The video below presents a super-handy RV gadget from Two Traveling Teachers, a ladder-mounted RV clothes drying rack featuring 180-degree swivel arms that hold lots of wet clothing—whether it’s freshly washed laundry or the family’s swimsuits and towels after swimming.
The Safoner RV clothes drying rack provides a compact and efficient way to dry clothes, wherever you set up camp. It easily mounts to your RV’s ladder.
Watch the video to see what’s involved and how easy it is to mount.
The swiveling arms provide lots of drying space and include holes for hangers so that clothing stays secure even on windy days. When it’s time to travel, it all folds flat against the RV. A bungee keeps the rotating arms firmly attached to the ladder when not in use, ensuring safety and convenience while camping and on the road.
Order the Safoner RV clothes drying rack from Amazon.

Some RV parks or campgrounds prohibit clothes lines, but some prohibit drying clothes outside the RV or tent – period. Okay, I get the safety hazard of lines across a site. Maybe some people don’t want to see my drying undies. But especially at sites with access to swimming most folks will want to let swimwear drip-dry outside the RV. There isn’t enough airflow to fully dry quickly enough inside our shower. And my wife has multiple tops that specifically are not dryer safe. They aren’t dripping, but they do add unwanted moisture inside the RV with plastic clothes hangers hooked over cabinet knobs.
But rules is rules. Check them before using any sort of exterior drying rack.
Place a curtain rod in your shower overhead, hang stuff, run a small fan to circulate air. Works for me.
The drying rack is a great idea, but it looks like it will only attach to ladders made with with smaller round tubes. Our 5er ladder has wide upright poles, so it wouldn’t work. Maybe there’s a separate attachment for those kind of ladders.
Figured out how to Edit the above.
All good until some busybody comes and says you can’t hang clothes in this campground. More than once I had to hang wet clothes in the RV. One particular campground owned the local laundromat and you had to use it. Located 3 very long blocks from our site.
Thank you, Cheri, for the summary and suggestions. Have a great day and safe travels!
Installed ladder clothes drying rack yesterday. Exact same one in photo. Extremely sturdy. Powder coated aluminum. Well designed and made.
Now for real dry towels after a shower.
We do not dry most of our clothes. We stayed at a campground that did not allow outside clothes lines etc. Since we have a toy hauler with a back porch, I set up my stand alone clothes rack on the porch for them to dry. No complaints were voiced maybe because it was not readily visible to the entire CG? We also use the garage to hang them to dry if necessary.
