Not to mention that it saves some of the seals from UV damage.
The most difficult part of the install was feeding the cloth into the keder rail. I needed an extra hand (my wife) to hold up the other end of the roll, since it's so long. |

Have the Carefree on 182G and would not have a camper without it.... No worries about water entering the slide or crap getting caught in the mechanisms.... Well worth the money and takes about an 1.5 hours to install.

I installed the regular Carefree Slide Cover on our 179. It's the 98-105" size. We got ours here because they had the best price I could find:

Steve,
I installed a Carefree slide topper that I got at my local dealer. Go to Carefree's website and they will show you how to measure for it and you can buy it direct from them. My dealer gave me a better price though and measured it for me. I installed it myself in a little over an hour and wasn't that hard. Here's the kit, looks worse than it is to install. I have more pictures in my slopodmods link on page 2.

Hi all,
I’m looking to purchase a slide topper for our 179. I would love responses please from those who have them. Im tired of carrying a ladder along just to climb up to sweep off leaves and twigs off slideout prior to bringing it in. Price is not an object if I can find a good quality brand that’s reliable. Any suggestions are appreciated... Steve
