Recommended Posts

Been driving & camping in the windy and very windy Great Plains.  On trip fro Topeka to Hutch noticed my bedroom slide topper had partially unrolled and was flapping in the breeze. Stopped and doesn’t feel like spring broken. Opened slide and slowly closed slide and topper rewound. However, same occurrence half hour later (btw extremely windy driving day). Repeated procedure and bungeed to destination. Topper is extremely loose and flapping and looks like doorside topper also loose and sagging. Anyone coming to Hutch that might be able to help?

Do you know if the topper fabric is still intact? If it is, there should be a YouTube video (or three) that shows HOW to re-tention the fabric. If the topper is torn (easy to happen), you should probably get new topper fabric first. 

A quick YouTube search turned this up:   https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rv+topper+replacement

Fabric is intact. Have an idea on how to tighten the spring but have never done it. I searched YouTube and couldn’t find video on tightening spring.
