Making your RV closet usable
I really like my Keystone Montana fifth wheel, I actually do. General, we’ve had only a few complaints. However for the love of ANYTHING Holy, Why In The Hell Can’t I Match A Normal Hanger In The Closets?! This drawback is not only a Keystone concern. We’ve heard a number of mates with the identical criticism. If I needed to guess, the genius engineer who designed this has by no means needed to put any respectable quantity of garments of their camper… However whoever it was, and no matter drove the choice, it doesn’t matter – as a result of it’s simply OUR concern to cope with now.
So how can we cope with it? What are our choices? If we use a normal hanger, even those which might be specifically designed for within the camper that grip the bar, they don’t sit straight. They sit on such an angle that it renders at the very least half of the closet area ineffective. When you angle the hanger up, your garments fall of the hanger. If we simply fold all of our garments and stack them up, guess what… they fall over!
I attempted utilizing youngsters’s hangers. That works for pants and skirts. Nevertheless it nonetheless didn’t work for any of our shirts. The width of the hanger is just too near the scale of the neck gap to carry the shirts on. Heaven forbid you may have a V-Neck shirt. Plus they’re often made from the identical plastic as a daily hanger and since they’re so shut the the neck gap measurement, they only slide off with the smallest quantity of motion inside the closet – even simply sliding the garments forwards and backwards to seek out the shirt you’re on the lookout for.
Then I discovered them! Junior sized hangers. A typical hanger is 16 inches. The youngsters’s hangers are 11 inches. The junior hangers are 14. The depth of the closet – 15 inches! ZOBER Premium Non-Slip Junior Hangers! I discovered them on Amazon right here.
I’ll admit, I used to be just a little nervous once I first discovered them. I wasn’t certain if they might work or not, so I solely purchased one field. 50 hangers within the field. I don’t suppose I used to be ever so blissful to see hangers arrive. I ran to the bed room whereas ripping open the field and yanked an entire closet full of garments out and threw them on the mattress. The hangers are velvet, so it does take a minute to get the garments onto the hanger. They don’t slide on as rapidly as they might with a plastic or metallic hanger, however THEY WORK!!
The hangers are vast sufficient to suitably maintain an grownup prime. They don’t fairly go shoulder to shoulder, however I knew they weren’t going to once I ordered them. As I stated, the hangers are 2 inches smaller than a normal hanger. However with the velvet texture we’ve not had a single concern with the garments falling off. It doesn’t matter what materials we’re hanging.
I waited just a little bit earlier than writing this text as a result of I needed to provide them an trustworthy evaluation after we had accomplished some touring. How have been they going to do whereas the fifth wheel was bouncing down the freeway? We took a visit out to South Dakota from New Jersey just a few weeks in the past. A 1700 mile drive looks as if a very good trial. Nicely – they did EXCELLENT!! Even the hangers that had fallen off of the bar and have been now laying within the backside of the closet have been nonetheless on the hangers!
Now if we weren’t Full Timer’s 50 hangers most likely would have sufficed, however we’re Full Timers, so I wanted to order 3 extra containers. Future article concerning the fact on downsizing….
If I needed to give one criticism about our new hangers it could be that they don’t have the particular camper design that grips the grasp bar. General, we’re each extremely proud of the acquisition. We each really feel higher when issues are organized effectively. Dwelling in a fifth wheel has had a number of challenges when making an attempt to prepare our area virtually. So the invention of these hangers has made the easy activity of getting dressed within the morning far more pleasant.
