Question:

Good morning I am interested in 2 slider toppers one of them would be e39QV. But I only see black? Also what is the difference between your topper and Solera? Thank you.

Good morning Doug!

Yes, our etrailer Slide-Out Toppers like # e39QV are currently only available in black. If you'd prefer white, Solera offers that option, and we have the 97" White Solera Slide-Out Topper # LCV000163289, which fits slide-outs measuring 92"–97" flange to flange.

The biggest differences are price, materials, and construction. Our etrailer toppers are considerably less expensive and actually use a heavier 16-oz, 4-layer vinyl compared to Solera's 13.5-oz vinyl. Both have heat-welded seams, but ours also features reinforced stress points for added durability.

Solera uses a one-piece roller tube with the fabric already installed, while ours comes in smaller sections that you assemble, helping reduce shipping costs. Both provide the same basic protection against rain and debris.

Personally, I think our etrailer toppers are an excellent value if you're happy with black! However, Solera is still a great option, especially if you'd prefer white or want less assembly involved. Both will hold up similarly.

What is the flange-to-flange measurement of your second slide-out? I'd be happy to help you find the correct size for that one too!

@DougK Thanks for the measurement! Unfortunately, our etrailer-branded toppers aren't available for a 145" slide-out. The largest one we carry only fits slide-outs up to 139" flange to flange. I'd go with the Solera 145" White Slide-Out Topper # LCV000163298 instead, which fits slide-outs measuring 140"–145" flange to flange, so it'll be a great fit for yours!
