My DIY Clothes Rack

I bet those clothes dry pretty fast at freeway speeds! ;)

(Good design, by the way.)

I like it.

I bought this one as well, and did the same mod to the top line, replacing it with a pvc pipe with a wooden dowel inserted inside for rigidity. Hanging clothes/towels on the top rung was OK, but the other rope lines sagged under the weight of wet towels - notice he's only using the top rung. Yes - no matter how tight you made it, the other lines were almost useless.

Not true at all, that pic was taken when we happened by coincidence to have towels hanging just off the top rung, usually we have wet bathing suits, towels, whatever hanging off the rope as well. Works just fine - if it didn't I'd have replaced all the rope with rigid pipe but it wasn't necessary. :B

Innovative, but strikes me as cumbersome compared to this RV Bumper Mounted Clothesline I bought at Camping World years ago and is still sold these days. I've used mine on trailers with the spare tire mounted on the bumper, trailers with a large bike door on the rear wall, no problem. For travel the two poles simply roll up with the rope and live in the front pass through storage compartment. :B

Clothes line wasn't invented for nothing. Unsightly and getting in the way, but works well :)
