On removing the slide toppers, DONT DO IT! I was having slide out repairs done on my Hurricane 34J when CW broke the bracket on the topper. I had to leave for a trip while parts were on order. We drove through rain for a period of time and the first time I put on the brakes I had a waterfall land on my head while moving due to a huge puddle that formed on the top of the retracted slide. Upon investigating I realized the top of the slide seal is not perfect and water coming off the roof went right behind the slide and ran onto the top.
With the topper this was never an issue. Keep in mind the roof has no gutter system like you see on trailers.
