Nice and easy one for a Tuesday...how do you dry them?

I see lots of people hanging them over the wing mirrors or on airers out of windows but when it's raining, have people come up with creative ways to dry? Tongue Out

I use a towel the size of a hand towel about 80cm x 60cm microfibre. OH has one about 140cm x 65 cm. We dry on radiator in washroom area. OH on rail over radiator, mine in a towel ring in the washroom. When we have been out we switch them over. 

If we have done a load of Tee shirts and trousers and we are going out for the day I will have washed them in site machine at around 7am, hung outside until 9am and when we go out hang them off locker handles, in shower with door open and trousers from the handle of two small skylights using two coat hangers so that the legs are open on trousers. All Tee shirts on coat hangers. Underwear on small carousel hung from window catch in washroom which is close to the radiator. Might be a little like a Chinese laundry but we will be out until about 4pm by which time most things are dry. When we are away for two weeks at Christmas we have enough clothes not to wash. When on most trips we are away from 4.5 to 7.5 weeks we we need a few washes.

We never put them over the mirrors which become encrusted with road muck, dead flies and so on.Yell

When on the move we peg them to the handles of the overhead locker doors. At the end of our journey they are dry, especially if the sun pours through the Heki.

If we're not on the move and they can't be dried outside, we peg them to the locker door handles above the cab. If all else fails we use the Brabantia pull out airier in our washroom on which they will rarely dry.Sad

I have always wondered........do MHers who drape their towels over their wing mirrors clean off the mirrors first?

Just never seen any of them actually doing so.

hang in shower leave door open close blower vents in main bit but fully open vent in washroom. Gets toasty warm and dries in no time.

We recentlyu bought 2 of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016MXNWDA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they are much better than a standard towel and easily dry without getting smelly.

We have also hung towels over the rails for the HEKI lights both when stationary and when travelling, gets a bit of sun and helps the drying process.

Brilliant! would you say they absorb water as easily as a "normal" towel? I used to have a "fast drying towel" when I ran and exercised and it seemed to do nothing of any use  - rather just move the water along Laughing

This could work beautifully given where my toilet door and blower is - love it!
