Caravan Heated Towel Warmer

That might be to do with not providing your significant other with warm towels.

I sort of killed two birds with one stone.I fitted a low wattage panel heater ( 500w) and then fitted a towel rail above the heater.These are available in small sizes.I was fortunate with our van as it has two wardrobes in the bathroom so i was able to use one of the wardrobe walls that i could access from both sides which lets you bolt your brackets on.As regards fitting anything like this "blind" on an exterior wall it can be tricky but by no means impossible.I cant see that the rail woul be exceptionally heavy and there are a number of types of fixing available these days for studded type walls.The biggest problem with most caravans is haveing a space where the rail will fit but its the type of job that most good diy,ers would tackle.

I personally would be worried about drilling or "fixing" anything near the outside wall for fear of comprising water integrity............

Have you thought of a freestanding item, perhaps like this.....??

 Hi, yes, we already have the VonHaus heated towel rail I mentioned in my original post (but the white version). This has been an excellent towel warmer but we don't really have room for a free-standing version in the new caravan hence this will also attach to a wall.

I will ensure the dealerships knows my requirements and fits it according to any caravan manufacturers recommendations.

Thanks to all for your useful feedback.

We have a small electric heated towel rail in our end bathroom. I fitted it to the door frame and drilled through the frame for the cable to plug into a mains point near the fixed bed. The cable is held neatly against the wall with a short length of self adhesive plastic trunking.We've come a long way since the days when we camped in our two man tent!

Provided that the fasteners used are appropriate, a heated towel rail can be fixed to any wall. Installing the cabling should be done by a qualified person especially as the washroom is a high safety zone.

Hi all, just a quick note to say I've installed my towel warmer myself after my dealership wanted to charge me £200 to fit it and then wouldn't guarantee the work.

Instead of fixing it to the wall which may have presented problems over time I fitted it using clips at each side and a wall bracket inverted by 90 degrees to support the weight underneath.

The power comes from a fused spur in the bedroom.

Nice warm dry towels from now on

looks like a very neat installation. Well done and enjoy your warm towels.  I fitted one in my caravans end bathroom, well worth the effort.
