Slide Topper for Apex Nano

I have a 2017 Apex Nano 191RBS and am contemplating having s Slide Topper installed on it. Is this possible and does anyone have any experience having had this done?

If you have a slide out that should be able to be done, The pic on their website shows on with a slide topper installed

YES! I have an Apex Nano 193BHS (Essentially the same trailer but with bunks in the back), and I installed a slide topper. The only modification I did from the original installation instructions was installing the rail that goes against the main body of the trailer upside down. This was so I could get more height just below the main gutter. I bought all of the parts from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Works perfectly, no complaints.

I can take some pictures of it if you'd like.

Yes, some pictures including that of the installed rail would be very helpful. Thanks for your help.

Sorry but I don't see any pictures on their website showing an Apex Nano with a Slide Topper.

Here are a couple of photos.... albeit not very good ones. You can see on the side view there is the rail that holds the topper fabric. This rail is normally supposed to be installed with the tab facing upwards. I installed mine upside down so I could get the greatest height underneath the gutter.

Also, I think SeaDog was seeing the regular awning, not a slide topper. Non of the promotional material I've seen showed a slide topper.
