Most of the 5th wheels we have purchased come with a package of towel bars and toilet paper holders. I guess the assumption is they don't know exactly where we would like them placed. I think its more of not having any place to mount them! I don't think many people want to mount anything on 1/4" wall board. Does anybody know if the crossroads interior wall studs are wood or metal? Anybody have any suggestions on mounting the towel holder or toilet paper holder?

I don't know the answer to your question, but wanted to share my installation in my Cruiser. We Gorilla glued a nice piece of Oak board to the door of the bathroom and attached the roll paper holder to it. It worked great as we often use the pocket door for the restroom and not the bathroom door. So the installation worked well. I have not done the same with the PP yet, but just waiting for DW's approval and time to do it. I was unaware of the wall studs also, so did not want to chance it.



Good Luck with your installation.

Hung the overdoor towel bars(four bars) and put a small bungie cord on the bottom loops that stabilize the towel bar. Holds two rolls - no waiting. Just flatten the rolls before you put them on and the tp will not unroll while you are moving.

Haven't got a plan for the towel bar at the sink in the new 5er. so far, just tossing it over the shower side.

The wall studs in our Cruiser arealuminum. The wallboard will hold accessories for the bathroom (just don't hang on them or anything!). I read that small toggle bolts will work and will be secure.

I was told that the main reason they are not installed at the factory is they then would be covered by the warranty. (items that are often damaged by accident or abuse) Also, the requests for relocation of these items would make the manufacturing process impossible. TP to the right? Left? Or in front? How about tucked away in the cabinet with it peaking out the door?

that sounds like a great idea, peaking out the sink flip door.

Hi
1st time on this site. Just bought a 2009 Cruiser 29ck. There were no towel bars or toilet roll holder installed or even in a package somewhere for us to install.
Is this something that Crossroads normally supplies?
Should I be asking my salesman about this?
Seems like a small thing to worry about

Did not supply them in our 09 cruiser. Am using over the door hooks, plastic, over the shower, as our shower is in the corner of the bedroom. I have a metal over the door towel rack hanging inside the toilet room. I put a bungie on the bottom. Holds two rolls.

Hand towel rack and toilet paper brackets included but not installed - most people want to custom fit to their preferences. This eliminates holes in walls except where you want them installed.

We are putting hand towel rack on shower enclosure, right side above sink. Toilet paper behind door in our Seville.

Use double-stickum tape to test locations before drilling to install.

On my CF29CK Cruiser I bought matching wood towel bars and tp hanger. I mounted with double tape and then short screw into the panelling in the toilet room. I nobody hangs on them the will be fine. Put a robe hoop above the sink to the right for a hand towel.

I installed two towel holders and a toilet paper holder on one bathroom wall, then installed two washcloth rings on the wall to the left of the sink medicine cabinet. I didn't particularly look for studs, just placed things where the wife wanted them. They have been there for 2-1/2 years, through three 3 month winter stays in the south, so they have had plenty of use with no problems. Sometimes I think we make things more complicated than they really are??
