I had the covers replaced on my 02 Adventure last yr. I had my independent
dealer order them from DEERPARK, or something like that. As I remember
a turn key for both were like $350. The edges of the material was rolled
over an stitched, which I though was a good ideal....NOT....
As it turned out the large living room slide awning will hold about
5 gal. of water when it rains, as with the edge being stitched its
make a good bucket!!!!!
I think your best bet would be to go to a canvas shop with the old
topper as a pattern....Wish I had have gone that route....Coop

I just called A&E ( Dometic) re my slide toppers which started to seriously delaminate last summer.
I ended up putting aluminized tape on top and it has held OK so far.
The rep at A&E suggested I take the MH into my dealer and for them to make a request for warranty adjustment. She made no promises, but did say that in the past there were replacements allowed for on 2003 units.
I have to wait for spring to get the MH out of storage.
Good luck to others and update us please.

I haven't looked yet to see what's required to replace them, so don't know what's involved! Has anyone changed theirs? How hard is it? Thanks.

I just replaced my bedroom slide topper from a small Colorado dealer that was less than 1/2 of what I was quoted locally. Great service and shipping time. Give Dennis at D&T Sales a call he is great to deal with and great prices. 1-800-377-8476

Piece of cake, you just need an extra set of hands to help and a couple of ladders.... I've done two different sets on two different motorhomes and they were easy... PM me if you want details, I might even have pics.

The best material I've found is called Sunbrella. This is the material that Zip-Dee has used for umpteen years. The only people that I could find that would custom make replacements for my A&E toppers is Carefree, from Arizona.
