Question:

how do the solera slide toppers perform in heavy winds and the aspect of billowing when extended and retracted while traveling down the road do the toppers have any type of cover covering them. Thank You

The Solera RV Slide-Out Awnings will hold up in heavy winds as they have a pre-set tension to reduce billowing and they are made of a much heavier fabric (13.5 oz) which has a five year warranty. Therefore, there should not be too much of a concern with the awning holding up in strong winds.

In regards to travel, there is not any sort of cover for the slide topper but again the pre-set tension system is going to prevent wind from getting under the fabric and causing tears. The Solera RV Slide-Out Awnings are pretty durable overall which you can see by browsing some of the reviews on the product page.

I have attached for you a list of all our Solera RV Slide-Out Awnings. In order to choose the correct one you will need to measure the width of the slide-out flange to flange and then chose a cover that fits this width. The Solera RV Slide-Out Awning part # LCV000163287 for example fits slide-out between 80" - 85" wide.
