Installing Slide Toppers - DIY??
I'm a fairly handy guy and was wondering if installing Slide Toppers is a DIY kind of project or something I should leave to the experts. My thought was to spend extra money on the best brand/model I can afford and then install it myself. Feel free to tell me I'm crazy.

Ok, you're crazy.

All seriousness aside, DIY installation of a slide topper is possible. It is a two person job, though. Google slide topper installation video.

Ha!

Good idea. I will watch a few and see if it's something I want to try. Dometic seems to be liked more than Carefree?
