Slide Topper Replacement Experiences?

[ZigZag03]

Who's replaced their toppers lately? I don't think there are many options, but who has had a good/bad experience with a supplier?

I worked with Tough Top Awnings just about 2 years ago to the day to replace the slide topper on my rig. Traded some emails on measurements, responses were timely. Mostly to make sure all would be good on dimensions without surprises. Shipping was quick, material seemed on par (or slightly better) than OEM. Did a DIY replacement, has held up fine so far.

In 2017 I purchased replacement toppers from Stone Vos (link here), and replaced them myself, with help from a friend. In 2019 I had Stone Vos replace the patio and window awnings and slide seals while I was in their town (Brooksville, FL). Materials were top-notch and they were competent and friendly, especially Ingrid, the owner. If they are still that way I recommend them highly. Link to their Web site is here.

You list Fort Myers, FL as your location. If you later want a drop-down screen for your patio awning, you may want to give Beasley Manufacturing a call. They're located in Center Hill, FL. When I bought a sunshade from them in 2019 they had the best price and fastest delivery of anyone. A link to their Web site, which lists the phone number, is here.

Thank you both, enquiries in process! Looks like Tough Top is vinyl, not sure what Stone Vos uses, I'll be learning! And sorry for the misleading signature, not even sure how it was still showing the old rv... displays correctly now.

We replaced ours with

This was a no brainer for many reasons.

So this is pretty interesting, did you in fact retrofit this and get rid of the old AE/Dometic or was yours a clean install?

I had it installed at True Topper in Oregon, same location the RV Geeks had theirs done. They removed the slide topper that came with my RV, then did the install.

Replaced my three slide toppers with materials measured and cut by Tough Tops near Vancouver, WA. I sent them the measurements; they sent the finished products to me. I got a special deal on some discontinued material and colors and was very happy with the product. Much quieter than the OEM material that came with the RV, and no sags. I installed them myself; they had a great instructional video. The materials started to deteriorate at the 4 year point, I asked about the 5 year warranty and was told the special price I got was because they were a discontinued product, but if I paid the full price from before (not too much more) they would honor the warranty and did send me a new set. Again, very happy with the product, quiet, no sags, and me at 70 years old, was able to install them myself following their video. That was great customer support. The second set has lasted over 5 years now but starting to show signs of age. But I live full time in the RV, and they have been in sun, wind, and constant use over the time frame, so I feel I have got good value out of them. Will buy again probably in a year or so.

How was their pricing compared to tough topper? I have an email inquiry in but it's the weekend.
