It stretches the full 162 inches and rolls out and back automatically as the room moves, keeping leaves, water, and debris off the top of the slide. Complete kit with Polar White vinyl, weathershield, tall end caps, and mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've got a big slide-out room, you already know the problem. Leaves, pine needles, standing water, they all collect on top of the slide and ride right into your seals every time you pull the room in. The Dometic Slide Topper Deluxe is the fix. It's a spring-loaded fabric cover that mounts above the slide-out on your RV or fifth wheel and stretches across the full 162 inches, automatically rolling out as the room extends and rolling back up as it comes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's nothing to switch on. The topper is tied to the slide mechanism, so it does its thing every time you deploy or retract the room. Spring tension keeps the Polar White vinyl fabric pulled tight, and that tension is what matters most. A taut topper sheds rain and runoff off the side instead of letting it pool in the middle, and pooling is exactly what stretches a topper out and tears it after a couple of seasons. Dometic builds this one to stay drum-tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the slide is pulled in and you're rolling down the highway, the rolled-up fabric is exposed to road grime, UV, and bugs. That's where the Polar White vinyl weathershield comes in. It wraps the rolled fabric on the roller tube, so the material that keeps your slide clean isn't itself getting cooked and sandblasted between trips. It's a small thing that adds years to the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the 162-inch version, which covers slide-out rooms up to roughly the same width and handles a slide extension of up to about 42 inches. Measure your slide opening before you order. Slide toppers are sized to the flange-to-flange width of the room, and going too short leaves a gap the debris sneaks through. If your room is a different width, Dometic makes this same Deluxe topper in a full range of lengths, so match the number to your measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the complete kit, not just replacement fabric. You get the roller assembly with the Polar White solid vinyl, the weathershield, tall end caps, and the mounting rail and hardware. That makes it a straightforward install on a slide that's never had a topper, or a full replacement when an old one has finally given up. It's a two-person job, mostly because of the length and the spring tension on the roller. Take your time setting the pre-tension, get a buddy on the other end, and it goes on in an afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polar White fabric isn't just about looks. A light color reflects sunlight instead of soaking it up, so the slide-out room underneath stays cooler on a hot afternoon at the campsite. It also blends with most modern RV exteriors, which lean white or light gray up top. And it hides pollen and water spots better than a dark topper would between washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real payoff is what you don't see. Every time a slide comes in dirty, the seals and the top of the room take a beating from grit and standing water. Over time that's what leads to leaks and swollen slide floors, the expensive stuff. A topper keeps the top of the slide clear so the room comes in clean and dry, and your seals last the way they're supposed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you camp under trees, store the rig outside, or just hate climbing up to sweep off a slide roof, a topper pays for itself in saved seals and cleaner rooms. One honest note, this is built for RVs, travel trailers, and fifth wheels, not boats. The automatic extend-and-retract is tied to an RV slide-out, and the length and tall end caps are made for that application. For an RV with a wide slide, though, it's about as good as slide protection gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e162-inch length covers wide slide-out rooms, one of the larger single-piece toppers Dometic offers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic operation, the spring-loaded topper extends and retracts with the slide-out room, so there's nothing to switch on\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid Polar White vinyl fabric sheds water, pollen, leaves, and twigs before they pile up on the slide seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolar White vinyl weathershield wraps the rolled fabric when the slide is in, protecting it from UV and road grime during travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandles a slide extension up to about 42 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring tension keeps the fabric drum-tight so rain runs off the side instead of pooling and tearing the topper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReflective white surface bounces sunlight, helping keep the slide-out room cooler in summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete kit includes the roller assembly, weathershield, tall end caps, and mounting rail and hardware for a fresh install or a like-for-like replacement\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 size slide-out does the 162-inch topper fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis version fits slide-out rooms up to roughly 162 inches wide, measured flange to flange across the opening.
