Slide Topper Awnings Will Not Fit

Hello!

First time RVers here, we've owned it about a month now and have spent close to two weeks in it! It's a 2017 Evergreen I-Go 31ft, pretty rare manufacturer so that may lead to some of my issues... Anyways this will be used as a home away from home for my wife while she is on residency out of state for a few months. Because of the length of time we wanted to install slide toppers to help prevent any excess rain intrusion and of course the heat and debris benefits. Well we called a mobile tech to get a quote and he said that we couldn't install toppers because they wouldn't fit due to there not being enough clearance between the top of the slide and the roof. I started comparing ours to others and sure enough our slides close very close to the roof line compared to most. Long story short is there an alternative to the traditional slide topper awnings that might work in our case? Thanks!

    There's a word missing from your sentence. Do you mean "with" them or "without" them?

    From the rest of his post I would assume (safely probably) that he meant "with". :)

  • I personally like the slide toppers. Never ever had any issue with them with water or debris under them. Only issue is on some of the longer ones, they will pool some water on top. Bringing slide in gets rid of the water.

    This is one of those items that you either see a benefit and like them, or you don't.
