This 66-inch black unit rolls out and back automatically with the slide, so there's nothing to crank. It ships complete with the mounting rail and hardware, wrapped in a black vinyl weathershield with matching end caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever pulled your slide in after a rainy weekend and found a puddle of leaves and standing water sitting on top of the room, you already know why a slide topper earns its keep. Dometic's Slide-Out Awning is a spring-loaded cover that mounts on the sidewall above your slide-out and unrolls across the roof of the room as it extends. Pull the slide back in, and the topper rolls itself up out of the way. No cranking, no straps, nothing extra to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the 66-inch version in black, with a black vinyl weathershield and matching black end caps. It ships as a complete unit with the mounting rail and the hardware you need to get it on the coach. The vinyl fabric sheds water and keeps leaves, pine needles, dirt, and tree sap from collecting on the slide roof. That matters more than most folks think. All that debris is what chews up your slide seals over time and eventually finds its way inside when the room retracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole point of a slide topper is that it works on its own. As the slide-out motor pushes the room out, the fabric feeds off a spring-loaded roller and covers the roof. When the room comes back in, the spring takes up the slack and rolls the fabric back onto the tube. Built-in roller tension keeps the fabric from billowing and flapping in the wind while you're parked. You're not adding a step to setting up camp. It just happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth being clear about: a slide topper protects the top of the slide room. It's not a patio awning, and it won't give you shade to sit under by the door. That's a different piece of gear. What this does, and does well, is keep the slide roof clean and dry so the room seals stay in good shape and the mechanism isn't fighting a load of wet debris every time it moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack is the practical color choice here if you want the topper to blend with a darker roofline or trim. Keep in mind that any dark vinyl runs a little warmer in direct sun and will show its age over enough seasons out in the weather, so give it a rinse now and then and check the fabric each spring. That's true of any topper, and a little care goes a long way toward getting full life out of the vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing is straightforward. The 66-inch measurement matches the width of the slide opening this topper is built to cover, so measure your slide before you order. If you've got more than one slide, each one wants its own correctly sized topper. Installation puts the rail on the sidewall above the slide, sets the roller assembly, and ties the fabric arm to the slide room so it tracks with the movement. Two people and an afternoon will get most jobs done, but if you're not comfortable up on a ladder working on the coach, have your dealer or a mobile RV tech handle it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fifth-wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes that live outside between trips, a slide topper is cheap insurance against water intrusion and seal wear. Anyone who camps under trees, parks in the sun for weeks at a stretch, or sees regular rain will notice the difference fast. The slide room comes back in dry, the seals last longer, and you spend less time up on a ladder clearing off the roof. Dometic has been building slide and awning gear for the RV market a long time, and this is the straightforward, no-drama version: black vinyl, automatic operation, and everything in the box to mount it. Measure twice, order the right length, and you're set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e66-inch length sized to cover the width of a matching slide-out opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic operation, the fabric extends and retracts right along with the slide room\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded roller with built-in tension to stop the fabric billowing in the wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl weathershield sheds rain and blocks leaves, needles, and sap off the slide roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatching black end caps for a clean, finished look on darker rooflines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips complete with the mounting rail and hardware needed to install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeeps debris off the slide seals so the room retracts clean and dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for fifth-wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes with side slide-outs\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\u003eDoes the topper open and close by itself?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
