Slide Toppers

Been looking at some new bright shiny objects...

Question on slide toppers. Looking at a model that has a front slide on right front and of course an awning. I am guessing that a topper cannot be on that slide because the attachment point may interfere with the awning. Or is something else?
  • Well I saw the unit in person that we are thinking about and it has the topper. Thanks all.

    Depends on the mounting, my Forester has a slide with a topper that is under the main awning, the only thing wrong I see is, when the main awning is lowered to the lowest position, there is a hump in the fabric, never been a problem though.
  • Our Fuzion has a topper under the awning on our living room slide. Works just fine and neither interferes with the other.

    But like Dutchman says you do lose outside space under the awning when the slide is there. Pretty silly design. But we rarely use the awning so it's pretty much a non-issue for us.

    It probably would.

    But ... you do know if the slide is actually under the awning, you losses some of that outdoor living space under the awning when the slide is out.

    I personally would never want a camper designed like that.
    Yeah I agree but the problem lies with the DW. Just saying.
