Motorhome sledding (drying clothes)

[MikeMetzger]

SO I am looking to use our motorhome this season for sledding. I am wondering about the creative ways people have used to dry their gear. I dont have an enclosed trailer so I was thinking about using an enclosed tent, then diverting the hot air from the fan on the genset to blow into the tent and dry our stuff. THoughts, Ideas?

No dryer in your motorhome? You can buy one.

in my camper the bathroom is always alot warmer when the heater is on, so i just hang wet clothes on the shower curtain rod. also the plus side is anything that drips off just goes down the drain.

That's exactly what we do!!!!!

I'd like to try and keep people who are wearing wet 2stroke smelling gear out of the motorhome entirely. Although I guess I could have a tent at the entrance and have people dress down there before hanging our gear in the bathroom.

This winter we are going to try a new system out and try using the heater in the enclosed trailer to dry out gear and keep it out of the pusher. Not sure on the overall use of the heater to dry items out in the trailer, but it's got to keep the smell down in the pusher. We are going to attempt to put up a barrier that is about 8-10' back in the trailer and run the heater in there to dry clothes. Guess we'll see how it works in the next couple of weeks.

Last winter we would put clothes on several bars across the bathroom shower with a portable heater blowing in there with the vent open while the jennie is running does a pretty decent job actually. Otherwise it's stink city in the motorhome.

Let us know what you do, always looking for more/better ideas.

WAI

Gas (propane) fired dryers only require 110V for the motor and blower.
If you have the space for the monster.

We do the motorhome sledding/camping thing from time to time... we run the generator for a few hours in the evening to charge batteries, cook food and watch movies. We also run a small electric heater in the bathroom/shower area to dry cloths with the top vent open. We close the door in that area because we don't want the heat to affect the propane system and running the regular heaters to keep the storage compartments warm (water). Never really had much issue with the 2 stroke smell from the cloths, I do put the boots on boot dryers in one of the large compartments under the motorhome so the smell stays outside the coach.

Have fun... motorhome sledding is a lot of fun!
