Hey Rob... you are always so helpful... so here goes another slide topper question....
We have a 2021 337RLS and I am considering getting slide toppers for it for at least 3 reasons... (1) help with snow/rain removal before bringing in the slides, (2) protection from tree/bird junk, and (3) help with keeping the cabin cooler in the summer heat...
We are part timers... just use the RV spring-fall.... so is it really worth it to get the toppers? What are some downsides in getting them? Any suggestions on what to get for the 337RLS (even though you did not use them on your 337)? Get them through the dealer but make sure that they are Grand Design 'approved'? No rush... and if I do it, it will most likely be this fall when our travels slow down and I can get it in for the work...
Many thanks!Cowboychincs

The three reasons you give are the main reasons for us, too. However, only you can make the decision on whether or not toppers are worth it for you. I would not recommend ordering the toppers through Grand Design - the OEM fabric is the lowest quality available. I would see if you can order everything through ShadePro or such and get the heavy-duty acrylic fabric. Only a few companies make the hardware but it's the fabric that makes all the difference in the world.
The main downside to slide toppers is noise in high winds. We've settled into a long-term site for a while and I have run paracord over the tops of ours and tied them down to help with the flapping in winds.
