Question Where to hang bath towels in 31UL?

So where do you all hang your wet bath towels? I hate having them hang over the shower door, thus hanging into the hall. This past weekend I put up a couple of command hangers inside the shower stall. Hung them on the plastic shower enclosure and thought "aha" I have solved my problem. Nope...next morning the stall was actually pulling away from the backboard. Guess the weight of the wet towels is too much. Am I safe to put the command strips and hangers above the plastic stall? Will that work or what do you all do? Thanks!!

Love the new Precept, but it is back in the shop after only two trips. Hoping repairs are quick and painless (kitchen slide not going in flush on one corner, awning came out of the track and is hanging down on one end, jack light staying on even though jacks are all up, and more more more).

We put the large/heavy duty command hangers right on the bathroom door. So far, so good.

My shower sits in the corner and I bought a shower rod and cut it to size. I installed the shower rod ends (like in your home) and it works perfect. It hangs the towels in the shower stall itself so it drips into the shower pan. The only downfall is if there's a wet towel in there already, you have to sit it somewhere until you get out of the shower. We tried an adjustable tension rod but it didn't have enough 'mmmfffff' to hold wet towels. So far, the shower rod idea is working pretty well.

We have 2 towel hangers that came standard on the bathroom wall which we use. Also, the standard towel rod in the show is there for that reason. Do you not have either these?

In addition, we bought a 3 rod over-the-door hanger and have it on the bathroom door. The towels sit on this so when showering, the towel is right outside the shower stall door and when wet, they hang on this with the door back in the closed position.

We bought a folding towel rack at IKEA that folds flat against the wall when not in use. Unfortunately it does not appear on there web page any more.

We had the same problem with the jack lights and found that they did not put enough Hydraulic fluid in the reservoir. Add a few ounces at a time with the jacks retracted not when down.

We have two towel hangers near the sink inside the bathroom...using one for hand towel for drying hands. Other is located only about one foot above the hand towel ring and is useless. We do not have a towel rod inside the shower, unless you count what is on the door that will only hold a washcloth.

Our bathroom door seems to have no clearance at the top to accommodate an over the door hanger.

We have a single towel hook on the wall across the aisle from the shower door, and a gang towel hanger on the door to the water closet right next to that single hook. Multiple towels inside the water closet door. Seems to work well. BTW, none of these came from the factory like that.

We also use the towel rack from Ikea. I see it on the US and Canadian Ikea websites. It's called GRUNDTAL (US price is $14.99).

We found a small plastic over-the-door hangar for our towels that fits the narrow clearance at the top.

We just put an over-door rack over the bathroom door and the hooks extend down in the bathroom. Perfect

This fix worked for us

We experienced the same issue. Drove my wife crazy. But, by chance and good luck, we found an "over the door" hanging rack at Bed, Bath and Beyond. If this solution works for you, here's the good news; It's less than $10.00, has three towel bars and hangs away from the door allowing thorough drying. We just keep the window open in the bathroom and never had a drying issue by the next use.

We use some high humidity command strips to hang them inside and have a bumper mounted cloths hanger to hang them outside.

Neither solution requires hydraulic fluid

We had same issue with 31UL. We found a great "over the door" 3 rack hanging system at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Holds towels away from door and dries them well. The best part is, it was less than $10.00. My wife is a happy camper. No pun intended!
