Slide Out Topper Replacement

The material on one of My 7 year old Colorado Carefree slide out toppers has finally failed and I need to replace it. Given the tremendous wind and sun damage I'm surprised the fabric has lasted this long.

As best as I can tell the original fabric was the typical white Vinyl material. Replacement options available from Carefree are Vinyl fabric or Acrylic fabric. The Acrylic fabric will cost about $100 more for two toppers.

I have not been able to find any real description of the benefits of the more expensive Acrylic fabric. Which one is better and why????

Call our friends at RVUpgrades.com. Bill is Carefree dealer and he will explain the differences to you. Tell him that DriVer told you to call.
