RV Slideout Toppers: Preventing Water Leaks

Slide Out Awnings, sometimes called Toppers, are an important component in protecting the structural integrity of your RV slide out—especially with their ability to prevent environmental damage to the seals that surround your slide out. When extended, toppers protect the roof of a slide out from rain, dirt, debris (leaves and small branches) or snow.

The purpose of the topper is to protect the seals on your slide from damage (tears or holes) that can occur when debris is pulled into the seal as the slide out moves inward and closes. As the unit rolls shut, the topper will automatically clear any water or debris it caught – pushing it over the edge of the slide. The topper prevents the alternative job of an inconvenient, hazardous climb up a ladder to sweep debris off your slide out prior to closing it. Additionally, the topper protects the seals of the slide out from deterioration due to the sun’s UV rays.

Periodically inspect your topper for wear. As a topper ages, it may begin to sag and collect water. In this case, excessive water may fall onto the top of your slide during heavy rain or from either side of the topper as the slide out retracts. This could compromise the seal of the slide and create a water leak in the interior of your RV.
