    hand towel holder and toilet paper holder

    Where is everyone mounting their hand towel holder and toilet paper holder in their 313? There just doesn't seem to be a good place for either. Thanks.

    Our rig is not a 313, but many bathrooms are the same.
    Here is what I did.

    I mounted a board for a towel rack and a hand towel rack in our 380TH.





    The toilet paper is inside on the cabinet door. (sorry, no pic)

    Since our bathrooms are different, I can't help you with the hand towel holder (there was a wall stud on the curved wall to the right of our sink that was perfect for that). However, I mounted the TP holder on the inside of the cabinet door below the sink. It's easily reached from the throne, doesn't get in the way, and the TP doesn't get wet from drips or splatter (shower and sink, any of you with minds that might go the other direction!).

    Like Rob, we hid out TP under the sink. We went with a small tension rod. We put three rolls on the rod, insert it into the cabinet make sure tension is high and slide into place. I like that it's hidden, and plentiful. It's been rare to empty all three rolls without someone replacing at least one!

    We have yet to mount the hand towel holder. We plan on adding a tile surround for the sink so until we find a tile pattern we like we deal with the hand towel on the counter.

    We are also trying to figure a spot for the ring towel holder. Does anyone recommend a certain type fastener for screwing into the existing wall material that will be secure enough to hold a hand towel. The wall material is very thin. Also, if I find a firm spot on the wall, will I be drilling into a solid wood support or an aluminum support?

    We use a free standing tp holder. I mounted hooks on side of medicine cabinet for hand towels and coat hooks behind toilet stool for bath towels

    joe--to answer your other question, the inside walls for the construction around the bathroom......the bathroom interior walls separating kitchen and bedroom........(at least on our 303) are wood 2" X 2"s. Would suggest contacting GDRV Customer Service at 574-825-9679 regarding your specific 297. You are correct that the wall panel material is thin (1/8" ?) and I would not envision a towel holder standing up after some time using only the thin wall as a mounting point.

    Rob, I started to mount the TP holder as you described but the center panel of the cabinet seems extremely thin and I didn't want to run the screws through the front, am I missing something?

    Thank you,

    I used some thin wood to shim the part over the center panel (one side is mounted on the door frame nearest the hinges). You can glue some 3/16" Luan to the center panel if you like.
