Slide out topper Yes or No?

I appreciate a topper. It keeps the debris, ie., leaves, moss or sticks off the slide and saves me from having to crawl up and sweep it. Adds a little shade during the summer. Nice too while winter camping. Snow rolls off before freezing to ice. All done with the push of a button from the inside. Bought my camper with the slide topper and don't remember the cost.

Same here, especially on the snow. Dew will get up there and freeze but rolls off with a slide topper. Note that on a previous RV, a TT, we had a slide topper installed after. It rolled up and flapped terribly in the wind, and we had to frequently bring the slide in to dump rainwater from it. Fast forward to our current RV that came with slide toppers/awnings. I noticed immediately that they rolled under, barely flap in winds, and dump rain water themselves. What a difference when they are correctly installed. Just be aware that if you experience any of this, it's not normal, not in our opinion.
