camping clothesline type?

[jagfromaus]

Whats everyone using when doing a week stay to air and dry their washing out? Looked at those mini rotary clothesline things and they appear to be flimsy and bulky crap? What about the plat pack airer type ones that lever out both sides? At least i could fit towels on them type but again quite bulky grrrrrr

Wife likes her http://ezyline.com.au/  Otherwise just a few pegs on the awning ropes.  Neither take up any space

I'm another for rope, takes up bugger all space and you have have it strung any way you want.

We use one like this http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_ltw-28-rail-stainless-steel-clothes-airer_P4510224.aspx its light and folds flat.

For longer trips we use the white plastic clothes airer that folds flat think it was about $6 and sits flat on top of the other things in trailer

We just usually string a rope between a couple of the CT's or just put up another pole off one of the corners of the awning.

If you are staying somewhere for a week, use the awning ropes ... except for your smalls, which you can hang on some laundry type rope inside. 

x 4 for rope.  It folds up small, it's light weight, has a dual purpose, is cheap.

Sadly I have to admit, we use one of the camping ones you buy from the camping shops that looks like a mini hills hoist. 

Yeah I know, but we have 2 kids who love getting dirty and those lines are quick convenient and you can't believe how much you can fit on them.

We have ours so the outside hangs low ( sort of upside down if you like) we find it doesn't blow over this way.

Yes they are moderately flimsy, but our last one lasted over 3 years of pretty constant use.
Just replaced it last christmas - $50 at BBQ's galore.

Hi, I actually bought one of those flat pack airer types that fold out, for this 6 month trip, only thing the only place the fold out bits had to rest against was the end of our kitchen on our AORC camper.....and it was a pain to pack....it got left at home for the housesitters....rope always works.....the mini hills hoist would take up too much room for us I think.  Kris

We have one too. Have had it for 3 years now without problems and we use it at home as an airer too. Great tip about putting it upside down!

Hi,
  get some light rope twice as long as you need, put it up double, but put plenty of twists in it before you tie it off.
Now you can peg stuff up with out using pegs!


cheers

Hi,

I string some 5mm cord between the roof stays under my Cub Escape Annex, It gives me approx 6Mtr of under cover clothes line.

We are with King Billy. Easy line. My wife got given ours for free at the local fair. Works a treat between the awning poles. I wouldn't hang a large coat off it. I will give the large coat a try on the long weekend coming up and report back.

Cheers

The other thing we have is a couple of the plastic hangers that have the pegs attached they hook over awning spreaders and can fit a fair bit on them. Always have a bag with pegs to hang stuff on awning ropes also

For towels etc, we drape them over the bullbar / UHF aerial (ours is the solid fibreglass type). Smaller items get pegged to the cargo barrier. If we really need to, we string up some rope, which we always keep in the 4WD along with some clothes pegs.

We also have one of those collapsable "Hills Hoist" things but we've only taken it away once. It works well enough, however we find it a bit bulky and it needs pegging down or the wind tips it over, so it stays at home where it actually gets used all the time.

[MarDon]

Generally rope for us, sometimes things even just get thrown over the nearest branch.

Liking both the 'twisted rope' idea and also the cargo net. Might try that next time.

X 3. Easy to string up a line and they don't blow over.

Hoist type from K Mart. I think about $20. Forget about the strap it comes with to peg it to the ground, (who on earth designs these things) and put a tent peg over each of the three legs. Never had an issue with it blowing over since. Holds tonnes of washing including towels... buy some fibrelight  travel towels from Anaconda, these come in three sizes from memory, dry really quickly and take up hardly any room packing wise.
