Well in our washroom we have a airing cupboard and all the wet stuff goes in there and they are soon dry
it one of the Luxuries we never had before but our Caravan is on a Seasonal site (Service Hard Standing Super Pitch) ...

We hung our towels over coat hangers, then hung them from the roof-light handles and locker door handles

Left the blown air heating on all day on low, and when got back in evening van was toasty warm, and towels all dry.

Lovely!

Sirocco towel heater? uses less power than a regular lightbulb, have it mounted or free standing.


Excellent bit of kit.....

We hang ours on the shower rail, we don't use the shower in the van and they can be a little damp cos our van has no blown air heating in the bathroom

But hey your camping so you got to expect to rough it a bit.


We had our blown air extended into the bathroom its great

How did you manage that, I thought the fridge would be in the way of the ducting !.

I guess you won't be able to use the shower either.

It was done by the dealer they suggested it as the 2012 model came with it as standard as far as the ducting is concerned its all hidden so we can't see where it comes from and in the shower it has a half moon cover on it and as far as the shower is concerned I doubt we will ever use it as you would be bashing the cat against the wall

We use the metal coat hangers that come with the sliding clips. they will not go full width of shortest side of normal bath towel but enough to allow towel to hang fully open lenght ways.

The towels are hung in awning in warmer weather but hung in loo in winter, there is a towel rail above head height across width of loo.There is a gently wafting of warm air around ones ankles while putting the world to rights.

We just hook hangers on rail opposte side to loo paper. We cant use free standing shower enclosure as this is wife's annexe wardrobe.
sometimes we use double hook door hangers on wardrobe door over the gas/electric fire ensuring the towels never touch the fire.

Keep your eye on the Aldi offers, we bought a good free standing heated towel rail last year for £20, its well worth having.
