Receiver hitch clothesline

Can anyone steer me in the right direction, I am looking for a 2 inch receiver hitch mounted clothesline.
Thank you.
  • I purchased about $16.00 worth of 1" PVC schedule 40 pipe (and fittings) from Lowe's and made my own that hangs off the rear ladder. There are all kinds of examples on the internet.

    Instead of gluing everything together I connected it with 3/4" stainless screws. I can take it off the ladder and fold it flat in a matter of seconds.

    I was doing some thinking about my bicycle rack line

    Take a 2x2q (well you might need to go a bit larger)

    Cut a short piece to fit the receiver

    Bolt on a longer piece to bring it up to working level


    Make your line rtangular out of PVC as I described with a center cross member (3 "Sides" and th center cross member has a "Receiver" to fit atop the upright (This would be made out of wood or PVC) very easy to build, To store lift off, Remove wood and go.

    I will try to take a photo of my Bike rack unit for you but alas not installed. (it is in storage mode.

    Interesting picture that's painted when you use the TV to go to town. :E

    We find this trailer bumper mounted clothesline works quite well. :B

  • Thanks, I might be looking into fabricating my own. Although I am shocked that NO ONE has made this product.
  • OR.. simply run 59 cents worth of clothesline from your point A to your point B. No need to involve the vegetation. I guarantee you that there are more than 100 points you could accomplish this with. The KISS method works!

    Question: Do you have a bicycle (or want one?)?

    I have a Draw Tite bicycle carrier,, I will try to find one like it so you can see what it looks like

    I took 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 PVC pipe and T's and Elbows and made a retangle
    Example

    Look at the top part where the bicycles attach, Find somethinglike that

    Lay two PVC in the first and last holders and lock down Put "T" fittings on the end

    Then join the two T's so it forms a rectangle

    now extend the sides frowared and back and put elbows on them. Two more cross members

    String lines side to side (drill the side pieces)

    WOrks very well.
  • Or, If you can't find what you like, maybe fabricate one using THIS

    Should be pretty simple.
