Mount more than 3 " above slideout

The installation for this topper was straightforward - take your time. Some major points are noted with a *- buy some 3/4" butyl tape to seal all the holes you are going to make in the side of the trailer* mount the rail on the trailer side 6" above the top of the slideout NOT 3" as the installation guide says.- make a line on the side of the trailer with the ends of the rail marked and centered.- apply the butyl tape to the supports to go on the slideout and install the supports. The butyl…

Nice awning but quality control and shipping issues

I ordered this awning and hoped for the best with delivery. When it arrived, it looked like the tube in which the awning and parts were shipped was dropped on one end as it was dented in quite badly. However, the rest of the tube looked okay, so I annotated the damaged end of the tube and accepted the shipment.When I opened the tube, the first thing I found was that the Awning Rail was bent. That did not matter as I had one preinstalled on my RPod 179. The second thing I noticed was that the…

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Can be noisy when wind gusts hit the awning

I was excited to get this on my trailer and it is a nice addition. The install took some work but was not difficult, recommend two people for mounting the awning. If you are not comfortable/experienced with power tools watch the videos online and be sure you are comfortable or have it done professionally. Overall, the product is well made and works as described. Mine, as many others based on reviews, arrived with mild shipping damage in the form of scratched parts.The main issue I have with the

Pros
  • Provides extra shade and comfort for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Can be finicky in high winds or other adverse weather conditions

Happy with it now: my feedback

I gave it a 4 because of the following reasons. 1. The price-it has to cost a fortune to ship these, but they still seem pricey.2. Silver bolts on black hardware (see pictures). You spend this much and it looks tacky.3. Instructions-I am a social worker (not an engineer) and could write better instructions. These are the steps I found helpful with installation. First, attach the rail to the RV. Second, attach the mounting plates to the slideout. Then feed the topper in to the rail on the RV and

Pros
  • Easy to install hardware, canvas takes 2 people. Great quality. Instructions could be better organized.
Cons
  • May not fit all RV models

After install bringing the slide out caused to awning to walk up the top of the slide out and bent one of the support arms. I have been unable to reach anyone to obtain a replacement arm and ask about a fix. Possibly a shim to bring the awning out enough to clear to facia and eliminate the friction causing the walking. I’ll keep trying but any help would be appreciated.

Pros
  • Saves you time and money because you won’t have to constantly clean and maintain the slide-out room
Cons
  • Can be aesthetically unappealing in some cases

Slightly disappointed

I had ordered a smaller awning previously. I was disappointed that the design had changed. Now I have several different awnings on my 5th wheel.

Pros
  • RV Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • Can be difficult to clean due to its size and location on the RV

Happy Camper for my opinion

After a fluke of getting the wrong product the first time I was pleased when my awning arrived and complete. Instructions should be read carefully and probably a few times but with help of a second person the installation was easy.

Pros
  • Easy to install , helps keeping the leaves and debris off the slides
Cons
  • May develop mildew or mold if not cleaned regularly

Good so far - my new review

All of the screws were missing. Took a good 2 hours to locate something that would work. Easy installation after that. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Efficiently manages water runoff to prevent water damage
Cons
  • May not provide the same level of protection as other RV awnings on the market

Looks good in my review

Awning was pretty easy to install. The directions provided were only half there, had to watch a video on the specifics. I mean, literally, the second half of the install instructions, there wasn't any, no pages missing. Works great, I like it.

Pros
  • Reduces interior temperatures of your RV by deflecting the sun’s rays
Cons
  • Can be challenging to store when not in use
