    380TH No Slide Topper between awnings

    My dealer and GD has told me that because my '15 380TH has two awnings and they are right next to the Living room slide, that I can not have a slide topper on the LR slide... anyone make one work in this location ?

    We don't have toppers on ours but what was the reasoning? My '15 380TH (built mid '14) has a separate track above the LR slide, so not sure how'd the awnings would impact that UNLESS topper brackets on the slide would interfere with the awnings

    I think the awnings are so close the topper hardware would hit the awning head/arms.

    That is kind of what they are saying.... brackets won't have clearance due to the awning.... of course they tell me this after they ordered the awnings and I waited over a month for them to install.... they won't charge me for it but still aggravating.

    I worked with the people @ Care Free and ordered and installed a Slide Topper on the slide between the two awnings and there is clearance so it all works fine.
