When driving down road and hit a dip on rd truck rear goes down and rear of trailer goes up throwing all hung clothes (where clothes closet is located) on to floor of closet
Any ideas on how to stop this, I'm not a fast driver and everything else in trailer stays in place It

I just use one of the expanding rods like you use in cabinets to keep the contents from falling out along the top of the hangers. That prevents the hangers from coming up off the rod and falling off.

Cheap and easy method: slit a foam swimming noodle open, jam it over the top of the hangers and rod. Might need to cut a bit more out of the inner area, depending on your hanger rod's diameter.

Those swimming noodles are in use all over our TT.

A clothespin clipped onto the end of the hanger hook will stop it coming off the rod.

I'm using regular wire hangers, it's not the coats , shirts etc falling off hangers it's the hangers , clothes together launching off rod,,, must be some way to hold hangers onto bar like another removable bar on top of existing rod ,clamping down hangers

We have a large closet in the same area and can't say anything has fallen off. What kind of hangars are you using? I hang my husbands pants over the padded hangars we get from dry cleaning, and our shirts and blouses hang on the plastic hangers we get fron the store. I button the top button on DH shirts too. You can get felt lined hangers cheap and they definitely work, but they are very annoying for everyday use. I would imagine wooden clothes pins would work, clipped on the shoulder area. I must say our closet is so jammed I doubt anything can fall off!

Our hanging closet is so small that our clothing is jammed in there like sardines -- no risk of anything moving without a lot of effort on our part! So that is an option -- overfill the little closet?

We bought some Stay Put hangers from Camping World. They snap onto the rod and stay there during travel. Zip up or button the clothes all the way to top when you are on the road. We have used these hangers for three seasons now and have had absolutely no problem with clothes on the floor of the closet like we did without them.
