I have a 2021 327VIK. I have slide toppers on both slide outs on the driver's side. We have the wind sensored awnings, and I can't figure out how to put a slide topper on the super slide of the passenger side of the RV. Have any of you added a slide topper on this slide?

We put a Lippert Solera slide topper on our VFK on the slide that has an awning set up for the campfire kitchen similar to your super slide. We had to engineer backing for stiffening the the facia trim on the outside of the slide as the mounting surface for the brackets without putting too much stress and bending the facia. What we used was 3/16 steel bars about a foot long by 2" wide behind the facia on the corners , one vertical and one horizontal. We had to check wall to slide clearance so that we didn't gouge the wall when we fastened the bars through the facia with small stainless bolt and nuts. We used same to attach the slide brackets, just making sure we didn't have gouging problems. I don't have the bolt length but you just need to get them long enough to fasten without gouging the wall with the slide in. I hope this helps you on this.
dlakeman , a member here at VFF has asked about this issue too, and will refer him to this post. I told him that I will get some close up pictures this week and will post them on his thread to give the ideas we used.
BTW we haven't had any issues and the topper works great and no interference with the slide's awning usage.
