lol........yet another feature our '87 Starcraft Nova came with.  It's an L shaped bar in the corner of the roof.  Works great.

I use para-cord for our indoor clothesline.  It works great and doesn't stretch out when in use. 

I tied one end to the frame that holds the shower curtain, and then just looped it back and forth making a zig-zag pattern on the square frame above the shower/toilet.  I tied the other end and then used it to either hang towels from or wet clothing.  It works great, and any water that drips out lands in the shower drain.  Just be careful not to load 10 things on there at once if the shower mount isn't secure (ours happens to be pretty stout.

And it is cheap!  The OP here should consider picking some up to make an indoor and/or an outdoor clothes line.  I also use it to hang Old Glory when we camp.  I take her everywhere and she always has a light on her!

I use para-cord for our indoor clothesline.

The same idea works really well for creating an outdoor clothesline under the rear bed for items like wet bathingsuits, towels, etc -



Clothes air dry quickly but don't get wet again even if it rains because they're under the canopy of the rear bed. Tongue

^^Me Likey^^

I've got 50' of para-cord in olive drab that I use for outside clothes/towel drying, and 100' of it that I use for a zip line (for lack of a better term) for a dog run.  Love it because it blends in, and becomes invisible.

Ready made cordage...  many strands inside to work with if needed.  It's right up there with duct tape!

Did it early last yr. Works well as long as it's not too windy and raining.

This is the same we use, a couple of bungee cords on each end takes care of towels and life vests.
