Slide out topper Yes or No?

I think it depends on the type of camping you do. Pros have been outlined above. Some cons are flapping in the wind and pooling of water on the cover. More noise in RV if flapping in the wind. Some need a beach ball or similar device underneath the cover to prevent this. Airborne stuff can still get underneath the cover which may still require some attention before closing the slide.

If the slide awning is adjusted correctly, you will have minimal flapping. Placing a ball up there only places stress on it and another hassle to climb up to place it and then to retrieve it, unless you forget it was there and bring your slide in, then wham!
