Problem from wind , Awning noise...

I have a Montana 3500 RL 5th wheeel and the vinyl cover's that slide out over the slides, flap in the wind and make a whole lot of noise. They are are properly installed from the factory, but is there anything i can do help this problem? I need my sleep at night LOL...
Thanks, Kirbyman

Some members wedge various types of inflatable balls, placed by getting on ladder, between the slide roof and the slide topper. If it is not your bedroom slideout topper that is making the noise, then you might try partially retracting the offending slide.
Other reasons why the topper may be flapping are stretched fabric and improper tension of the spring-loaded mechanism. If your topper is an older one, the fabric may have become stretched over the years.

Welcome Kirbyman.

In addition to Festus2's suggestions, there's a bit more info about slide-out awnings (toppers/covers) in the following thread:

http://keystonerv.org/forums/showthread.php?t=776

There may be more... try the word "awning or topper" in the search.

Hope this helps!
