Dometic 132-Inch Black Vinyl Slide-Out Awning Topper (Deluxe)
Dometic 132-Inch Black Vinyl Slide-Out Awning Topper (Deluxe) — Product description
The Dometic Slide-Out Awning is a 132-inch black vinyl topper that shields your RV slide roof from leaves, water, and debris. It extends and retracts automatically with the slide, so there's nothing to flip or crank. This Deluxe kit ships complete with the mounting rail and hardware for a clean replacement or first-time install.
Your slide-out room is one of the best things about a modern RV, but every time it's extended, the roof of that box is collecting whatever falls from above. Leaves, pine needles, acorns, bird droppings, standing rainwater, road grit. All of it piles up on the slide roof, and when you pull the room back in, that debris gets dragged across the seal and into the cavity where it can jam the mechanism or start a slow leak. The Dometic Slide-Out Awning is the simple fix. It's a 132-inch black vinyl topper that mounts above the slide and rolls out to shield the roof any time the room is out.
What makes this one easy to live with is that you don't have to think about it. The awning is spring-loaded and tied to the slide itself, so it extends automatically as the room comes out and retracts as the room goes back in. There's no switch to flip, no crank, no separate step to remember when you're breaking camp in the rain. Push the slide button like you always do and the topper does its job in the background.
The fabric is a heavy black vinyl with a matching black vinyl weathershield, the wrap that covers the roll when the awning is stowed and keeps sun and weather off the material between trips. The end cap is black to match. The result is a clean, dark topper that sits quietly against most RV roofs instead of drawing the eye. Black also hides the dirt and streaking that show up fast on lighter toppers, so it keeps looking presentable a lot longer.
This is the Deluxe version, and it ships as a complete unit with the mounting rail and hardware in the box. That matters, because a lot of slide toppers are sold as fabric-and-roller only and assume you already have the rail bolted to the coach. With this kit you get the rail and the fasteners you need to hang it, which makes it a straightforward replacement when your original topper has gone brittle, cracked, or torn, or a clean first-time install on a slide that never had one.
The 132-inch length refers to the fabric width, so measure your slide opening before you order. Slide toppers are sized to the slide, and the rule of thumb is that the topper should sit a few inches wider than the slide box on each side so it fully covers the roof and sheds water clear of the seals. If your slide measures close to 132 inches wide, this is your size. If it's noticeably narrower or wider, step to the length that matches. A topper that's too short leaves roof exposed, and one that's too long can bunch or catch.
Because it's vinyl, this topper is built to shrug off UV and rain season after season, but it's still a tensioned piece of fabric on a spring roller, not a permanent roof. In heavy wind you'll want the slide in, and if water pools on the topper after a long storm it helps to bump the slide to break the pool and let it drain. Treated that way, a good vinyl topper lasts for years and pays for itself the first time it keeps a load of wet leaves out of your slide seal.
It's worth being clear about what this is and isn't. This is an RV slide-out topper, the small awning that lives over a slide room. It isn't a patio awning you sit under, and it isn't a marine or boat component. If you own a travel trailer, fifth wheel, or motorhome with a slide, and you want to protect that slide roof and keep debris out of the mechanism, this is exactly the part for the job.

Frequently asked questions
What does this slide-out awning actually do?
It mounts above your RV slide-out room and rolls out over the slide roof whenever the room is extended. That shields the roof from leaves, pine needles, bird droppings, and standing water, and stops that debris from being dragged into the seal and mechanism when the slide comes back in.
Does it open and close by itself?
Yes. The awning is spring-loaded and tied to the slide, so it extends automatically as the room comes out and retracts as it goes back in. There's no separate switch, crank, or step to remember.
Will the 132-inch size fit my slide?
The 132 inches is the fabric width. Measure your slide opening first. A slide topper should sit a few inches wider than the slide box on each side to fully cover the roof and shed water clear of the seals. If your slide is close to 132 inches wide, this is your size.
Does the kit include the mounting rail?
Yes. This is the Deluxe version and it ships complete with the mounting rail and hardware. You don't need to source a separate rail, which makes it a clean first-time install or a direct replacement.
Can I leave it out in the rain?
The black vinyl handles rain fine. If water pools on the fabric after a long storm, bump the slide to break the pool and let it drain. In heavy wind, bring the slide in so the topper isn't loaded.
Is this a patio awning I can sit under?
No. This is a slide-out topper that lives over a slide room to protect its roof. It isn't the large patio awning you extend over your campsite seating area.
Is this a boat or marine part?
No. It's an RV slide-out awning for travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes with a slide room. It isn't a marine component.
What color is it?
Black throughout. The fabric is black vinyl, the weathershield is black vinyl, and the end cap is black for a color-matched look against a dark RV roof.
Is it worth adding a slide topper?
For most owners, yes. Keeping debris and water off the slide roof protects the seal and the slide mechanism, which are far more expensive to fix than a topper. It also means less climbing up to clean the roof before you pull the room in.
