Has anyone come up with a clever way of cleaning the slide roof before retracting? After a long camping weekend I know there are a bunch of fir needles up there. I'd rather not haul a ladder. I keep thinking about some sort of articulated pole with a whisk broom attached. I need to come up with something before I break my neck standing on two stacked coolers! ------------- Rob 2012 HRE 177 2010 Toyota Tacoma |

i have seen some pics of a type of awning that attaches to the lip above the slide thats supposed to keep all debree from getting caught up there, maybe do a search online for that? I was actually thinking hte same thing the other day when checking mine to slide it back in, good luck

I carry a 4' ladder because I often clean and wax etc...while I'm camping. It's an activity I enjoy with cold beer. Anyway, I just hose it off as part of my breakdown process. I suppose you could stand on the tailgate of a truck or the back deck of an SUV and hose it off. ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

I now carry a telescoping ladder to check out my slide-out. Lightweight and doesn't take up much room. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Doug, I have been looking at those, what model did you get? Are you happy with it? I have seen mixed reviews on some. ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

This is the exact one I bought, although it was $65 when I bought it a month ago. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BM8EKMS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BM8EKMS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 No issues with mine. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
