What tools do I need to replace a Dometic Deluxe slide out topper?

You need two sturdy ladders, a power drill, spray silicone lubricant, a straight pick, and your new replacement awning fabric.

How is the Dometic Deluxe slide out topper different from older Dometic models?

The Dometic Deluxe is a newer model with a different look and construction than standard Dometic slide toppers. Some installation steps differ from the older model.

How do I keep spring tension on the roller tube when replacing slide out topper fabric?

After unrolling the old fabric off the tube, pin the roller tube in place with a straight pick. This holds the spring tension so you don't lose it during the fabric swap.

Where should the anti-bellowing device be positioned on a Dometic Deluxe slide topper?

Position the anti-bellowing device at the 11 o'clock position on the passenger side and the 1 o'clock position on the driver's side.

Why won't the old anti-bellowing device screw holes line up with my new awning fabric?

Replacement awning fabrics are custom-made for your specific RV, so the dimensions may differ slightly from the original. You'll need to drill new holes at the correct 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock positions.

What should I do while the slide out topper fabric is off?

With the fabric removed, inspect and clean the top of your slide out and spray the rubber seal at the top and sides of the slide room opening with rubber seal conditioner. This maintenance is hard to do at any other time.
