The 180-inch black vinyl fabric and matching weathershield keep leaves, rain, and UV off the slide, so nothing gets dragged inside when you pull the slide back in. Mounting rail and hardware are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever pulled your slide-out back in after a weekend at the campground and found a pile of leaves, pine needles, and a puddle of rainwater riding on top of it, you already know why a slide-out awning earns its keep. The Dometic Slide-Out Awning is a 180-inch black vinyl slide topper that mounts above your slide-out room and covers the roof section sitting exposed whenever the slide is extended. It keeps debris, standing water, and sun off the slide roof so that mess doesn't get dragged into your RV every time you retract the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes a slide topper worth having is that you never have to think about it. This one extends and retracts automatically along with the slide-out itself. When you push the button to open your slide, the awning unrolls to cover the roof. When you bring the slide back in, spring tension rolls the fabric back onto the roller and out of the way. There's no separate switch, no crank, and no climbing on the roof. It just works in the background every time the room moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is black vinyl, which sheds water and stands up to sun far better than an untreated cloth would. Dometic pairs it with a black vinyl weathershield, the wrap that covers the rolled-up awning when the slide is closed so the fabric isn't sitting out in the weather around the clock. The end caps are black to match, and the whole assembly is built to look clean and low-profile against the side of the coach rather than tacked-on. At 180 inches of length, this size is meant for a wider slide-out room, so measure your opening before you order to confirm the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the deluxe configuration, which means it ships with the mounting rail and hardware you need to get it on the wall. The awning attaches with a rail along the coach and a roller assembly that carries the fabric, so most of the install is getting the rail straight and level and setting the spring tension. If you're comfortable with basic RV exterior work you can tackle it in an afternoon, and plenty of owners have a mobile tech or dealer handle it if they'd rather not be up on a ladder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho needs one? Anyone with an uncovered slide-out that parks under trees, out in the sun, or anywhere weather collects. Fifth wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes all benefit, especially the big living-room slides that catch the most junk. Without a topper, every retraction rakes whatever landed up there into the seal and, eventually, inside the coach. With one, the roof stays clear and the slide seals last longer because they aren't grinding over grit and debris on the way in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is about as easy as it gets. Hose the vinyl off a couple of times a season, let it dry before you close up if you can, and check the end caps and hardware once in a while for anything that's worked loose. The black vinyl hides road grime well and won't show the streaking that a lighter fabric does. Treat it right and a slide topper like this quietly does its job for years without asking for much back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been putting off adding slide protection, this is the straightforward way to do it. It's the genuine Dometic part, it comes with the rail and hardware, and it installs and operates the same way a factory topper on your coach would. Cover the slide, keep the mess outside, and stop dreading what's waiting on the roof every time you pull the room back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e180-inch fabric length covers wide slide-out rooms so the full exposed roof section stays protected\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic operation extends and retracts with the slide-out, so there's nothing extra to switch, crank, or climb up to\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl fabric sheds water and resists sun for long outdoor life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl weathershield wraps the rolled fabric when the slide is closed to keep weather off it\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack end caps give a clean, color-matched finish along the side of the coach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-tensioned roller keeps the fabric taut so water and debris run off instead of pooling on the roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes mounting rail and hardware for a complete deluxe install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Dometic part built to the same standard as factory-installed slide toppers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtects slide seals from grit and debris on every retraction, helping them last longer\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 this slide-out awning do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt mounts above your RV slide-out and covers the exposed roof section whenever the slide is extended, keeping leaves, rainwater, and debris off it so that mess doesn't ride inside when you pull the room back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes it open and close on its own?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
