Slide out topper should I install or not

Forum Discussion
You will find many opinions on this... Usually the ones that have them love them , and the ones that don't , say they are not needed. .
I am in the yes camp, have had them on my last several trailers , after not having them on my first several . .I , myself see a difference and would not go without them . .
pros -
They keep the top of the slides free of debris , and some say they keep the inside cooler... Some also say they keep the roof dry, when retracting the slides, they lessen the chance of water in the camper... I don't see this , IF your trailers slide wipers are there and working , you should not get any water
Cons -
Some report flapping in the wind , and making noise
Another item to clean and maintain
The cost of doing them
