Slide room broom

I'm about to take my new 5th wheel out. I ordered it where I work and have it in storage now. I want to clean the leaves and twigs off my slide rooms before I close them. I am too heavy for the ladder on the back. I have been told someone makes a long broom with the proper angle to sweep the leaves off the tops of the slide rooms. Have any of you heard of such a broom ?

Thanks
  • I'm also a fan of slide toppers...but since you don't have one and can't climb on the roof, I have seen folks use a folding step ladder and a battery powered leaf blower....

  • If for some reason I couldn't get up on top to sweep off the stuff, I would build something similar to what I built for cleaning my house roof gutters. PVC pipe, 2 90's an a cut off broom and short handle that fits tightly into one of the 90's (Up, over & down). I do not glue the fittings so it can be taken apart.
  • Get slide toppers installed. I have never had to sweap off my slide room roof.
