Benefits of 5000 Series RV Slide Topper

The 5000 series RV slide-out awning boasts a particularly clean, integrated look for your rig, featuring an enclosed head design, a flat-oval-shaped crossbar and mounting bracket covers. The heavy-duty 13.5-ounce vinyl is constructed with heat-welded, leak-proof seams to prevent water infiltration and seam damage. Plus, we’ve designed and tested it to withstand -25°F, so it won’t crack in cold winter temperatures. Available in white or black color options, the Solera 5000 Series slide-out awning comes in sizes ranging from 66” to 192” wide and 48” deep.

True Course Advanced Bluetooth® Trailer Sway Control System

This state-of-the-art sway control system has the ability to operate independently of the driver by bypassing the trailer braking controller and can effectively reduce trailer sway during unexpected emergency maneuvers. 

Additionally, our innovative patent-pending microprocessor technology can promptly and securely activate the trailer brakes, effectively controlling the sway and guaranteeing a safer towing experience.

How to Measure for an RV Slide-Out Awning

Watch the above video for a step-by-step guide to measuring for an RV slide-out awning.

When measuring your RV for a replacement slide topper awning, simply measure between the outside edges of both slide-out room flanges. When placing an order, the fabric measurement should correspond to the flange-to-flange measurement (note: the fabric itself will measure 5” shorter than the complete awning width). For example: A flange-to-flange slide-out size of 64” (or 5’3”) will require an awning width selection of 6’ (5’7” fabric) for complete coverage. Also, you can place your slide-out topper up to 5” above the trim on top of your slide-out room, giving you more flexibility during installation.

How to Replace Slide-Out Awning Fabric

In the below video, we'll walk you through the process of replacing the existing RV slide-out topper fabric on your rig. Tools needed for the job include step ladders, a drill with appropriate bits, a Phillips head screwdriver, hex wrenches, silicone lubricant, a straight edge or square, a tape measure, a non-permanent marker, a metal file, masking tape, scissors, a rubber mallet and cotter pins.
