Slide-Out Room
Maximum Extension
Begin by extending the slide-out room. The full extension
of the slide-out room must not exceed 42 in. (106.7 cm).
Refer to the Slide Topper Application Guide (located
on dometic.com) to determine the appropriate Slide
Topper width for the slide-out room application and
to select the fabric, mounting brackets, and optional
spacers needed for the installation of the Slide Topper.
3.2 Identifying the Required
Clearances
NOTICE:
Employ as steep of a pitch as possible for the
awning fabric without exceeding the maximum distance
required between the awning rail and mounting bracket
(refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3). Exceeding the maximum
distance exposes the awning fabric to wind, causing the
fabric to billow or tear.
Use this section to confirm your Slide Topper clearance
measurements.
