Drying Wet Walking Gear

[Yorky1]

Hi

What do folks do to dry wet walking gear? Our little Spaniel needs long walks whatever the weather so I’d expect to be getting soaked quite often.

Thanks

Should you be thinking of getting walking gear that is waterproof so should not need drying ? Just shaking off. Rohan gear is very good expensive But it last for years

We use the rail in the bathroom and switch on the heating duct for bathroom.

Do you mean how do we accelerate the drying of wet clothing?
You can get airers that hang off an open window or larger free standing ones.

Drying wet walking clothes was always a struggle in our first van, Duetto. The heater was limited by the amount of outlets with none in the bathroom.
The Rienza we have now has an outlet in the bathroom. With the heating on gas and the outlets in the living area partially closed the bathroom gets warm very quickly. We have left the heating on the lowest electric setting overnight on one occasion because we had run out of dry socks.

I am always reluctant to use any form of heating to dry clothes in the van as it can create condensation which can lead to a musty if not damp van, so if we need to dry anything, smalls etc, Rohan underwear drys in 4 hours by hanging in our shower. Metal extending wash line in shower area. Works for us and we have no window or vent in shower.

We’ve got one of those small airer things with 6 arms and a tripod.
We put it under the fridge vent where the warm air from the fan blows onto the clothes to dry them.
It’s actually really affective

Expanding cafenet curtain poles are quite good and can be placed in various areas in the MH so long s you've got a flat surface for them to push against and can be left in place all the time, if needs be coat hangers can also be useful to 'hook' over them, the back of the washroom door etc. In our previous PVCs I used to have them above the bed to hand stuff on out of the way (plastic cover & microfibre towel over bed if dripping) and also in the washroom. In one PVC though, before the poles, I used elasticated washing line with hooks on the end slotted in the handles of the lockers over the bed, criss-crossing to get maximum line length ... it looked like something from mission impossible!

Same here.

Just hang in the shower and open the rooflight, if it's still raining just open to to the vent setting.

When on EHU, we use a small heated towel rail to dry stuff - it’s just inside the hab door, and serves to warm clothes on a cold winter morning too!!

My cycling kit is washed and dried almost everyday when we're out in the van. We dry clothes outside on a freestanding clothes dryer and if it's wet out then we place that under the awning. If it's really wet or we're moving on then we have a small dryer rack in the shower that we use, with the air vent in the shower open and some air flow as we drive along then things do dry albeit slowly.
