Hi!

How do you guys dry your towels? (Boring topic I know, but hopefully useful). I hang mine up on a hook in the bathroom, yet they still see damp the next day. Please help!

We also sail as well as motorhome, drying towels on a boat is even more of a chore as you do not benefit from sun shining through the cab windows.  We  have solved the problem by ditching the traditional towels and replaced with lightweight towels from outdoor shops, such as Blacks or Millets.  Once used the towel can be hung on a clothes hanger or similar, it will be dry in about 30 minutes.

Hang them on the wing mirrors in sunny windy weather and in the bathroom when travelling with the window set on ventilation gap which can give a nice circulation of air. When we had the fiamma bike rack we used to peg them onto the wheel rails with the bikes off, but dont forget and drive off,with them on. You could purchase a mini rotary line, but its something else to find room for. 17

I like moving from site to site, so ideally need something on the move, but that's not always the case. I also don't want something else really to carry (especially if bulky!). I hadn't thought of using the bike rack - good idea!

Does anyone use a radiator airer out of a window?

We have also found this to be a bit of a problem since changing from caravan to MH. We used to hang towels over the roof vent bar in the caravan whether static or travelling this worked well.
We haven't managed to find an equivilent solution in the MH yet so will be following this thread with interest.

We find we can dry a large towel quite well just laid over the dashboard, even on not very sunny days and also drape them over the backs of the passenger and driver's seats when travelling.

We put on the bike rack in the sun (what else is a bike rack for?) or lay across the dashboard or over the front seats.  When travelling we lay them on across the table and the cover of the cooker and sink in the kitchen area.  In wet weather we put in bathroom with low fan heater on, also do this if we go out and clothes get wet.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

If you are talking about drying your towels while on the move during the day just string a washing line diagonally across the inside of the van & peg up the towels.

I have a couple of those elasticy washing lines and they fit onto the top of the sun canopy poles and the other end onto the bike rack or another sun canopy pole.  They only cost a couple of quid and take up no room.
