The Cougar says it comes prepared for the toppers, but I really don’t know what that entails. I will be inquiring about that and a few other things at the dealer when we take delivery tomorrow.
Now, for another question. It appears that there are two main types of awning fabric: Vinyl and Acrylic. Does anyone know if one is significantly better than the other?
Finally, I noticed that some toppers actually live in a mostly enclosed tube and pull out from there where others simply roll the fabric up and leave it exposed. To me, the enclosed awnings seem like they would just get a lot of debris rolled into the enclosure so wouldn’t work as well as the ones that just roll up. At least when these are rolled up, the debris has a much better chance of falling off. And, of course, the fully enclosed awnings are quite a bit more money. Are there any more thoughts on these two options?

If you're handy with basic tools and hung a picture on the wall, you should be able to install these. Smaller ones could be done with one person altogether, but 8-12' toppers, you'll need a second person to install the actual topper tube. All the brackets are done with one person, primarily.
