I think the OP is looking for a broom he can clean the top of the slide off with while standing on the ground. If this is the case, he'd need a telescoping broom in 2 parts. In the middle would be a hinge so the broom could be angled at a 90 degree angle. Each arm of the angle would have to have a telescoping feature so he can simply reach over the top of the slide and brush off the top. In other words, the wand would like like this:

The little "m" above is the actual brush, probably on a pivot also. This way he can stand on the ground and simply brush off the roof. They make gutter cleaners for houses similar to this, but the arm over the gutter is very short.
I wish I could find something like this too. I carry a step ladder with me all the time and use a telescoping painter's wand with one of those soft RV brushes to brush off my slides.
The only down-side to using something like this, is, from the ground you really cannot see what is actually on top of the slide-out. Standing on a ladder, I can see everything. I brush mine off completely before retracting slides.
Still, I think this is what the OP is looking for.
