Expert Reply:

You 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, as you can see by the accompanying photo a customer sent in of their awning when it was installed.

I have added a link to a video review as well as a link to our entire selection of awnings for you to take a look at.
