Common questions about Clothes Airer Pull Out Expander Clothes Line Caravan RV Laundry Accessories
Where can I safely mount it?
Into something solid. Caravan wall skins are thin, so fix it to a stud, a cupboard end or a backing plate rather than trusting the panel by itself. Wet towels weigh far more than dry ones, and the load hangs 68cm out from the wall on a lever.
How much laundry will it actually take?
Think a day of clothes and a couple of towels spread across the lines, not a household load. At 68cm of extension, each item needs air around it to dry. Crowding the lines is how you end up with damp clothes and that flat, musty caravan smell.
Will it cope with coastal trips?
Aluminium alloy does not rust the way a steel airer does in salt air or humidity, which is the point of it. It is also detachable, so take it off when you are not using it. In a narrow van, one less thing at elbow height is a win.
