Caravan Heated Towel Warmer

You don't say if it's an internal wall you'll be mounting the warmer on. Internal walls tend to be flimsy and may not bear the weight of the appliance. There again, mounting on an exterior wall can be a risky thing to do in view of damage to insulation and the chance of water ingress.

In 45 years of vanning we've not yet felt the need for such a device and I would think long and hard before installing one. 

Hi, it's the exterior wall and that was partly my point about suitability on an exterior wall.

We currently have a towel warmer (the wall mounted version above but freestanding (with feet on) in our old caravan and it's great to have nice warm dry towels in the morning when you've had a shower so would fully recommend it

Regards,

Andy.

I have a towel rail fitted to the outside wall. No problems in three years, I was just carefull when I fitted it.

It does keep a slight heat going in the night when the noisey fan in the blown air unit is off, and the towels are lovely warm when I hand them to my girlfriend in the shower.

Good point, best get a bigger towel rail and a couple of extra towels

Although I'm a keen DIY'er I want the retailer to install it so that it complies with best practice and I don't have to start carving up my shiny new van.

Each to their own, Andy. Personally I'd rather not risk damaging the integrity of the wall but only someone who understands the construction of the van will be able to advise on the suitability of your chosen heaters. 

 I am dubious about the outside wall due to the weight of the towel rail but I have installed similar to the internal walls of my caravans. I used various bolts and backing plates to ensure the towel rail was secure.

There are other models available, which might more easily fit an internal wall, if you search on Google.

I find a towel rail invaluable to warm towels and give a bit of warmth to the bathroom overnight

What's the big deal about warm towels? I don't get it at all.

But some do 

As I said, each to their own. 

The heated towel rail in my Coachman is part of the Alde heating .... it's simply screwed to the wall board using chrome pipe fittings
