Hmm. A shower curtain holder perhaps? Seems a bit beefy for that, but since we are wild guessing...

Bathroom door prop. To latch the door open a couple of inches...

A mount on the wall to hold all your bungee cords?
The screws sticking through the wall could come in handy to mount something on the outside too.

You mount it to the top of a box of wine so it can hold your straw?

What could possibly be more classy than drinking wine with a straw from a 3 liter box of wine? You have definitely got a winner here Ron. This is the best invention since those hats that hold multiple beer cans on your head. My only concern with your invention is the bolts or screws you will use to mount the straw holder to the box. You'll have to be careful not to puncture the 3 liter plastic bladder of win inside the box. Maybe you should review the thread about mounting a Springfield table pedestal in an Escape 21 before you go into full production on these wine box straw holders.

Not quite complete. You didn't mention the "Decabet" (metric alphabet with only 10 characters) explained by Dan Aykroyd, I believe, in an early Saturday Night Live skit but I haven't found a clip of it yet that hasn't been blocked by copyright laws.

Stainless steel toothbrush holder - suitable for manual or electric models for hands-free dental hygiene. You just gyrate your mouth around the stationary toothbrush. Keeps ones hands free for texting while brushing. Very popular among millennials.

Shore power cord retainer to be attached to rear bumper so that if you forget to disconnect before driving away you will rip the power pole out of the ground rather than damaging the trailers power inlet.

I see everyone’s missed it so far. Very obvious it is mounted to the rear bumper to attach the dog’s chain to. Just have to make sure when you leave not to do what Chevy Chase did in Christmas Vacation.

My, what a bunch of cr... er creative minds we have on the forum. And the things I learned

I've had that type of faucet/shower set-up before. I cracked one once and ever since every time I move the hose I'm aware of just how fragile that small vertical plastic spigot is.

Just one of those little mods I was saving for a rainy day.

That’s probably not as far out as it sounds, I’ve seen them text and drink at the same time and although it sounds dangerous, they say some text and drive too. So brushing teeth seems plausible but you could have gone PVC pipe.

Where will it go?

Did you make it and/or is there a link to order one?

No, it's homemade. Even if there're been one available I'd probably still have made one. It was also a good chance to try out my new led strip lighting over my welding bench. So much brighter.

Go all the way, go Torx.

Partially kidding of course, not so readily available, but a heck of a lot stronger.

That aside Ron, good idea, and nice work.
