In the ever ongoing saga of this 2019 Allegro Red Re-build, I am repairing the Dometic slide out topper awning damaged when I assume the driver drove head first into a service bay.
So I salavaged a torsion, used a extra set of arms and hardware, and replaced the fabric.
It went surprisingly well.

Nice job! Thanks for sharing. A buddy of mine has a very late model Lance travel trailer and today his center skylight is leaking rain water. I figured we would just get up there and dab some Dicor on the seal. However all his vents & skylights look to be factory installed and sealed with Eternabond tape. Only exception is his sewer, sink and TV antennas have the goop Dicor. I am sending him back to his sealer. Those tape seals have a leak somewhere beyond my help. I should be under warranty. Was just surprised to see how they sealed around his vents & skylights.

Bummer. I was hoping you would say how many turns to put on the spring. I had my 25 foot slide topper tore off in very high winds while in Oklahoma 3 months ago. I was able to secure the long tube to the motorhome and got it back to Arizona. I bought the replacement springs for both ends and new topper material. With help, I put it on the motorhome and gave each spring 5 turns, with the slide out 12" from the coach. While traveling through Utah, I soon found out that was not near enough. I took out the rivets, gave it another 5 turns, but in wind, that still doesn't seem like enough. Any ideas?????

Currently working on Class A 40' NewMar. Has a 15' Slide-out Dometic topper. Initial complaint was torn topper. Upon looking at it, the MIDDLE of the topper was rolling up onto the TOP of the slide-out itself. Im not an expert by any means but ive changed several of these and never seen this problem. Owner stated this was original topper. Is this too much tension??

Camping this weekend in pretty windy conditions my slide topper on my winnebago 31k was rolling back and forth almost like it was un raveling but it would always go back. Is this normal? As a precaution I closed my slide

it's normal in heavy winds but not light winds, you made the right choice. the anti-billow only works when the slide is retracted

it would be 3 hours of work to remove about an 1inch as we still need overlap on the tube over the slide and for the fabric to fitt on the tube,

With all of your experience, what is your top 3 manufacturers of replacement awning fabric? What features should we be aware of? Welded or sewn. Acrylic or Vinyl.
@AZExpert
@AZExpert 3 жыл бұрын
welded is best, there is no difference between the lippert, carefree, or dometic vinyl fabric. Acrylic last longer but is expensive to replace and source when it needs to be done.
