Camping in the Rain

Our current Coachmen is the first trailer we've owned with a slide but since it's a shallow 18" sofa slide I chose to not install a topper. Instead I carried a 3-step ladder in the back of my Avalanche so I could reach the top of the slide and clear it of any water & accumulated debris. Recently I replaced the Av with a Silverado for towing and because the wheel wells on the latter protrude into the cargo box the ladder doesn't store as nicely as it did in the Avalanche. That drove me to DIY this slide topper broom, which in turn means I no longer need to take along the ladder ... the handle collapses so during travel it's small enough to store out of the way in the shower stall. :)



Alternately, one can buy a commercially available slide out sweep that should work equally as well.
