{"product_id":"dometic-102-inch-slide-out-awning-black-deluxe-topper","title":"Dometic 102 Inch Slide-Out Awning, Black Vinyl Deluxe Topper","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eDometic's 102 inch Slide-Out Awning is the black-on-black Deluxe topper that keeps the roof of your slide-out room clean and dry. It rolls out automatically when you push the slide out and rolls itself back up when you bring the room in. No cranking, no ladder, no scrubbing leaves off the top of the slide before you pull it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen your slide-out room is extended, the top of it turns into a flat shelf. Leaves land there. Pine needles, road grime, rain, the little sticks that fall off whatever tree you parked under. It all collects on top of the slide, and the moment you pull the room back in, that mess rides right into the coach. Dometic's 102 inch Slide-Out Awning is the fix. It's a black-on-black topper that covers the roof of the slide while it's out, so the junk stays outside where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nice part is that you don't have to do anything to work it. The topper rides on a spring-loaded roller mounted to a rail along the roof line above the slide. Push the slide out, and the fabric unrolls to follow it. Bring the room back in, and the roller takes up the slack and pulls the fabric back onto the tube on its own. There's no crank, no separate switch, no climbing a ladder every time you set up camp. It just works with the slide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Deluxe version, and the difference is the weathershield. That's a black vinyl outer layer that wraps the rolled fabric while the slide is in and the topper is stored. Sun is what kills awning material over the years, and the weathershield takes that abuse instead of the main fabric. So the part that does the work stays protected between trips. Black end caps finish the ends of the roller and keep the whole assembly looking clean against a dark roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 102 inch measurement is the length of the awning, sized to span the slide-out opening. Slide toppers are matched to the width of the slide they cover, so this one is meant for a slide that measures out to 102 inches. Before you order, measure your slide-out opening. If you're replacing a worn topper, measure the old one and match it. Getting the length right is the whole game with these, because a topper that's too short won't cover the opening and one that's too long won't tension correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits the usual mix of rigs, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes with a slide-out room and the roof-line clearance for a rail. The kit comes with the mounting rail and the hardware, so you're not chasing down parts separately. That said, this isn't the lightest weekend project. It's a two-person job with ladder work, and the roller is under spring tension the whole time, so it has to be handled carefully during the mount and when you set the tension at the end. If you've done awning work before, you'll be fine. If you haven't, an RV shop can set it in an afternoon, and honestly that's the safer call with a tensioned roller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce it's up, it earns its keep fast. No more scrambling up a ladder to sweep off the slide before you retract it. No more water sheeting off the roof and pooling on the seals. Less grit grinding on the slide mechanism, and a cleaner roof every time you break camp. Keeping standing water off the top of the slide also takes a load off the slide seals, which are the parts that tend to leak once they get tired. For a black rig, the black fabric and black weathershield keep the whole look tied together instead of standing out. It's a simple piece of gear that quietly saves you a chore on every single trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is easy. Rinse it with fresh water when it gets dusty, and let it dry before you roll the room in for a long stretch of storage. Check the tension once a season, and look the fabric over for any tears while you're up there. That's about all it asks of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic operation, the topper extends and retracts right along with your slide-out room, no cranking or manual rollup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e102 inch length sized to span a wide slide-out opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl fabric stands up to sun, rain, and everyday grime on the roof of the slide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl weathershield wraps the rolled fabric to protect it from UV and weather while the room is stored\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack end caps finish the roller for a clean look against a dark roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded roller keeps tension on the fabric so it stays taut and sheds water instead of pooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeeps leaves, pine needles, water, and dirt off the top of the slide so none of it drops into your coach when you pull the room in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes the mounting rail and hardware, so you're not sourcing the rail separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes with a slide-out room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized DOMETIC reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does a slide-out topper actually do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt covers the flat roof of your slide-out room while it's extended.
