Just got a new trailer with a 14 foot slide out. Subsequently camping with it a few times I have discovered that a lot of twiggs and pine cones will accumulate on the slide out roof. I don't think it is good to close the slide with this stuff on top all the same getting up in that location with a broom is hard because of the tiptop. I have not been able to find a cleaning device that is fabricated for this purpose. Aside from a slide awning or carrying a step-ladder has anyone found an easy fashion to access this area? Thanks.

Have you lot ever saw those extended handle dusters used for loftier window sills at home? They work good for this, you can bend the end however you want.

I always leave the slideout open up for the get-go several miles on the throughway, then pull over and close it...no more roof debris! I'k afaid of heights, and then no ladders for me! ![[emoticon]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vzFZJNQQ-EieoGEZFmHQwze7jIvP4PriCm9YD3JmLcuJQtwJmR_MawFkf5TXsYNqOnPy7ogNkUHkJoPWo62yX-g_5zWE5hnUur1VzrFoOBBU2cd3eAYAHK=s0-d "biggrin")

Twice, I have cleaned the slide past parking my truck adjacent to information technology and standing in the bed. |

| Climb up the rear ladder and use a broom or blower to remove twigs, leaves, etc. I carry an electric blower. I also use it to accident stuff off the patio if needed. If yous are scared of heights, you'll take to get you a curt step ladder. |

| Cheers for all of the suggestions. I am not particularily afraid of heights nevertheless climbing up my ladder and getting on the RV roof to sweep off the slide seems to be a bit much. I like the idea of the bendable cleaning wand which was suggested. I'll accept a wait for one. In addition I guess a six foot pace ladder will also have to be added to our inventory. |

| Camillit sounds like a good idea but you should use a shop vac that blows and sucks. One less affair to have in the RV. You can use the vac inside and the blower outside, information technology besides blows up diverse inflatable toys. |

| I hate summit........so, I bought an electric leaf blower and....bought 2" black ABS plastic drain piping. It fits into my foliage blower outlet. I bought a 10' piece, and so glued a 90' elbow, then a 12" directly peice, then another 90'. I walk, on the ground, and everything blows off the slide roofs. I saw kits on the Internet selling for $69.....are they serious? It didn't even include the electrical blower! $69 for $10 worth of plastic pipage? Hit the bricks! |

| Nosotros likewise take a foliage blower, I don't only use it for slide, but for patio carpeting as well. Comes in handy that's for sure. |

| Thats not funny fordpooperscooperduper. Newbies might merely believe you. I carry a modest household three footstep folding ladder. It won't reach, merely if I slide the picnic table over & put the ladder on it, information technology works fine. And yeah I'm Skeeeerd of heights. |
