You know there are only two kinds of dirt. The light kind that shows up on black objects and the dark kind that shows up on white objects.

Good SH, I am not a fan of the white one. Functions fine, but collects everything.

I should have mentioned that I purchased the black one. The white one would have stuck out like a sore thumb. The black one blends in very nicely.

Is it white or black, I like mine but regret the white selection.

Mine is now complete. There are a couple of minor issues (scratches on the roll ends and two missing self-drilling screws) that I am dealing with. One other thing is that the fabric is not centered on the roll, but is off center by about an inch. It isn't a big difference, but it is something I noticed once I had it installed. I have the fabric centered on the track and slide-out, but the roll is offset just a bit. I'm not sure if it was made that way or shifted in shipment. The assembly functions great and the fabric is tight when it is extended and retracted. I also used the rail that was there instead of mounting the one provided. I'm not sure what I will do with that section of rail. I think I will make small awnings to mount above the windows by the bed so that I can open the windows for ventilation when it rains.

I got a Lippert awing for the slide out and mounting the brackets on the slide out I did just as you have with screws and silicone to secure the brackets and have not had any problems thus far and I installed it over a year ago and used the drainage rail instead of installing the one supplied with the awning and it works slick

I got the backing plates installed. They are different now than before. There is a separate backing plate that attaches to the slide-out wall and the mounting plates slide onto that and get locked in place. There are 5 screws for each backing plate. The top three went into what felt like solid wood. The two lower ones didn't. I'm hoping that the three top ones with the Lexel will make up for the lack of solid backing for the lower two. Since it got dark on me, I will let the backing plates cure in place before I put the mounting plates on and install the fabric roll.
