This topper keeps water and debris from sitting on top of your slide-out so seals stay tight and mold doesn’t form. The awning extends and retracts automatically with your slide-out, so you don’t have to remember to roll anything out or in. Once installed, it creates a barrier that stops leaves, sticks, and water from reaching the slide-out roof, keeping your rig cleaner and drier after every storm.
The heavy-duty 13.5-oz vinyl fabric is made to stand up to regular outdoor use. It’s cold-crack tested down to -25°F so it won’t stiffen or split in freezing weather, and the heat-welded seams block leaks that can damage your trim or siding. The black fabric pairs with matching black hardware for a clean, finished look that blends in with most setups.
This model fits slide-outs measuring 152" to 157" wide with a 48" extension and needs at least 7" of clearance on both sides. The awning rail measures 157" long, giving a snug, proper fit across the top of the box. If two slide-outs sit side by side, you’ll need 14" of total clearance between them to mount both toppers without interference.
The roller tube comes with the fabric already mounted, and the kit includes the brackets, hardware, and awning rail you need. The access plate mounts to the slide-out wall with self-tapping screws, and the brackets slide onto the plate’s track to hold the roller tube in place. You can mount the awning rail up to 5" above the trim for proper runoff and a clean angle that lets rain drain quickly.
Weighing around 55 pounds, this topper is easy to handle during install but still strong enough to stay taut and stable. The roller tube can be tensioned 12–16 turns for smooth operation and even fabric roll-up, keeping it tight and wrinkle-free as it extends and retracts with your slide-out.
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.

Ratings & Reviews
The metal strip that came with the awning, that holds the awning to the trailer was too short. Etrailer ordered me anothe one, that came the next week. No problems since.
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.
After receiving the first awning that a came damaged. I called and they were so accommodating to my needs, and resolved my case right away. Well definitely continue shopping at etrailer
Received item as described. Have not opened package to verify everything but ordering and follow up after delivery by etrailer was great.Shipping company was great as well as they called prior to delivery and were able to accommodate time since they needed signature upon delivery.
These fit well, withstand pretty strong winds (they flap some, but haven’t broken), and have stayed stretched tight and not sagged. And of course, they do a nice job of keeping rain, sticks and leaves off our slides. My 5th wheel is also considerably quieter when it rains. No problems after a full year of full time RVing…….don’t even have to think about them……..what’s not to like?
The slide topper is very well manufactured, the delivery was great. Nothing was damaged. The instructions for installation need a little work. Do not install until you watch a YouTube video first. . It took me about 3 hours
1st RV - 1st awning - 1st install - I have no comparison to rate the awning with 5 stars, but everything seem good quality and install was easily achieved with help to slide into place. One thing I wonder about is that the roller curves inward at the center towards the RV from tension. It may be due to the long length.
To start , let me say that ETRAILER has done their part by replacing an awning that had a factory tear in it . This slide topper I bought is 13 ft. long and not for the faint of heart to install by their self . I installed mine by hanging some rope hoops from the ceiling of my barn . It took me about 3 hours , not bad for an 80 year old guy .
The fabric on the awning came apart at seam after first camping trip. Could not resolve issue with Etrailer due to the cost to me of having to return defective part by truck freight. A XXX dollar item was going to cost me XXX dollars to return.
I have not done business with etrailer since.
Installed 3 solera slider (slide topper) on my Jayco 338 RETS Eagle Premier. Looks great and functions very well. Keeps rain, leaves and sticks from slide outs and retracting the slide outs for travel keeps inside of RV clean. Great investment, great price and great product. Very, very pleased. Thank you. Sam
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.
First of all the customer service at etrailer was 10 stars. The product came quickly via Estes and I was able to install before I leave for vacation. Now, why I gave it 4 stars. This was a manufacturer’s issue, the bracket that connects to the awning rod has a little compressed pin that holds the bracket to the roller, the pin was missing on one side causing it to come apart when the tension cotter pin was pulled out to release the awning tension. We had to take the end cap off to pull the rod back out and then rewind the tension. Thank goodness for the tension cotter pin which fit perfectly in the hole to hold the bracket and awning together. Again, this was Lipperts problem not etrailer. Otherwise, it works great.
Awning arrived fast, installation was quick and easy. 2 people under a hour. Costumer service was excellent.
Easy to install couple hours and it was done. was my first uncover install before I did two full campers easy process to do yourself more will be installed soon
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.
I purchased the Lippert solera slide topper for our camper sence all the reviews and information I have read is that this is the best brand to get.
Looks good and can't wait to install it this summer. The first one showed up damage & missing parts during freight shipping but I called etrailers customer service and they got things going on what to do next. Alison B. a customer service rep contacted me and with a few calls and emails they sent out a New one & everything worked out great. Thanks again to Alison & the customer service team .I will definitely purchase more from etrailer in the future. Pictures to be posted of the install later when warm weather returns.

I'll get that taken care of for you!
2019 3811ms Montana. These were easy to install, and all three went up in one day. No more worries of water standing or leaves when closing up trailer. I highly recommend this product! Had one issue with a damaged awning when it arrived, etrailer was very helpful and had a new one sent out promptly.
Took 2 weeks to receive it and the butyl tape i ordered was not in there.on the slide topper itself everything was there
The installation went well. I used the existing gutter rail to mount the topper. If I did it again, and I may still add it, I'd put the included awning rail above the existing rail to increase the slope of the topper. This would give better run off. It's a great topper.

Its so good to hear youre happy with the topper! It looks good as new.:)
Great product and super easy to install especially since my trailer already had the rail and brackets already installed. Only problem was that the package was damaged. Thankfully the product was not damaged though.
The awning design is poor and does not work as indicated. The fabric is weak and Water builds up in a pool causing unnecessary weight on the slide out. Would definitely would not buy again!
Do you have a question about this RV Awning?

The product is still going strong. You will need at least 3 people to help install it. The product has worked flawlessly since install.
