I have had them on rvs with slides due to camping under or near trees. It's either leaves or worse pine needles. Without the cover I would be up there on the roof or ladder sweeping them off every time before closing.
I am told they deflect some heat away from the slide roof in hot temps. I think that is feasible to believe. But, I don't camp in really hot temps to test that out. Camped near and at the ocean in wind, in mountains during thunder storms. Mine have been 8 to 10 ft. slides and not a problem with flapping that was noisy. If I was always camping in high winds, I might not want them.
