As a comment to needing more hooks and hanging options, we've found that the over-the-door type work quite well, even for our towels. We had a travel trailer before our A.C.E., and put a Command hook in the bathroom to handle an extra towel. Well, it pulled the wallpaper (if you could call it that) and created a big bubble in it. We panicked, took the hook down, and fortunately didn't damage the wallpaper. Amazingly, over the next month or so the wallpaper "un-bubbled" and we couldn't see where we'd put the hook. So, we've avoided using them wherever there is a chance for condensation or there's anything that remotely resembles wallpaper.
And as for rattles, the suggestion to cushion things with towels seems to be fairly universal. We put one between the range and stove cover. And we use a couple of them in the cupboard where we store coffee cups. It helps.
Motorhomes are not quiet vehicles, we've decided. Very different from driving in our big Expedition & pulling a trailer. But we wouldn't trade it for the world! |
Yikes! I had thought of those supposedly reusable/removeable hooks as well, but not sure now, especially if they mess with the wall covering. I know what you mean about the "stuff" on the walls. I assume a lot of it is some kind of printed vinyl or even paper and could be damaged relatively easily.
I have ordered a set of something called "Magic Hooks" that claim to be easily removable and reusable. They use micro suction cups to adhere to "nonporous" surfaces....not sure if the wall coverings in the RV qualify - but thought I'd try them out. They are sold @ QVC.com.
We're quite hesitant to be drilling holes in the walls to install things like hooks since we can't always tell what's behind the walls. Not sure if a stud finder would help in those cases!
I have also thought of some over-the-door racks, but haven't found any I like so far.
Thank you for your kind remarks about my post!
