Slide toppers manufacturers
We are considering slide toppers. We are aware of the good and not so of these topper. So far I have only found 3 brands - Dometic (3 levels), Solera (LCI) and Carefree. Are there other brands that haven't a high internet presence? Of the three I mentioned, any that are better then another or are they pretty much close as far as form, fit and function. I do feel that Carefree is a bit too proud of theirs cost wise with really no discernable difference that I could see, but ...
Thanks

We bought slide toppers last winter from these folks and were really pleased with the service and product choice. We purchased the toppers that are poured vinyl to avoid the delamination that occurs.

Thanks. These look like a couple good sources. Carefree costs are in line too - and I do like their products too

I replaced ours with ones from Stone Vos. Good people to deal with. Three slide toppers somewhere around $700 if I remember right.

These recommendations are for the fabric only for an existing slide topper. If you are asking about best replacement fabric, I would recommend Stone Vos.
However, I seem to think you are asking about the entire slide topper mechanism.

Yes, I do want the entire assemblies - 4 of them. The referenced suppliers, (thanks to the posters) which I have bookmarked all seem to sell both the replacement fabic along with the complete toppers. Every little bit of info helps as our RV selling dealer quoted almost $3K which would have made them equivalent to woven gold thread.

I'm not sure whether Stone Vos sells complete toppers or just the fabric. Their acrylic fabric, in my opinion, is the highest quality out there!

You are correct. Their website implies that they sell complete toppers - that is until you read on a bit more.

You can purchase just about anything on Amazon.com--including toppers for reasonable prices.

Two words: Zip Dee
Zip Dee makes the strongest toppers you will find
