Slide out awning

Way more pluses than minuses! Protects the top seal of slide out, makes slide out ceiling cooler
In summer.

Agreed. There are cons and they do sometimes flap in the wind. But we have had them on our rigs for the past 8 years (5 of which we were fulltime travelers) and never needed to bring the slides in due to it.

I won’t have an RV without slide toppers.

I have a motorhome with 2 slides that have awnings. I would never have any type RV without awnings on every slideout.

I never had a problem with the awning over the slide

Is an awning over a slide out worth the cost? I have had a couple leaks in my trailer due to debris collecting on the top of the slide out. Never had this problem before. Have a small leaf blower now but it is a little bit of a hassle to clean.

Cordless and carry a latter.

Debris doesn’t cause leaks. A lack of maintenance causes leaks...including not regular removal of debris from the top of slides. Wind may deposit debris on the top of slides, awning or not.
