They also keep water outside if you have to bring the slides in when it's raining. We have had to pack up in light rain, and it was nice to leave all that water outside. One of the things I hadn't considered was how much heat they keep from building up on the slide-out roof.

Some people are concerned about the water pooling on the topper, but to me that's no big deal. It will either evaporate or it will flow off when the slide in brought in. No biggie.
