Slide cover for snowy weather
I have a new ORV 23DBS with a single slide. I plan to go skiing and camp overnight. Do I need a slide cover for the snow? Seems logical but... Anyway, is it something I can install or dealer does?

That's a tough one. If you don't have a cover you'll have to clear off the top of the slide before you retract it. If you do have a cover the snow will collapse it and I'm not sure what the effects of doing that repeatedly are.
Here is about 3" on mine. I have a long piece of styrofoam under each awning to support it in the rain - it sags bad. With the help of that, it took the snow ok but I didn't retract it that way. I'm not sure what would have happened if I had.
BTW, my TT came with a grade of Carefree slide out covers that is so cheaply made, only the OEM can buy it. I can't even get parts for it.
They really are a POC.
I've installed the consumer grade of Carefree awnings and they are twice the product these are.
I have no doubt I will have to replace them someday.
Pure junk.
