measure from flange to flange and the fabric will need to extend at least 2-1/2 inches beyond that measurement. For example, if you measured 149 inches from flange to flange you would need the Solera 13' Slider (Slide-Topper) # LCV000165061 (Black) or # LCV000163299 (White). The assembly will only extend a few inches past the awning,...

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.

The shape of the R-Pod campers make it slightly more challenging for adding an awning but it can be done on some models. If your camper has room to support a 10' awning, I suggest the following items: To add the 10' Awning # LCV000211447 you will need: - Solera Manual Pull Style Awning Drive Head # LC271181 - Solera Manual Pull Style Awning...

view full answer... - Where to Measure to Select the Right Size Slide-Out Topper/AwningThe only measurement I would need is the overall width of the slide-out including the flanges or trim around the perimeter of the slide-out. So if that measurement were 72 inches overall then you would use a 6-1/2 foot option such as # LCV000165063. It fits slide-outs that are 68 to 73-3/4 inches wide. I have linked a video and included a link to the slide-out awning main page for you.

For example, if you normally would get the 79 inch wide Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168105, but it was a couple of inches too wide, you would go with the next size down, which is the 73 inch Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000165063.

view full answer... - Solera Slider Awning Support Arm Bracket Mounting on R-PodAttaching the support arm bracket onto the slide out of your R-Pod would not require special steps beyond what you saw in the install video that I attached. The weight of the slide topper is lighter than you think most likely so the 5 self-tappers on each bracket would be strong enough.

I have been using my slide awnings for a year now without any issues. I dont have to worry about sticks and pine cones getting on top of my slide outs. It keeps me from having to climb on top of the RV. I highly recommend these to everyone I see.
