Trailer: 1999 Burro 17 ft Widebody
Posts: 24
HI All,
My wife and I excited about getting out for our first overnighter in our Burro next weekend!
While I was prepping the trailer, I noticed that there was no toilet paper holder in the combo toilet-shower. Not that we're planning on using the shower, but it got me thinking.

I'd appreciate any advice, tips, hints. etc. on how to mount and store a toilet paper roll in a combo toilet shower. I'm thinking suction cups or something. I found a marine toilet paper roll holder at Boater's World, but $23 for a plastic box with an overbite seems really steep.

You're advice has been really, really helpful, and I hope to share some ideas to add to the mix some time soon!

Steve

I found a plastic tobbaco can works good.It can remain water proof when showering.

Steve,
We got one from West Marine for $25.00. Riveted it on to the wall opposite from the john. Works great. Tip up lid provides access, when down, the roll is totally out of any water source. Don

We attached the toilet paper roll holder to the wall... The shower curtain keeps it dry.

We also keep a spare roll in a CD plastic case - fits perfect.

Someone on the prehacked forum suggested using a TALL Recordable CD Pack holder...one of those holders that you purchase with 100+ blank CDs. If you don't burn your own CDs...check with your friends and neighbors!

If you have your TP on a typical roller gizmo, be sure to squeeze the Charmin before you put it on the roll -- An oval carboard tube won't unroll as easily whilst bumping down the road as a perfectly round one will.

On my 17' Boler the holder is a cheap household one and is mounted on the door and when showering is covered by the shower curtain....Benny

Like Benny, I have mine on the door. I have a small bungie around the holder. When I'm stopped I push it toward the door allowing the roll to move freely. When traveling, I pull it toward the roll and it keeps it from unrolling. A rather nifty and easy mod if I do say so myself.

Since I have a portapotti, I keep my TP in a medium-sized coffee can so I can also carry it in the rain or whatever to the CG potties.
