Anyone have any experience of using these hookless hangers, have found a company who sell them for £27.00 for 10 - or £19.95 for 6 on Ebay.  Does anyone know of anything better/cheaper?   Many thanks.  LIsa.

Just normal one's hooked one each way, with either a large draped towel over the top of them all to stop them bouncing off or a bugee cord hooked round the tops does the trick ..........

You can just carry things from the house then hook them on Laughing

Total cost .............. 0.00p

Thanks ... certainly sounds much, much better than spending £20 on hookless ones, will invest in a bungee cord instead! Bargain!

We use normal coat hangers as we remove all hanging stuff from the wardrobe when travelling.

I wouldn't waste money on special hangers, just alternate.Smile

 

The only things I personally have problems keeping on the hangers are trousers or jeans, they have a tendency to slip off.Frown

Yes but some vans are worse than others for clothes jumping off. Our last one was a Bailey, with a wardrobe against the rear wall and no shock absorbers.  Everything was in a heap at the bottom unless we used a piece of pipe insulation plus a bungee cord.  Our current Swift with shocks and a more central wardrobe doesn't need anything to hold them on the rail.

SWMBO uses non slip material wrapped round the hanging rail to stop the hangers moving, also it stops the hanger jumping off the rail

As the OP has purchased a Swift caravan, she shouldn't have any problems then!

I will look forward to trying out some hangers to see if they do fall off during our test runs before our weekend away ... fingers crossed all will be well!

Can't see the point in paying for a solution to the problem. A little ingenuity is all that is needed, not money!

Happy caravanning!
