Tissue Holder Brake

Nice little mod..


I usually just licked the end of TP and stuck it to roll. :B

I have never seen this as a problem during my 19 years of full-timing. However, if this was an issue with your coach it's likely a problem someone else has had to deal with. Thanks for posting!

Nice looking fix.

I don't have the issue because of the style of the holder, the roll is always against the wall:


I did have a similar issue with a paper towel holder, now we use a clothespin to clamp the loose end to the roll (pin on the side, just poke a finger 1/2" back to make room).

We just squeeze the roll a little so the core is out of round. Works for paper towels too...

Never had to squeeze the roll to get it out of round, they're always squished when the come out of the package.

+2 Smash the roll so the inner tube is oval instead of round.

In 10+ years of RVing, I don't think we've ever had that problem.

Had a problem like that with paper towels - quick fix 15 yrs ago was a small fishing weight and a piece of shoelace to hang down over roll. Still using the same shoelace and weight (gets washed once in a while...) Noticed that the paper towels and toilet paper are more squished now so might not really need it.

Flatten the TP roll, then open it back up and install on the holder. The newly oval shape will not let the TP unroll itself.

Works for paper towel rolls too.
