True Topper is THE COOLEST RV Slide Topper Device We've Ever Seen!

Would be interested in feedback from folks who have the True Topper AND who do a lot of winter camping. Wondering how well the True Topper deals with heavy snow and ice. Maybe now that you have an ORV (known for being capable of handling the colder weather), you can test your True Topper and report back?

On my 2017 Image 2400BH rain noise was greatly reduced with my traditional slide topper. We also camp under pine trees where sap is an issue. I can see sap getting caught and spreading on the wiper.

Hi guys, I’ve seen a few videos of the True Topper and really like it. Definitely the future of toppers. I “think” one of the rv manufacturers are now installing these as standard equipment. I’d like to get these on our 45’, 4 slide Holiday Rambler Navigator and painted to match but might be too pricey. As usual…another great informative video. Thank you for sharing!👍

Great video! I took notes for sure! There was some very soft lightly bouncy instrumental music playing throughout. Drove me nuts searching my place for it before finally realizing it was coming from my TV. Kinda weird and if I had even a slight hearing deficit I wouldn’t have heard it. Anyway, thanks again for a very informative video!

Love the videos but that's a big no to this one. the upper part may be ok to cut off smaller slides outs but its there for a reason. on longer slides this adds a lot of force on the remaining ends. as your RVs twists going down the road adds unwanted force to all parts. some slides are 2000 lbs in them and the center of the slide pushes on the side wall mounted to the roof member. nice ideal but you own it after words

I wonder how hard it is to replace those rubber seals that clean the top of the slide?

An interesting product, thanks for the demo....

But the top bracing of the slide also serves to provide structural integrity and a seal against the wall that's under pressure when the slide is in. Removing the upper horizontal support is a huge problem - it's not just a fiberglass trim piece.

Totally agree! Took my 1991 Hitchhiker 2 over on mothersday. Dennis and brother installed on my 12 1/2 foot slider and it works great. You WILL NOT FIND ANYBODY THAT TREATS THERE WORK AS PROFESSIONALY AS THEM. Very very critique of themselves, treat the job as if they owned it themselves. Very proud of product an workmanship.😊

This slide topper looks super effective. We are preparing for full-time rv living and will definitely look into this for our new rig!

We had our two slides done by True Topper last spring. We love them!

Now tell them to make a cover like this to protect the awning when it’s rolled in. Also would help keep it protected from UV.

I’d buy one of those in a minute!

A sweep not a topper 😮

One benefit of awnings is that they create shade for the top of the slide. I do most of my camping in the southern states. It’s a huge benefit.

I thought the topper keeps the sun and the elements off the top, I don't know how much it cost but is like a giant squeegee concept.

It must be pretty expensive since there's no hint at what the cost is. Interesting product.

We had True Toppers installed earlier this year in Oregon. So happy we did this! (We did a quick video too) 👍🏻👍🏻 looks great

I have them on both of my slides on my 2000 Monaco dynasty and I love them.

Miles and I are going to check out this product!

I don't think of this as a slide topper but a slide-sweep.

It would be so much better if the True Topper was big enough to cover the entire depth of the slide, that would serve to protect the the entire slide when the slide is open and when closed it would cover at least a portion of the window blocking sunlight from inside your rig, reducing heat and keeping out uv rays from fading your furniture.

It looks like a slide scraper.

Yep, I’m getting these installed on our new Alliance when we get it😎🇺🇸

It’s a cool deal, pricing is the same as most toppers, fabric is noisy in wind and can pool water stretching the material

That would not be hard to install at home.

I think this would be great! My only concern is what happens when your slide isn’t level or not in sync? Would it damage that topper?

I don't think I have ever seen a slide out that is flat like the one you show here. I am guessing that the slide has been modified? I would be concerned with a piece of a pinecone or sharp stick getting caught as the slide is moving in an ripping or tearing the roof.

Looks neat but how long before that slide starts leaking where they hacked it up?

You miss the benefit as it creates shade and drops the slide temperatures. No way would I buy this, this sure seems like a gimmick.

It’s a good concept, but I could see that system leaving scratches due to debris and dirt on top of the slide causing the seals to leak.

I don’t trust slider tops… looks like a leak waiting to happen.

Thank you for this video, the answer to my issues with traditional slide toppers. I have just made an appointment with the Oregon location, can't wait.

Wished i had came across this video a few weeks ago....

How do you lube the rubber seals with conditioner?

You used dry debris but about debris that has been in rain for a few days?

I hope they can install one on a 25+ foot slide out. I have had mine ripped off from the mounts from wind that came out of nowhere, at 3:30 in the morning. Not fun.

My question is 99% of the slides I see that’s a trim lip on the top of the slide that will not work with them

Does the True Topper flap……flap in the wind?

Since you have had the true topper for a while do you still think it is better?

Doesn’t look like a topper. Simply a squeegee.

What about going down the road on a windy day.

WAY COOL!

!

How about taking this one step further by making the topper as long as an extended slide out? This way you get the benefits identified in earlier comments.

Hello! Please tell me what is the outer width of the trailer? And does the trailer have an ABS braking system?

We’ve had two toppers for the 19 years we’ve been tripping about America on our Montana 2955RL. Where we don’t full time yet, we travel lots of the time, averaging over 7,000 miles per year. Once a quarter, the slides are opened, and the tops that comes into the rig are cleaned to remove any dust that may have accumulated. Our covers are starting to feel somewhat inflexible (I call it crispy), even though they are cleaned and sprayed with protectant, so they are scheduled for replacement before next summer. I think if I were to change to this new process, I’d want to “wax” the exposed area to limit anything staying on top when slides are closed. Just thinking🥸Rollo

If the slide is out with the topper, would it stop the water from flowing into the RV?

Post this again when it becomes DIY as it will one day. Until then the labor cost makes this not very economical. You can buy TWO fabric awnings for almost the price of one of these.

Looks Like a great product > But I dont believe that it can only be installed by Their dealers . There are a lot of more complicated thing out there sold as DIY ! Do they think everyone is totally inept at DIY ! Too Funny ! They will eventually sell it as DIY or they will have insufficient sales !

I agree about shade. I'm in Nv and when it's over 100 it makes a huge difference.
