I thought someone here may be able to help me.
Somewhere (and I just can't remember where) I saw advertised an extendable rod that you can position between the benches (or elsewhere in the 'van) to restrain loads like water barrels etc. I was impressed at the time becase it had a boast on what pressure/weight it could bear.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about, where I could get one, or used one?

Thanks

We were thinking of how to restrain our aqua roll etc when we saw the restraining bar in our local caravan accessory shop and snapped one up.I can't remember the brand but it may very well be Millenco, it had padded ends to protect furniture. Just the job. It's maybe worth a look in your local dealers.

Just had a look at Milenco website and I think we have their one. Highly recommended.

Yes the MIlenco ones are the ones that we use. I too highly recommend them.

We still have brand new ones left for sale at the reduced price of £12.95

This is where I come clean.:-)

Actually I'm not really thinking of it for the caravan. It's for my house.
We have walls that have been built strangly with a type of plasterboard that has insulation attached to it (followed by a void), and when we have tried to drill holes in it, it "catches" and tears, and we can only put "light" things on the wall. The typical self taping/expanding strange looking screws used for this don't do the job. They work, but only just and we can't put anything heavy on the walls like shelves etc.

(And my husband is not great at DIY).

What I want is a heavy curtain across a doorway, with an extendable pole from wall to wall that needs no drilling or screwing. Shower curtain rods will not cut the mustard as the curtains are heavy and lined, and I thought perhaps the milenco bar would work. Now having looked at it, I think it looks too much like an accro prop for me to want to use it, despite me being sure it would take the weight.

Oh yes - the pole needs to extend to 1 2m.

Oh well, back to the drawing board....
