Size of Brackets For Solera RV Slide Out Awning  

Updated 01/20/2020 | Published 01/18/2020

Question:

I have a 2013 Thor Tuscany 4ex that has Carefree Care of Colorado slide toppers. I need to replace one and wanted to know if the brackets will cover the brackets I take off from the old awning. Will they?

Without knowing the exact size of the current brackets I don't know if they will cover them. However the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000182037 has mounting brackets that are 7 inches long, and the mounting surface is just over 1 inch before it curves outward for the rod. I attached a photo so you can compare it to the brackets on your 2013 Thor Tuscany.

If you are replacing the slide topper you want to measure properly so that you get the best fit you can. You'll want to measure from the outside flange of the slide out to the other outside flange and this will give you the size you need. You'll want the fabric to extend past the edge on each side by about 2 to 2.5 inches so that the box is protected and leaves and other debris doesn't get inside the track.

Butyl Tape will seal behind the brackets, you can use # CAM25013 when you install your new slide topper.

I attached a video and our selection of slide toppers for you to check out.
