Are they really beneficial or just something else to spend some money on? Are there any real downsides to having them? I’ve read that they can flap around in strong winds, but other than that I haven’t seen any real negatives.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!

I just installed one (Lippert Solera 5000 - 12'6"), and I'm glad I did it. I worry a lot less about water and leaves on my slideout. It was around $500 and took an hour to install.
