DIY paper towel holder

[WoldsSunlight]

Take one wire coat hanger, 2 pairs of pliers, et voila! Hangs off the 2 hooks provided in my van above the sink area. I dare say there are bespoke (i.e. expensive) versions out there, but this took 15 minutes to make.

Mk 2 version will have RHS hanging loop in opposite direction, i.e. vertical wire hangs inboard for better 'running' of roll, but this seems to work ok!

Nah…. Too easy, has to be complicated and delicate and because it’s for a motorhome cost at least £67.95…..

I will have a gold one please

I did something similar but then switched for a tension rod as they are really cheap. £10 for 5 typically.

Ingenius but prefer to keep ours in a draw out of site same in the kitchen at home.

I'm guessing you need a bulkhead at either end for that solution, which is something I don't have.

I also used coat hanger wire but used a piece of fibreglass tent pole for the roll to sit on.

Oh poor you.

Sunlight obviously did not think to provide one - unlike N&B.

Cheap jibe I know but some MH builders do pay attention to details.

No poor me at all, just posting in case it is of any use to anyone else - clearly not you, as you seem to have all manner of superior things in your obviously superior motorhome in your superior life!
I bet they provide a live-aboard mechanic as well to change any punctures?

I've been a member of this website for just over a few weeks, and every website seems to have one - just my luck to find the forum ars*hole so quickly!

Oops…

Upgraded to Mk 2 version this morning. Can do these for N&B MHs at £1k a pop, plus p+p obviously..

Some of us are supercilious; and others are just cilious [and less expensive]...

Upgraded this after 2 years of the homemade solution. Bought a stainless steel towel holder on Amazon for £7.99 after prising the rail partly out of the van wall, and discovering that M6 bolts would slide head first into the slot where the hooks were and would not rotate. The towel holder came with 2 holes already drilled in it, so it was simply a case of sliding 2 bolts into the rail (I cut down 20mm length bolts to approx 8mm) attaching the holder, and securing with a washer and a domed stainless steel nut. I also put an M6 spring washer between the rail and the head of the bolt. I then simply pushed the rail back flush into the wall. All fixings used were stainless steel. Quite pleased with the result, particularly as Sunlight/Carado wanted over £40 for the branded item!

You're clearly the diy kitchen toll holder guru
Have you thought about branching out into other areas ?

No. Have you thought about spell checking?

Can I suggest that you read Rule 1 ... you appear to have been sailing close to the wind in 2021 with your comment and mentioning someone's spelling is a big no-no.

I have a lovely 1960s/70s kitchen roll holder however across our 'kitchen' window I have a tension rod and on that I have a toilet roll which is ideal for the odd small spill, wiping down butter knives etc, rather than using a big sheet of kitchen roll.
