Yes, the video is helpful. The only question then is what length would be needed for a 179.

Yes, I installed my Solara slide topper by myself. Doable if you are handy but would be much easier with a helper.

etrailer.com has an excellent video of installing a slide topper on a 180. They recommend two people. I had my SO help with mine when installed and it was good show was there. The wind up function on it is stout.

This has been asked I know but has anyone installed the solera slide topper themselves and if so how hard is it and is it worth the money and effort? I live and park it where there are a lot of trees.SmileSmile
