Solera 5000 RV Slide Topper Awning Size Guide for 88" & 151.5" Slide-Outs
Solera 5000 RV Slide Topper Awning Size Guide for 88" & 151.5" Slide-Outs
What is the correct size Solera 5000 Series slide topper awning for an 88-inch slide-out? Is the 13.1-foot size the fabric finish size or the frame size with a smaller fabric?
First establish what the 88-inch measurement covers. Lippert sizes the topper from the outside edge of one slide-out T-molding flange to the outside edge of the other. A box-only width, existing fabric width and complete awning width are different measurements. Do not choose a topper by adding a generic 2–2½-inch allowance.
For an 88-inch flange-to-flange measurement, Lippert's QR-026 measuring and variant-code chart, pages 2–3, lists the 86–91¾-inch range with 91-inch (7′7″) fabric and a nominal 96-inch (8-foot) awning. The black aftermarket code is V000168106; the chart's white code is V000163288. This is conditional sizing guidance, not a verified installation match until the measurement, series, mounting arrangement, clearances and projection are checked. The earlier 97-inch fabric recommendation corresponds to a different chart range.
“13.1 feet” is ambiguous. If the listing means 13′1″ fabric, that is 157 inches of fabric, paired with a nominal 13′6″ (162-inch) awning; white V000163300 is one exact example. It does not mean a 13′1″ frame. If 13.1 is a decimal-foot figure, it equals 157.2 inches and must not be silently read as 13 feet 1 inch. Confirm the full part number and the two dimensions in its listing.
The page title also mentions 151½ inches, although that measurement is not in the quoted question. If it is an actual flange-to-flange measurement, QR-026 places it in the 146–151¾-inch range; one standard row has 151-inch (12′7″) fabric and a 13-foot awning, black V000165061 or white V000163299. Other chart rows exist for some ranges, so confirm the exact variant and installation rather than assuming one universal choice.
Lippert's current V000168106 reference explains that fabric is 5 inches shorter than the complete awning width. Use the 5000 Series installation manual for the applicable mounting and clearance requirements. The six older product cards below cover several different sizes; their photos are representative, and they are not six recommendations for the reported 88-inch slide. Use each product page for current price and availability.
