better quality slide out cover

[snapper]

Which slide top cover do you think is of better quality, the Dominic or the carefree of Colorado. I am getting a new trailer and need to make a decision. Thanks in advance ..

Of the two, I'd go with the Dometic. It is 12 ounces as opposed to Carefree's 11 ounces.

Thanks for you opinion. I think I will wait till spring. They are not cheap.

No they are not.
I'm still on the fence about buying one at all.
My slide is 9 feet wide, but only 18 inches deep. Hardly deep enough to roll a topper out.
I'm more concerned about protecting the seal from UV than anything else.

My old trailer had a 18 inch slide. I got it when I purchased the trailer new. The dealer put it on for free. That was a good deal. They do serve a purpose. They protect the seals from damage. And the seals are protect as well. I will buy the one that also covers the vinyl, because I caught mine on a road sign that was leaning out into the travel lane.
