Need holddown idea for stuff on shower ledges

I'm looking for ideas on some sort of fence to hold shampoo etc in the locations shown on the photo below. The shower is tight and we do NOT want to put soap dispensers or other objects anywhere else on the shower walls. We want to put the bottles as shown, and have them stay during travel. I'd rather use something that can be attached without screws, although I could use screws if it is the best answer, and just make sure they are caulked well.

Also, I realize we can carry them on the floor of the shower. I'm looking for a neat idea to keep them in place.

Currently RV-less but not done yet.

Our Winnie has the strap too 🙂 But I also added a 3M Command caddy in the shower stall.
Like this: 3m Caddy

It doesn't have drain holes, but they'd be easy enough to drill a few. I put ours really high and out of the way for less frequently used things, so ours doesn't really get wet and have the need for drainage.
Cheers!

Just another example that Winnebago gets it.

Maybe a Winnebago thing. Our Winn is the same. Works!

Our Itasca has the same. I hung a small plastic basket, with tie wraps, from that retaining bar, to hold our bars of soap.

DW is in charge of this and she keeps them in a cabinet out of sight out of mind.

We use cloth type storage cubes in the cabinets in the bathroom while traveling. We have several of them and they all stay put there. When we get to a destination, we just pull it out the first time taking a shower and put it away after the last shower before departing. No extra significant time.

If we had everything sitting where we are using it, then it would be a cluttered mess.

SkipNChar, I'm trying to eliminate a lot of the 10 second tasks, to make it easier to use the MH without a toad. When it comes time to run an errand with the MH: It only takes 10 seconds to put the shampoo and soap away, 10 more to put the wastebasket away, put the salt & pepper away, put this away, that away, you get the idea. Pretty soon it adds up to 10 minutes. The more things that can travel and also be used in their designated place, the better.


Bravo! Well stated. I don't think a lot of people with big RV's or towables / toads understand this idea.

BTW, my stuff lives in the too-small BR sink, since I've got a wet bath with pebbled walls that nothing will stick to. I just set what needs to stay dry out on the stove cover while I shower.

If you Google "Shower caddies" you'll come across some with large suction cups that will stick to the shower sides. We've been using one for years and the only time it comes off is when we clean.

I bought some of the suction cup racks for another purpose. I tried them on the shower too but the surface is grainy/pebbled, and they won't even grab.

I found a clear corner shaped plastic storage bin that had a suction cup. Works great. Walmart. Bed Bath and Beyond also has them. Measure since they might be too large for your shelf.

Go to a dollar type store and get some small suction cups. Put several on each side of each shelf. Use some string between the suction cups and fence them critters in.

Wal Mart has small baskets with 90' corner at back and a circular front, that fit in the corner, They have suction cups that stick to the sidewalls to hold them in place. Baskets are about 4" high and self draining.

Try lowes or home depot plumbing department and they have over the shower arm racks that stick out about 4 inches and has 3 rectangular
baskets. I just put one in my Leisure Travel Unity CB which has a very small shower. It does not get in my way as you must stand away from the shower head when taking a shower anyway.
