    I have an Imagine 2970RL which has a similar configuration as your 311. I am providing a couple of pictures of my living room slide topper. I also have a topper on my kitchen slide and the brackets the dealer used on both are different. Picture 1 shows the single bracket used on the living room slide topper. Picture 2 shows the intersection of the awnings and slide topper on the door side with everything closed. Picture 3 shows the different bracket arrangement use don the kitchen slide on the street side.

    Also be aware that water does pool on top of my living room topper. I don't find it to be a big deal and I have learned how to work with it. Maybe with your 5th wheel you'll have a little more height and can mount the topper higher on the side of the trailer.

    Looking to add a topper to our 298BH in the spring. Will likely go Solera. Any tips?
