Personally, I wouldn't get the wrap. It will help with sun exposure when slide closed, but (as stated) they do press down on the fabric, and also can wear into the stitching along the sides of the fabric.
I have installed 4 in the last 5 or so years. Not a hard job, fairly simple. On the 14 footer you WILL need a helper or 2 to slide into the wall rail!!! I have installed the Carefree SOKIII mostly. Good brackets, easy to adjust roller tension if necc. Both of mine on the 280RKS are white without the wrap. Less likely to sun damage as fast as a black fabric.
