Slide out sizes needed for slide toppers, for a 356QB

I am awaiting delivery of my 2018 Heritage Glen 356QB. Does anyone know the length of the 4 slides so I can price out slide toppers? The dealer doesn't have any on the lot right now to measure. I emailed them for the sizes but they probably won't respond very fast since I chose not to buy them through them. Thank you!

Contact whomever you did decide to buy through.

I did, just not expecting a fast reply from them since I didn't agree to having them install during the purchase. Was hoping someone in here would know instead. Google was no help.

OK sorry... I thought you meant you didn't buy the 356QB from them.

Just go on line and shop. Several brands, most sold by the foot. Not hard to install if you're handy with hand tools. Look on line for your floor plan to get close to sizes. You can save about 50%

I was hoping someone would have one and let me know the sizes so I didn't have to guess. Someone on Facebook got the sale prices from camping world, then went to etrailer.com and they matched the price and then beat it by 10%. I'm hoping to do the same.

My 356 is a 2015. I suppose the slides haven't changed sizes since then. Can you just use those numbers?

How much have you been quoted?

The dealer wanted $500 each installed. I would guess the slides are the same size still. I would be happy to know your slide measurements! Thank you!

If you ordered a new camper I would think it would be much cheaper as a factory installed option.

Theses measurements are to the outsides of the trim. Trim is approx 2 7/8th out from slide on each slide Bunk slides are 83 1/2"
Main slide 153 1/2"
Bedroom slide 78 1/2"

Bunks and main slide are out approx 36" from wall and bedroom slide is out 21 1/2"
Wall of coach to outside trim of slide.
Hope this helps

I would love to install a set on my 5'r, but where the RV is setup here in SE Arizona, we won't see much rain, but do have lots of sunshine and strong breezes/winds. Keeping the direct sun off the slideouts will help with cooling the unit, but the flapping of the toppers would be very annoying.

They actually don't offer direct from the factory due to to many color and size options per the Heritage Glen rep. Dealer install option only.

Measure the outside width of the slide and call Carefree, Dometic or Solera.

I would but I don't take delivery until 4/24. Was trying to order things ahead of time.

This being my first trailer with slides I have never heard these. Are these recommended?

A lot of people have them but they aren't required. Helps to keep the top of your slides clean so you don't have to sweep them off before bringing them back in.

X2, they also keep your slide cooler when parked when the sun shines on it.
