Why RV Owners Choose the Solera 5000 Slide Topper
🛡️ Superior Protection Against the Elements
Keep dirt, leaves, bird droppings, tree sap, and debris off your RV slide-out roof while preventing water from pooling on top. This helps prevent damaged seals, water infiltration, and mold formation - common issues that lead to costly repairs. The heavy-duty construction stands up to harsh weather conditions year-round.
💪 Built to Last in Any Climate
Engineered with heavy-duty 13.5 oz vinyl fabric featuring heat-welded seams that resist leaks and tears. Cold-crack tested to -25°F, this slide topper delivers dependable performance whether you're camping in Arizona summers or Colorado winters. The durable construction means years of reliable protection.
✨ Sleek, Integrated Appearance
Unlike bulky aftermarket solutions, the Solera 5000 features an enclosed head assembly, flat-oval crossbar, and bracket covers that deliver a streamlined, factory-integrated look. Your RV maintains its clean exterior profile while gaining superior protection.
🔧 Easy DIY Installation
Includes everything you need: fabric roll, mounting hardware, and railing for straightforward installation. The flexible design allows mounting up to 5" above the slide-box trim, accommodating various RV configurations. Most RV owners can complete installation in an afternoon with basic tools.
⚙️ Automatic Operation - Set It and Forget It
Once installed, the slide topper permanently attaches to your slide-out room and operates automatically. It extends and retracts in perfect sync with your slide-out movement - no manual operation required. Enjoy effortless protection every single time.

How to Measure for Perfect Fit
Step 1: Measure between the outside edges of both slide-out room flanges (the metal edges on each side of your slide-out).
Step 2: Select the awning width that corresponds to your flange-to-flange measurement. Note: The fabric will be approximately 5" shorter than the total awning width for proper fit and tension.
Example: If your flange-to-flange measurement is 64", you'll need the 6' awning option (which includes 5'7" of fabric) for complete coverage.
