How Do I Keep The Clothes In My RVs Closet From Falling On The Floor When Driving?

After driving my RV, I find all the hangers have fallen off the rod in the closet and the clothes on the floor. How do I keep the hangers in place?

ANSWER: Greetings thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

This is a common problem that a lot of RVers face. You’re all excited when you get to your campsite and decide to change into different clothing and go to the closet in the RV only to find all of your clothes in a giant wrinkled pile on the closet floor.

Please hang in there (sorry I could not resist) because believe it or not there are actually clothes hangers that are designed for use in RVs. They are called Stay-Put Clothes Hangers. These hangers have an innovative clip-on design that stays put on your RV's closet bar.

These super heavyweight poly hangers are designed to grip the closet bar so they won’t bounce off while your RV is moving. This helps keep your clothes neat and off the closet floor. They are actually sturdy enough for your heaviest garments. There is no extra hardware to purchase or install, since they work with your existing closet hardware.

Hopefully these hangers will help you keep your clothes where they belong. If any of our visitors have other tips or suggestions for you they can add them to this page by clicking on the "Click Here To Post Comments" link located near the bottom of this page.

Rating Hangers that stay put.... by: Anonymous Sometimes it's not the clothes falling off the hanger that is the problem, but the entire hanger, clothes and all, that drops to the floor when the RV is traveling down the road. Even pinning the clothes to the hanger won't help that problem. Hangers need to stay put. This is just the ticket; and since they are not attached to the rod, they are versitile and can be taken with you to a new RV if needed.

Rating Why not save money and not buy gadgets? by: nightowl I see no reason to buy new gadgets when you can modify existing ones. If you use standard wire coat hangers, you can easily bend the hook end closed enough so that the doesn't bounce off whichever type of hanger holder your particular rv has. If certain items slide off the hangers, clothespins work well to hold the clothes on the hangers. If certain items get "hanger shoulder" dents in them, I've seen modifications made to the hangers such as cushioning added to them. You can likely google "diy cushioned hangers" and find the instructions to make them. I hope these simple solutions help.
