Slide toppers

I have a question for those of you who might have slide toppers. On our main slide we only have 2.5 inches between the slide out flange and the arm of the awning when deploying the awning. Am I going to be able to get a slide topper to work on this slide out? I really want to add the slide toppers as I don't enjoy climbing on the roof to sweep the slides off. Thanks in advance.

I mounted a slide topper on my Grand Design Reflection 297RSTS and have maybe 3" of room between them. Just had to offset the topper.

You will be able to mount a slide topper on that slide, but it probably won't be perfectly centered and you will need to consider the overall length of the topper so that you don't run out of mounting adjustment at the end away from the awning arm. The fabric at the awning arm end will probably end up flush with the slide box or slightly inboard. If you are OK with those parameters, then, no problem.

That sounds really tight. I'd have to measure mine, but I'm pretty sure they stick out more than 2.5 inches. Maybe not a whole lot more, but I think some.
