Keep your slide-out awning operating the way it was designed to. The Dometic 69-3297 spacer kit provides the precise crank assembly clearance your SlideTopper awning needs to extend and retract smoothly -- no binding, no rubbing, no premature wear on the mechanism.
SlideTopper awnings are mounted directly above slide-out rooms and travel with the slide as it opens and closes. Over time -- or after an awning replacement or reinstallation -- the crank assembly can lose proper spacing, causing the fabric to drag, the mechanism to bind, or the slide to work harder than it should.
The Dometic 69-3297 spacer kit is the OEM-specified solution. It restores the correct dimensional gap at the crank assembly so the awning moves through its full travel without interference. If your SlideTopper has been stiff to operate, makes grinding sounds during travel, or shows signs of uneven fabric tension, improper crank spacing is a common root cause.
Engineered specifically for Dometic SlideTopper awning systems. Matches factory tolerances for a precise fit without modification.
Corrects crank assembly clearance so the awning extends and retracts freely without binding, dragging, or mechanical stress.
A direct replacement for a worn, missing, or incorrectly installed spacer. No special tools required for most installations.
Backed by Dometic's limited 90-day manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
This part is typically needed in these situations:
The Dometic SlideTopper is a roller-style awning mounted at the top of an RV slide-out room. Unlike traditional patio awnings, the SlideTopper moves with the slide -- extending when the room goes out and retracting when it comes in. This constant movement makes proper mechanical clearance critical. Components like the crank assembly spacer see repetitive stress every time the slide cycles, making them a routine maintenance part.
