Having installed numerous slide toppers it only takes me about 15-20 minutes to get everything out and organized and then mounted up on the trailer. Before I place the final two screws into the extrusion rail to lock the bead in place and prevent the fabric from sliding in the rail I usually run the slide out in and out a few times to get all the wrinkles out, which can about 10-15 minutes. Overall with no experience and an extra set of hands you could easily have this in place in about 45 minutes to an hour.
At 7' in length the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000165062 is going to be much easier to work with since you won't have to have 3 guys to hold it while sliding it through the railing. You will want to pick up some butyl tape # AL28FJ for the mounting brackets to prevent water from leaking in through the mounting screws.
I've attached one of my installation videos below where I'll walk you through the entire process so that you can get your new slide topper properly installed.
