Question:

What is the difference between the etrailer slide topper and the Solera topper besides price?

Expert Reply:

Hey Greg! Aside from the price, one of the biggest differences is how the toppers are packaged and installed. The Solera Slide Topper comes with the traditional one-piece roll tube and mounts directly to the Solera prep brackets found on many RVs. Solera also gives you the option of black # LCV000165063 or white # LCV000163279 fabric.

The etrailer Slide Topper # e69QV uses a sectional roll tube and ships in a much smaller package, which allows us to ship it without the added expense of freight. It uses a heavy-duty 4-layer vinyl fabric with reinforced high-stress areas, and the fabric panels are fused instead of stitched to eliminate needle holes that can become tear points. If you have the Solera prep brackets, you can add the Adapter Brackets # e76QV and use those existing mounts instead of drilling new holes.

If you don't specifically need a white topper, I would go with the etrailer version.

What is the flange-to-flange measurement on your slide-out?
