Hi Fred, Thanks for the pic and reply. To be perfectly honest I think that's what they're talking about. But not 100 percent. You're saying the needles and leaves get trapped in the topper itself.... that's not cool!
The one I had was the SideOut Kover III from Carefree of Colorado.
If you are being offered a Dometic A&E Awning that is metal covered, there are now two types:
SlideTopper Full Cover: This one is similar to mine and looks like it may have cleanout issues.
SlideTopper Elite EZ: This is a really neat design that covers it while retracted, but the cover stays up next to the coach when extended. So the leaves fall off just like an uncovered model during retraction. I don't know if the design has other problems, maybe someone here has one.
The product page has a video you can watch it in action:
