If you can share a way for me to possibly do that, I will owe you night's worth of cocktails.

After seeing Jim's nice paper towel holder, I just ordered one of these towel holders by the same company. It looks to be easy to hang while camping and take down when traveling. Nice place for a dish towel. Towel Rack

You have to remove or anchor the paper towel on these racks or they will unwind during travel.

You mean like the toilet paper sometimes does when we forget to take it down?

[gbaglo]

If you squeeze the TP or paper towel roll so that it is oval, not round, it isn't supposed to unroll. I remove it myself.

[Jim Bennett]

We use the squeeze method for the TP. Thought everyone did. We have never had an unravelling issue when travelling doing this.

We mostly use the single hooks the same way. This is the great thing about these, that we only need to pull them out when needed, and not have permanently mounted. Just like the suction cup hooks on the exterior, you can put up just as many as you need.

Stick with Viva brand towels as they won't unravel.

[LeonW]

We just take the paper towels down and stuff them in the closet. Easy to do with these hooks.

[Vermilye]

I use a rubber band around the toilet paper, and this paper towel holder. The rubber balls on the end help keep the towels from unrolling. I think I got the idea from Glenn (gbaglo). Using Viva towels helps as well...

Mine has been attached using double-sided tape for six years. Thought I might have to use screws at some point, but not yet.

[MyronL]

Ok, I admit my solution hasn't worked so great.

It is not likely coming off without taking some veneer with it now.

[gbaglo]

Not planning on doing it, but I figure I could slice through the foam part of the tape with a bread knife, and then soak the foam with Goo-be-gone.

[Kountrykamper]

Sorry it took me so long Dave.

I have been trying to remember to take pictures of ours and finally remembered last night. I mounted it on the front bath wall which we had made a solid wall.

[Dave Whiting]

Perfect, these are exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks so much!

I think I'm going to have to order another because Mary decided she likes it in the house on the cabinet door below the kitchen sink.

KountryKamper,
Your Umbro Hooks look real nice. I plan to instal them myself. All our trailer walls are reinforced. Do you know the thickness of the pilewood ETI used to reinforced the walls? What size of wood screws should I use? Thanks.

Can these hooks be installed if we don't have the reinforced walls? There must be support near the edges. Perhaps I would need a wider set of hooks??
