True Topper on a Full Wall Slide

[Cwby65]

Has anyone had True Topper installed on a Tour? Need to replace complete topper on full wall slide wondering if there was any experience out there.

Here is a thread from three years ago:

True Topper Slide Topper Alternative

Does anyone have experience with True Topper retrofit on Winnebago Class A Motorhome?

I did look at that one yesterday. They were just discussing it, none of them stated that they actually had it installed.

My wife and I helped a friend replace his awning fabric twice, just pay attention to the directions! ( rule one}.

We also replaced the slide toppers on our Journey, but we only had to do that once because we learned rule one.
If you are cutting your own fabric be very very careful to make exactly 90 degree cuts...
I'm not familiar with the term "True Topper" but the cloth is pretty easy to replace on the original.

Check with Tough Tops in Vancouver, WA. They make custom slide toppers, and ship them to you. I have had excellent experience with them and their products.

I have the Tru topper installed in Oregon. We have experienced the high winds of Arizona and my slide topper took off and broke the spring mechanism in the roller. Ended up cutting the topper off. Also during a previous trip back east, heavy rain pooled on top and actually pulled the topper out of the track. I am done with the regular topper. Didnt have it on my trailer and was fine. Now it is peace and quiet and no more flapping noise. As for cooling effect the black topper that was previously on captured hot air. Love my TruTopper. Mine is on a full slide Vita and it works great.

Buying and having one installed requires cutting off the top lip of the slide room flush with the roof material.. This is permanent and cannot be undone. True Topper USA | Home
To calculate the initial cost of one, use this: True Topper Estimate

Thanks for your info. I have received my quote from True Topper although on the high end I believe we will be planning a trip to Oregon since they are the only shop that has installed on the Winnie.
