Do you guys do anything to keep the slide toppers from flapping? The wind down here in TX is horrendous!
I built some framework out of 3/4" PVC, that slides in between the top of the slidout and the awning itself.
For the 2 long slides I have three 5' sections that connect together with "T" couplers, and have "feet" at both ends, and every 5', that connect to the same "T" coupler. It's about 6" tall total.
For the small bedroom slide I made two 3' sections, also with feet at both ends and 1 in the middle.
Initially I built these to prevent water from pooling, and it worked well (until it SNOWED !!!) It also substantially decreases the "flapping"! (While not completely, it's considerably better than without!)
I plan on extending both ends of the longer ones about 18" ... this should reduce what's left of the flapping a little more.
This framework is not glued together, so the pieces come apart for easy storage.
