adding slide toppers

My bro in law has a Jayco TT that he wants to add slide toppers to, where is the best place to order form with the best price?

We will install them ourselves.. My last 3 RV's all had them installed at the factory so I am no help on finding them...
  • We prefer full awnings. They don't make as much noise as the toppers in the wind and can help a lot in a sunny summer location. What brand is the awning? Check their website as that is where a dealer will order from and then usually mark it up.
  • Tough Top Awnings. Great products and CS. No affiliation.

    Tough Top makes replacement fabric for slide toppers. They do not make or sell complete slide toppers or hardware.

    Avoid Lipperts Solera brand of toppers. Absolute junk when compared to A&E/Dometic or Carefree of Colorado.

    I knew that... He has already checked the local dealer, just looking for alternative pricing... Lippert products Solera is junk I agree... their pricing is not even that much lower ( if at all ) than the Dometic, or Carefree....

    There is NO awning, he wants to ADD slide toppers to a TT that does not have any

    The dealer and CW were his first 2 calls.... he was/is hoping to find a better/cheaper alternative to buy from. With all the folks on here, i thought that someone would jump with a “must buy from” .....

    Believe it of not, Amazon has shown decent pricing with free shipping.... He may go that route if nothing else pops up.
