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 also available in white with wide hardware using part # LCV000163285.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.

If the box width on your R-Pod is 6 feet and 1/2 inch (72-1/2 inches), you will instead want the Solera 6.5' Slider in Black # LCV000165063 or in White with # LCV000163279. This Slide-Topper is perfect for box width ranges of 68 inches to 73-3/4 inches. When we installed a Slide-Topper on an R-Pod, this is the length that we used as well (see attached video).
