We need a place to hang our bath towels! Please share how you have installed towel rods in the bathroom that are securely fastened. We have the 5th wheel deluxe.

Towel Rods in Bathroom?
We have 5th wheel also and have some chrome self-adhesive towel rods on order from Walmart - will post some pics when they arrive and are installed. Not easy to find rods that are self-adhesive and don't require screws.

Pros: cheap, no screws, easy to install, adhesive seems to be strong when cured for 24 hours per directions
Cons: only 9" wide, so towels have to be folded to hang

I really like to use Robe Hooks to hang my towels on. They can be placed side by side in less space than a towel rack and they can be placed on narrow walls where a towel rack would be impractical.
3M's Command line of products have Robe hooks (and Large Hooks) that can easily hold your towels.
Here is a nice example of a metal hook:

As Always,
Happy Scamping !!!
On my 1993 Scamp 13 Wood Deluxe, I went to HomeDepot and bought square towel racks and mounted them (2) on the bathroom wall - no shower, just front toilet.
I added wood blocks to hold the screws & nuts & washers to the wooden wall inside the clothes closet to right of bathroom.
On my 2005 Scamp 16 Wood Deluxe, I added a wooden storage closet on left side of trailer with a window which Scamp designed in when we bought the trailer in 2005. The one side of trailer has a 4.6 cuft refrig, a pantry closet, and storage closet, and in front, the bathroom with a shower. I added wooden blocks to straighten the wall between pantry and storage closet to attach 3 towel racks inside storage closet. I also added a 5-hook board with a mounting board attached to wall between the storage closet and the bathroom wall up front. This holds up laundry bags and shower bags. The storage closet also has a clothes rack across the entire width for clothes hangers and rv-rack-style holder - individual hanger holders.
These methods have worked very well.
This can be adapted to the fiberglass models.
Hope this helps others.
Thanks to those who have responded thus far. Anyone else have ideas?

Towel rods = towel bars
Here's a link to SOI Summer 2013 and what we did for towel racks, among other things.

Just went to Bed Bath and Beyond and got real nice looking towel bars, installed them on the inside of the bathroom door, worked out great. Pictures listed on this forum.

I have actually been very pleased with a metal over-the-door rack with 6 double hooks I found at Walmart. It gives me 12 hooks if I want and the ability to have it on the inside or outside of the bathroom door depending on space requirements at the time. Not a towel "bar" per say, but spreading your towel across 2 hooks will dry it in the same manner.

I also found at Camping World, a mesh 6 bag holder that connects to the shower hooks. Holds shampoo, liquid soap, and other much needed items. Works great for the Scamp for bath/shower needs.
