We attached a full length mirror on the inside of the bathroom door. On either side of the mirror we put small cup hooks. TP is on a tiny bungee cord attached to the cup hooks. Keeps it handy and since the TP is resting against the mirror it doesn't unroll while traveling. We did the paper towels with a bungee as well in the kitchen. ------------- Sherrie & Carol, Henri, Jay & Tanner 2004 Dodge Dakota w/4.7 V8 2011 r-pod 177 Let's go camping! |

I've got a roll of paper on a self-adhesive toilet roll holder I attached to the wall under the sink (Just have to remember to take it out when showering.) I also have 2 spare rolls that sit side-by-side in a rectangular plastic box with a lid (so it's waterproof). I got the box from the dollar store, and that sits on the floor to one side at the back of the toilet. The box was the perfect size for 2 rolls. ------------- 2011 RP 177, the Hodge-PODge 2011 Mercedes ML350 "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." |

I found a simple plastic toilet paper holder with an adhesive back at WalMart. Its installed on the wall behind the toilet, close to the inside corner, up fairly high (about the top of my head while sitting on the commode). Essentially, you reach up and to your left while sitting on the commode to find the toilet paper (note: we have a RP-171, so our bathroom is located on the curb side with the toilet facing the front of the trailer). Its an odd placement, I agree. But, it doesn't jut out into the space where you're trying to move around. Its also well protected behind the pulled-out shower curtain, so the toilet paper doesn't have to be removed while showering. RVers Tip: slightly squish/flatten the toilet paper roll into an oval before installing in the holder. That way, the toilet paper won't unravel while the trailer is bumping along the road on the way down the highway.

We put ours on the shower curtain bar--we just put the bar right through the hole in the cardboard roll. ------------- Margo and Tom and dogs |

I have a rope that I hang the toilet paper on around the shower controls. ------------- tdrace's 2018 180 2010 FORD F150 V-8 equalizer e-2 hitch Sisters on the Fly #1569 |

margobun, I'm not picturing what you described. I don't think I could thread a toilet paper roll onto the shower curtain bar.

I think she means the rod that hung that useless thing-a-ma-jiggy (the vinyl hanging closet  -- you know, the one we all got rid of).------------- 2011 RP 177, the Hodge-PODge 2011 Mercedes ML350 "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." |

I found this at a marine supply store and mounted it inside the door.

I actually do mean the shower curtain rod; see picture, below. We actually like our vinyl closet, by the way. When we're driving, it hangs in the bathroom, but then we pull it out and hang it on the hooks on the back of the bathroom door. We use it for clothes and towels and stuff. ------------- Margo and Tom and dogs |

Margo, I'm glad your "closet" works for you -- and I could see it would be okay for soft goods. I'm sure that's what Forest River actually had in mind.
P.S. I actually thought your idea for hanging the toilet paper on the rod was quite unique and resourceful!  ------------- 2011 RP 177, the Hodge-PODge 2011 Mercedes ML350 "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." |

Ah, my 'pod doesn't have that. The shower curtain is carried on a very small I-beam, I think made of aluminum. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Believe it or not, that rod is not for the shower curtain. It's for the hanging closet storage organizer. The shower curtain is hung just as you describe. ------------- 2011 RP 177, the Hodge-PODge 2011 Mercedes ML350 "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." |

Whoops, you're totally right. It's the organizer rod! ------------- Margo and Tom and dogs |

I have mine laying in the bottom left mesh netting that came attached to the inside of the shower. P.s. I have my Dissertation stuffed in there behind the Penthouse magazine as well. Good reading material while on the can.   ------------- 2010 Rpod 172 :) 2004 Chevy Trailblazer |

I'm working on my dissertation, too. For my Ed.D. not Ph.D. But I guarantee you won't find it anywhere in the loo! ------------- 2011 RP 177, the Hodge-PODge 2011 Mercedes ML350 "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." |

secretbard, lol.
kotasnana, I like that idea, easily accessible through the day but easy to remove for a shower. We usually just stuff it behind the shower's hose but it always falls out. I'm going to try it your way. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
