Center cradle support built to hold the roller tube on a Lippert slide topper awning steady and aligned, especially on longer awnings that tend to sag or bang around in the wind. A durable black casting replacement for a worn or undersized original cradle.
The Lippert 2021112871 is a center cradle support for slide topper awnings, the smaller awnings that sit over an RV's slide-out room to keep water and debris off. It supports the roller tube through the middle of the awning, helping it roll smoothly and stay aligned rather than sagging or banging around in the wind.
This cradle is especially recommended for larger slide topper awnings, 16 feet and up, where the extra midpoint support makes a noticeable difference. It's a direct upgrade over older cradle designs that only supported the bottom of the topper, since this one wraps around and supports more of the roller tube.
Keeps the roller tube aligned across long awning spans
Wraps around more of the tube than older cradle styles
Durable, weather-resistant construction
Mounting holes match the original cradle for a direct swap

Confirm your RV has a slide topper awning (the smaller awning over a slide-out room), not a full patio awning — this cradle is sized for slide topper roller tubes specifically.
