ONE CLEVER CLOTHESLINE !

We have probably all met a caravanner who has rigged up their own awning clothesline . In fact , you might ’ ve rigged your own as well . But what if I told you there is a portable , lightweight and rather clever clothesline system designed to be attached to most roll-out awnings available ? It requires no screws and no drilling into the roll-out awning tube , and it ’ ll easily accommodate four large bedsheets , depending on the size of your awning . I ’ m talking about the All-In-One RV Clothesline by Queensland-based company ReverseMate , the company behind the ReverseMate caravan reversing aid .

I had the opportunity to try this clothesline during a quick trip away with a Goldstream . Here ’ s what I thought …

SETTING IT UP

The kit includes two brackets that are shaped to grip the circular awning barrel , 15m of clothesline wire , four hand knobs and two tensioners ( one is a spare ). With the awning rolled out to your preferred pitch , the first thing you need to do is decide whether you want to set-up the clothesline on the outside of the awning , or underneath . The fact the All-In- One RV Clothesline can be set-up under the awning is a brilliant feature , and it ’ s just as easy to do it this way as it is to set it up outside of the awning . More on that later .
