Black vinyl fabric with a matching weathershield and end cap sheds rain and debris, and the Deluxe kit ships with the rail and hardware you need to mount it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dometic Slide Topper Deluxe is the awning that rides above your RV's slide-out room and takes the abuse so your roof seals don't have to. It mounts on the sidewall over the slide, and a spring-loaded roller keeps the vinyl taut as the room moves. When you push the slide out, the fabric unrolls to cover the gap between the wall and the top of the room. When you bring the slide back in, the roller winds the fabric up and out of the way on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's why that matters. Without a topper, every leaf, pine needle, acorn, and puddle that lands on top of an open slide-out gets dragged straight into your living space the moment you retract the room. Over a season that debris grinds against the slide seals and works its way into the mechanism. This 72-inch topper closes that gap. Rain runs off the angled vinyl instead of pooling, and the roof of the slide stays clear so you're not sweeping wet leaves off the dinette every time you break camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is black vinyl with a black vinyl weathershield and a black end cap, so the whole assembly reads as one clean, dark line along the coach. The weathershield is the outer wrap that shields the rolled-up fabric when the topper is retracted and you're driving down the road. Vinyl sheds water and stands up to UV better than a woven fabric would in this spot, which is the right call for a part that spends its life folded against the wall in full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack is the workhorse color for this part. It hides road film and tree sap between washes, and it pairs with just about any coach graphics package instead of fighting them. Because the fabric, the weathershield, and the end cap are all matched black, there's no mismatched hardware breaking up the line of the rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Deluxe version, and it ships with the rail and the mounting hardware, so you're getting the roller assembly, the fabric, and the parts that fasten it to the coach rather than fabric alone. The 72-inch length refers to the awning itself. Slide toppers are sized to the width of the slide-out room, so measure your slide before you order. A topper that's too short leaves the corners exposed, and one that's too long fouls on the next slide or a nearby fixture. If you already run a topper and it's faded, torn, or sagging, this is a straight replacement for a worn 72-inch unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? RV owners with a slide-out that either never had a topper or has one that's reached the end of its life. It's an especially good idea if you camp under trees, store the rig outside, or travel through wet country where a bare slide roof turns into a debris tray. It is not a patio awning and it's not a window awning, and it isn't meant for a boat. It's purpose-built to travel with the slide-out and protect that one vulnerable spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a job most handy owners can tackle with a helper, though many shops will fit one in an afternoon. The tension on the roller does most of the work once it's mounted and set, so there are no manual locks to fuss with and nothing to remember at the campsite. You extend, you retract, and the topper handles itself. Give the vinyl an occasional rinse to clear grit and check the tension at the start of each season, and a topper like this will quietly do its job for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e72-inch awning length sized to a matching slide-out room, so the roller spans the opening without leaving corners exposed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic spring-loaded roller extends and retracts the fabric with the slide, with no manual locks or straps to set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl fabric sheds rain and stands up to sun, keeping water and debris off the slide-out roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl weathershield wraps and protects the rolled fabric while the slide is in and the rig is traveling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack end cap matches the fabric and weathershield for one clean, dark line along the coach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeluxe kit includes the rail and mounting hardware, not fabric alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCovers the gap between the sidewall and the top of the slide so leaves, needles, and puddles don't ride inside on retraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks as a straight replacement for a faded, torn, or sagging 72-inch slide topper\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 awning do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt covers the roof of your RV's slide-out room while the room is extended.
