Space is everything in a B

[garmp]

Just wanted to share this tip:
We carry a broom in our B (a SportsMobile) and I had shortened the handle for use when the top is down and storage. Have had several occasions when we could have used the broom outside, but the short handle made it was a pain. So I took an old/cheap adjustable paint roller extension handle and screwed it in to the broom head. Ta-Da, a broom for all purposes.
Just thought I share this simple tip as I am always looking for nifty ideas. Got any to share?

Only one piece to carry. The telescoping paint roller extension screws into the broom head and STAYS attached. My roller handle closes to about 30" and telescopes to about 4' (about that of a regular broom handle). I just enjoyed taking two old, relatively useless items and solving a problem. Rather than going to CW with my plastic card in hand.

I'd rather have a swift kick in the nards than buy something at Camping World again.

The same thing can be had at Walmart, or buy on Amazon. Cheaper too.

It is a opportune solution if you have the old adjustable paint roller, but as you say, space is everything. You now have two pieces to carry and keep track of when a telescoping broom handle would be much more compact. When the broom handle is telescoped closed the overall length is about 2 feet and stores away in many places. A two foot broom handle would be too short for indoor or outdoor use, IMO, but is a great space saver. There are probably more telescoping broom handles than what Camping World sells.

Guess I could have gone to Camping World as others suggested, but I figured that I'd take an extra old tool, that I don't plan on using incorporate it with a semi useful broom and combine them into a practical, useful tool for all occasions. Saving space in my workshop and saving a hit on the old plastic card. As I said before space is everything in a B.

Great idea. We have a coupla extension poles at home we use for different tool heads.

Camping World has had several versions over the years.

The campingworld one I had was garbage, it came with some Wierd dustpan that had an angle that made it next to impossible to use. A few weeks later the telescoping handle slid out, plastic piece fell off, and I threw it out....

Camping World sells a nifty telescoping handle to get both a proper height to use and a short handle to make it easy to store in a B.
