Easy RV Slide Topper Replacement for RVs

Get more of our stuff at http://themotorhomeexperiment.com/.

In this episode, we do an easy slide topper replacement on our RV.

Our main slide has needed a slide topper replacement for quite a while now and since we were already taking the slide out for other repairs we figured it was the perfect time to order a new rv slide topper.

It required very few tools and was fairly easy to do. We feel most people could do this RV repair themselves or with a little help from a friend, as we did here.

We hope this helps you get your RV slide topper replaced!

Enjoy! Paul & Lorena
