Waterproof Toilet Paper Holder

[Eddie Longest]

I could not bring myself to spend $30 for a waterproof TPH at West Marine. I found one on Amazon for around $17. and it is suction cup mounted. So far so good and it fits under the sink. It also has a place to store you cell phone or keys (checkout the pics) . The suction cup uses a screw to pull the cup back to get a heavy duty seal. I will let you know how it does after a camping trip.

This is my waterproof TP holder. It sits on the floor under the sink within easy reach and has never leaked. Since I rescued it from the recycle bin, it didn't cost me a penny.

That's why Larry (Little House Customs) and I gave up on a TP holder design. We could beat West Marine pricing, but not this one....

That wall mount one looks great and convenient, If you like it after a while you could mount it permanently. Assuming the suction cup doesn't hold all the time....

We have a diaper wipes container for a waterproof TP dispenser.
Remove the core from the TP and dispense it from the center through the top, then snap it closed. Works great.

Oh great! 3 good ideas for TP holders and all of them good .

I can see the need for the cell phone holder in the first one,but I beleave the blue one could also hold the cell phone. of course the suction cup mounted one has advantage of being there and ready. Then there is the white one,white just goes with everything,but no place for the cell phone.

I can see I will have to think on this Mod some more.

needless to say I like all 3 ideas,so thanks guys for sharing

Happy Camping

I use a ziplock bag and tuck a small bottle of the toilet additive down the center of the toilet paper tube. Absolutely waterproof and easy to put away when not needed. Total cost? 0

We do the same thing!

We carry zip locks as part of our gear. I prefer the real "Glad" version but of course they all work. Sad to say, I do drink coffee otherwise I would have lots of nice containers.

These are two ways you can store the toilet paper. A coffee can as mentioned earlier and an empty CD spindle.

Why would you need to store your cell phone or keys in a toilet paper holder? Fear of seperation anxity?

My only thought on that would be that if someone were expecting an important phone call AND they wanted to shower, it might be easier to hear the ring if the phone were inside the bathroom? I can do without my phone for however long it takes to shower but each to their own.

If that is the case, why would someone need to put the phone inside a waterproof container......unless they had very messy bathroom habits! And the reason we have waterproof TP holders is to keep the TP dry when we shower.
No need to keep dry your phone,
When you are simply on the throne.

Sorry, couldn't resist the rhyme.

I think it's a great idea to have a cell phone holder on top. It's not inside or sealed. If you look at the pictures there's a tray on top. My family always brought me blue cell phones because they carried the cell in their back pocket. When they went to the restroom the phone always managed to hit the lid and bounce into the blue water in the toilet. I guess you could call it blue toilet and not blue tooth.

After 1800 miles on the trailer after installing it I thought I would let you know what I found out using the holder.
I was impressed with the suction cup, the holder never came unmounted, 300 miles was over fairly rough roads and I had expected it to come off the wall. The suction cup has a screw device to ensure you really get a good seal to the wall.
The holder will only hold a standard size roll of TP. (Not a Jumbo) The indentions on the inside where the spring rod goes are shallow but it did hold the roll in place.
The holder is a top feeder and dispenses the paper with little pressure and if a little end of paper is sticking out the holder there is no need to lift the lid to dispense the paper.
I did not shower in the trailer but I did spray shower water around and over the holder, the paper on the roll stayed dry, only the little piece of paper hanging out the dispenser got wet.
Now for the cell phone holder, water collects in the holder on top as it would in a soap dish. When the top is lifted the water runs off the back and did not appear to get the roll of paper wet.
I would give it a 7 out of 10. Stays stuck to the wall, feeds paper easily and keeps the paper dry. Loading the roll and getting the spring rod into the indentions can be a bit of a challenge. Not a heavy duty product but it got the job done.

after reading all the comments here on how to keep the TP dry I have to ask. Would it not be easier just to remove the roll of tp from its holder and put it outside the bathroom while shower and then return it to the holder after... what does that taken the way of time? 5 seconds each way?

[Borrego Dave]

My exact thoughts Carol, haven't had one wet roll yet

[SilverGhost]

The 5 seconds is not a problem. It's remembering to put it back after, or being the next one with an urgent potty call while the TP is sitting out of arms reach.

I think I might just use the top for a soap dish. Ironically that's the only bathroom I don't use the "smart" phone or pad while doing my business.
