Has anyone got a top suggestion for a clothes airer for pants , socks etc , for drying inside the van (or possibly outside ) but not a full blown washing line ?

I have a similar airer as well but made a rail that fits across the shower cubicle and the airer can hang off that out of sight.

You want one of the above but with the pegs in several straight rows that way you can get a good few pairs of pants hung up in a small space, the 'octopus' ones are good but don't actually allow you to hang up much.

I used to need one of those 'whirly' things with pegs when we had the Bessacar but have to say, M. Pilote provided a fitted retractable washing line within the shower which has been well used ever since we've owned it and I fully intend to continue using it. It doesn't have a shower rail cos it has a tri-fold perspex door.

Bike rack good if sun at the back
Dashboard good if sun at front
Wing mirrors good if sun on side.

We got one too!
The pegs eventually gave up so bought some stronger ones drilled the holes and attached them, also stuck some foam on one side so it doesn’t mark the wardrobe door!
If stuff is really wet then it either goes outside (will hang off an open window) or in the bathroom.

We have a couple of stainless steel sock hangers from Amazon. Can hang on the awning rail if weather suitable or in the shower if not. Like the plastic ones but more robust. We also carry a rotary dryer for a bigger wash.

I like the idea if those octopus type hangers, they do look ideal for socks, etc. When it comes to towels, we purchased some beach size micro fibre towels. They don't feel great when drying yourself (they feel like they want to stick to your skin) but they dry fantastically fast, much quicker than normal towels (and they weigh a fraction of a similar size ordinary towel. We hang them up from a small drying rail that Burstner have fitted to the top of the shower unit.

If you have a ducato cab then a string line between the grab handles above the doors is great for overnight drying when not using he front seats.
B&M do a rectangular hanging drier as above for a few beer tokens .

The leg frame from our outside table (one of those roll up top aluminium types) makes a good outside drier.
In washroom, I have these hung off the shower rail

You can get expandable bars from many DIY stores that screw out to fit different lengths, just make certain you know roughly the width you want it to expand too, and buy accordingly. Hope this helps?

I have one of those drying racks that hooks over tops of doors. In the winter, with the blown air heating running, it hangs off the curtain rail across the rear door, in the shower of my PVC.
In the summer, when the sun is shining, it can hang outside off any door but usually the back.

Thanks for all the suggestions . My next request is I am looking for a solution to hang jackets in the garage - would a tension rail (the ones you expand) be strong enough to hold the jackets when travelling but not damage the walls ?

There are some heavy duty ones which are okay (bar about an inch) but most I would not recommend. If you know the weight you want to carry and its permanent, why not make you own from a DIY store using a shower rail construction?
