Lippert Solera 1000 vs 5000 Slide Topper Parts Diagrams & Replacement Guide

Identify Lippert Solera slide-topper replacement parts by their original series, factory illustration letter and exact manufacturer number. Compare the 1000 Series slide topper with access plates and the newer 5000 Series slide topper using their separate factory drawings and part-number tables. Both extend and retract as the RV slide room moves, but their drive heads, idlers, extension rods and brackets are not automatically interchangeable.

Check the original series before buying. The black Solera 1000 factory drive head is 285149 and its black idler is 285148. The Solera 5000 uses black head references 2021013960 and 2021013962. The 1000 black extension rod is 3452072; the 5000 black extension bar is 2021012887. Do not order the older head or extension simply because it resembles the newer assembly.

Solera 1000 and 5000 manufacturer parts drawings

Compare these series using the separate manufacturer illustrations below. The 1000 uses its original access-plate and extension-rod arrangement; the 5000 uses different head and extension-bar hardware. Each numbered factory diagram appears alongside its own series-specific parts table farther down the page.

The manufacturer lists one of the idler heads as springless on units 62 inches and smaller. Factory-prepped slide rooms may already have the required access plate; do not duplicate hardware.

Product MPN Complete awning width Fabric width Ordering reminder

V000168109 162 in (13 ft 6 in) 157 in Longer 5000 assembly; match exact room and hardware
Important measurement distinction: For example, Lippert markets V000168104 as a 5-foot-6-inch overall awning with 5-foot-1-inch fabric. Its NewRVParts title refers to the 61-inch fabric span. This is not a contradiction when the dimensions are labelled correctly. Measure flange-to-flange and use Lippert's selection and mounting requirements before ordering. These automatic-deploying toppers move with the slide room; they are not electrically powered awnings.
