Cleaning up for a roadside stop<\/h2>\n<p>Firstly, we use our brush to remove the dust from the side of our camper trailer when we want to enjoy coffee and cake on the side of the road.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Getting rid of dust<\/h2>\n<p>Give your vehicle some TLC by brushing off the built up bull-dust from the hard surfaces and ledges of your car.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Gear maintenance<\/h2>\n<p>Sweep the bottom of the groundsheet or the swag before packing it away to maintain your gear and keep it from getting dirty over time.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Keeping your swag clean<\/h2>\n<p>You can use it to clear the sand and grit from our feet before climbing into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/swags\">swag.\u00a0<\/a>This prevents the interior of your sleeping quarters from feeling crunchy and gritty, and will also keep your sleeping bag, liner and pillow in better condition.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Dusting off your camp oven<\/h2>\n<p>Dust the loose ash and coals from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/bedourie\">Bedourie<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/camp-ovens\">camp oven<\/a> before lifting the lid, that way you won&#8217;t be showered with blackened ash when you lift the lid up.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a myriad other ways of using this versatile piece of camping equipment. Grab one out of your shed, pack your camping gear and head off on a new adventure outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you got some other uses for a paintbrush when camping?
