In this day of high prices it was good to find a company that not only had good pricing but fast shipping as well, and I thought I'd pass this along in hopes that it helps someone in need of toppers. I searched and found the Shade Shack located in Tx. www.rvshadeshack.com I ordered two toppers for my slides and four wheel covers, just over $160. for all, and shortly over a week they arrived, top notch company in every way. JJ is in service and will be the person you talk with. Very helpful person. Hope this helps someone.

What size toppers are they? That seems like a good price for what you got depending on size. And it's always nice to get great service the first time you make a purchase from a company. I'll even pay more for good service.

Are you doing the install? Just curious because I may have to help a buddy install one on his MH and would be curious as to how your installation goes.

The slide prices were 62" and under $75.00, over 62" $100.00. Mine were 6'6"bed slide, 12'6" living room slide. So it was $200.00 plus shipping. My wife and I did the install in less than an hour. Help keeping the bead straight when pulling it down the track and roller is a must. I pulled, she held the topper and kept it straight as I pulled. I put the slide out, locked the roller with a screw driver on the mounting arm, removed the screws on each end that held the topper in the track on the camper. Checked it with the new one after removed making sure they were the same size. Slide both camper side and roller side on at the same time until they match the old marks where the old topper was, at that point your done. Good luck.

Sorry, your done when you remove the screw driver on the roller after the install, giving the roller the tension back. Good luck.

Pricing looks better than good. after looking at their web site thay also make Awning shades, ends and front garages for 5ers. They have wiper covers for motor homes also. Take a look and pricing looks very reasonable.

Bruce,
Are the prices for replacement fabric or complete, new slide toppers with all the ancillary equipment?

ON EDIT> Never mind, I re-read the original post and saw the old fabric mentioned.
