Identify Dometic A&E Deluxe SlideTopper wall brackets, extensions and size-specific replacement roller assemblies with an assembly overview and photographs of matching replacement parts. This reference centers on the 98001 Deluxe slide-topper family, with separate guidance for older 850/860-series units and the Elite metal-wrap models.
Deluxe SlideTopper component overview
The A–E letters group parts for identification and are not Dometic factory callout numbers. Select either the tall or short bracket arrangement specified for your installation—not both.
Photos of Dometic hardware and bracket variants
Six exact manufacturer-number products are shown with matching NewRVParts catalog photos. Select a photo to shop that part in the store. The ¾-inch spacer is optional and should only be used where Dometic's mounting drawing requires it.

How to read the model and part numbers
| Code | Meaning | Ordering implication |
|---|---|---|
| 98000 | Deluxe series FRTA without awning rail | Check whether separate rail is already installed and compatible. |
| 98001 | Deluxe series FRTA with awning rail | These matched 98001FJ examples use a different full MPN per size. |
| 98400 / 98401 | Elite metal-wrap families, without/with rail | Metal wrap and roller components differ from Deluxe. |
| 9800015 | 15-inch hardware extension | Cannot substitute for 18-inch by appearance. |
| 9800018 | 18-inch hardware extension | Select tall .401 or short .402 bracket separately. |
| .401 / .402 | Tall / short mounting bracket geometry | Dometic diagrams determine clearance; do not choose from product photography alone. |
| B / U | Polar White / black finish in these examples | Confirm actual factory hardware colour code on the item label. |
