Outdoor Clothes Hanging Ideas for your RV
These clothes hanging ideas will help prevent moldy wet clothes while not taking up space inside your camper.
And hanging wet clothes and towel outside to dry can help reduce condensation inside your RV. (Helps prevent your RV windows from sweating.)
Let’s look at some options.
1. Camping Clothesline
Seems straight foreword right, but sometimes the simple solutions get overlooked.
But there are easy to put up clotheslines like this one from HONGYUTAI
You can wrap the ends around trees, poles, your RV ladder or other supporting structures.
And it comes with 12 clothespins.
2. RV Bumper Clothes Drying Rack
My friend recently got one of these and she loves.
It mounts to a 4-inch square bumper that is standard on most RV’s. And there are 4 sections of the clothes line, so there is a lot of linear space to hang your towel and clothes.
This is a good option if you’re camping for extended periods of time and you need to wash your clothes. You can wash your clothes in your RV or the campground’s laundromat, then hang them on here to dry.

3. Clothes Drying Rack for your RV Ladder
Here is a neat drying rack that attaches to your RV’s ladder. This version from Fistihon has 4 arms to dry your clothes on.
The popular RV accessories company Stromberg Carlson also makes a drying rack that attaches to an RV ladder. Sorry the picture below doesn’t show it “in action” but you attach the black part of the product to your ladder and hang your clothes from the chrome-plated arms.

4. Over-the-Door Towel Rack (use outside)
Use an Over-the-Door Towel Rack like this one from iDesign.
These racks can be hung inside, and because they’re easily movable, you can bring it outside and hang it from your front door or from a storage compartment door.
It has a staggered design so you can hang several towels at once and still get some air flow to the wet fabric.
This is a versatile option and no need for drilling or permanent fixtures.
5. Suction Cup Hooks
For a non-permanent solution, consider using heavy-duty suction cup hooks such as Holiday Joy’s All-Purpose Giant Suction Cups.
These are perfect for attaching to the smooth surfaces of your RV and can hold towels, swimsuits, and lightweight clothing.
6. Magnetic Hooks
For RVs with metal bodies, Neosmuk Magnetic Hooks offer a simple and strong solution. These heavy-duty magnets can be placed on any metallic part of the RV’s exterior and are perfect for hanging wet towels or swimwear.
7. Collapsible Drying Rack
A collapsible drying rack like this one from Honey-Can-Do is perfect for setting up when you need more drying space.
It folds flat for easy storage and can be quickly set up outside your RV. And some campers set it up inside their RV shower (if they have room.)
We had an accordion-style drying rack like this and I really liked it, but it was made of wood and the plastic covering the wood eventually fell off.
I wouldn’t have a problem with a metal one like this.
8. Unique INDOOR retractable clothesline
Most campers use this inside their RV, and it creates a great spot to hang clothes and towels. It is a particularly good option if you’re staying at a campground that won’t let you put a clotheslines outside.
This retractable clothesline is from GorillaLine.
It comes with two parts. The main part that houses the clothesline, and the other part is the anchoring spot that get attaches across the room from the main part.
The clothesline locks in place after you pull it out to securely hold your clothes, and there is a button on the side to push to retract the line.
These ideas are easy-to-use solutions for drying clothes and towels outside your RV.
The RV bumper drying rack provides lots of clothesline space so it is good for lots of towels or a load of clean clothes.
The same can be said for a portable clotheslines, but the downside is that you need two vertical supports to attach it to.
Magnetic hooks and suction cup hooks are good options for hanging just a single towel to dry. And if you have a couple hooks, then you can dry out a couple of towels. Not the best option for lots of clothes or towels.
Will one of these ideas work for you and your RV?
