Replacing Slide-Toppers -> Better material?

[WheelingIt]

So, we're about ready to replace our slide-toppers. The material is literally coming apart at the seams and some spots look ready to dissolve (we have one topper that's developed a saucer of a sag on one side). I find it very poor quality considering our coach is only 2008. These are Carefree toppers.

Anyone replaced with anything that's more durable/better? Any thoughts/ideas?

We're getting a bunch of work done in Oregon when we get there in a week and thought we'd add this on. We may do it ourselves too, but just need to know where to buy the material.

I'm planning on buying some Sunbrella fabric and making my own. Should be easy to do as long as you get it square.

Try this one, ours need replacing too and I'm going to get these. I got an estimate for our longest one and it was only $160 incl. shipping.

We got ours at the same place Gary did about two years ago and it's doing fine. Easy install but you'll need a helper, my wife helped me and it was done in about an hour. Here are some pictures of the project.

Thank you so much everyone! Exactly the info I was looking for!

I made mine out of Sunbrella 9.6 QZ. They have been on for 2 years now and doing great. Sunbrella is pretreated and it is outstanding for this type of use. I have a portable walking foot machine that I carry with me in the motorhome. I have used Sunbrella for boat covers that are more than 1o years old.
