My awnings (I have three) flap occasionally. They are 13 years old and still okay. The larger, main room awning flaps the most. Flapping is sometimes associated with rainstorms but the rainwater ponding on the awning does help to minimize the flapping. To me, flapping is not really a concern. When we leave we slowly retract the slides to allow any rainwater to slowly drain off the cover.

I've read that some people will slide pool noodles between the awning and slide to help support the awning fabric and shed water.

If torrential rain is forecast you can always pull in your slide.

Three slide toppers on a 371

WHCarr, what kind of topper did you put on the couch slide? We just put two on the othe two slides on our 371. Our dealership said they couldn’t put ne on the couch slide due to the awnings.

Be aware that adding covers may impact your warranty.

Mo
Most warranties are for only 1 year & the dealer & manufacturer will be able to find an excuse not to cover almost anything depending on the day of the week. So if you want slide toppers I wouldn't let a possible warranty issue slow you installing by one minute.

How so?

A good install job would take burden off the warranty. Generally, the manufacturer has to prove the install caused the warranty claim.
