HOW TO: Install a slide topper awning

I've wanted a slide topper awning for a long time. It's taken my 9.5 years to finally decide to do it.

Here's my video that shows how I did it.

It's not a terribly difficult project, it's just time consuming. I worked on it several evenings after work, and one morning before work.

I had my local Northwood dealer order the awning from the factory and ship it up to them in a new delivery unit to avoid paying freight on such a large item.

  • Nice job.............thank you!
    I believe that Northwood now uses a gutter strip that incorporates the awning channel, as mine appears to have it.
