Removing debris from slide out

Click here.

Without a ladder to see the top, the only problem is seeing what's actually up there an if you missed anything while brushing.

Edit:
Just did some more searching, and evidently, this product can't be found any more (notice the bottom of the article). Too bad. Maybe you could fabricate something like this out of PVC pipe?

If you are concerned, I would suggest you either get a slideout awning or a collapsible ladder. I have a ladder and find it very useful. Clicky

You could do what I do for snow removal on the stick and bricks, push broom head on a telescoping handle.

My wife can climb the ladder on back of trailer and see the top of our slide out, if there is something on it, then it is up to me to take care of it. We bought a ladder to take with us, but seldom do in the summer months.

Collapsible ladder and a leaf blower. Follow up with a big towel if wet.

I am also new to having a slide. I don’t yet have a slide topper. What I’ve been doing is to climb the ladder on the back of the camper, then clear off the top of the slide using a broom.

Our last camper didn’t have a slide or ladder. To get on the roof, I used a Little Giant ladder. Still bring it along because there are times when a ladder comes in handy. For example, you might find it handy if there is a problem with your awning.

With our previous 5th wheel, I carried a five foot ladder to stand on and hose off the slide. Our current TT has a ladder so I climb up onto the roof to hose it off. It gives me good opportunity to inspect the roof as well. I could stand on the ground and hose it off but leaves often don’t like to give up their spot wet or dry.

I have a Worx rechargeable leaf blower that I bought at Home Depot. We use it to keep all that nature stuff off our patio rug and they have a gutter cleaning attachment that we use for the slide top. Works great, lightweight and breaks down very small.

I have stood on the tailgate but usually carry a ladder, the simplest method is the easiest. An awning or topper as it is called would be a good choice also.

The only time I have had to clean my slide roof was after a snow fall or a heavy leaf fall. A push broom works well.
