Bit of a 'theme' emerging from replies, big awnings too much trouble and shower sacrificed as wet store for many!
Can't argue with a bigger awning often being too much trouble, but I would really miss not using the shower for it's intended purpose! I don't really have option of hanging wet coats in doorway entrance ('hall'), as bathroom door slides up to entrance door on one side, so no free wall space for hooks, and cooker flames/cooking splatter too close to any coats that would be hung on other side! Besides it's a very small doorway I can't walk straight through anyway (my shoulders are 2 inches wider than door frame, I have to sidle through one shoulder first and duck my head to avoid banging it), so hanging coats would be a real nuisance!
My lightweight 1 pole, 15 mins erect 2.6m porch awning is without doubt one of the smartest caravan accessories I've bought, in fact if I'd bought it first, I probably wouldn't have bought the big awning at all! It really is so quick and easy to erect and dismantle, it's worth it for even the shortest stays if a hint of inclement weather.
Only time I've really needed to hang wet cloths in shower was when I got absolutely drowned and jacket and trousers were literally dripping and weren't going to dry naturally for days, so hung on shower 'towel' rail (standard fitment in my van, I assume it's a towel rail, but it's above head height and right across centre of cubical, it may well be a clothes drying rail though) and a fan heater set up to blow warm air into cubical. A few hours and I had my shower back. All the wet dog towels, harness and lead, and my walking boots stayed out in the awning.

it went in a black bin bag, I went in the shower after I'd finished coat got a rinse to shift the mud and hung up to dry.
