Our Vantage FLS 32 also lacks a cover on the slide out. The dealer told us we couldn't install a cover because the slide out includes the refrigerator, which, of course, includes the gas exhaust vent, which could cause a heat issue with the cover. Don't know if that's true, since our last trailer had the refrigerator vent right under the main awning and it never caused a problem. Nevertheless, we decided to go without. The dealer did say it was important to keep the top of the slide out clean of leaves, needles, etc. I tried using a broom as you plan, but found that was a hassle...instead, I bought a cheapo $29 leaf blower and it works like a charm.
