My Outback is my first camper with slides. It does not have toppers, although I've thought heavily on this issue, I've decided I don't want them. I've read, even with slides, water and derbies still catch under them. They flop in the wind, people put beach balls under them to prevent wind, not to mention what would happen if snowed a foot or two on them (we winter camper and snow on top of the slide is not fun!) But the weight of snow on top of a topper can't be good either. Too many reason for no topper in on my camper.
I carry a ladder and brush off the tops. It's just part of the breaking camp process now. Besides, I usually go ahead and wipe all the water off and any grit or dirt. I don't want dirty slides INSIDE the camper. I'll wipe down the sides also. Actually, the sides of the slides get clean every time they get retracted.
No objection to anyone having them, they are just not for me.
