Roger:
This
weight thing is a give-and-take thing for me. Thanks to the numerous free
weighing stations here I can keep a close eye on how it is going. I'm working on a list of items to "lighten" to compensate, but unfortunately the cost and trouble of doing so increases gradually.
At least the
weight of this towel warmer is on the curb side, which is significantly lighter than the street side.
This unit is a Warmrails "Regent" model, which comes in a convertible soft wired or hardwired configuration. I went a bit further, hacksawed off the switch box, drilled and routed the wiring through one of the mounting brackets, etc.
When my daughter was living in Dresden her apartment had one of these things. She found it great for drying clothes as well as making nice warmed towels.
For our long road trips, I'm thinking of using the "bucket in the back of the van" as a clothes washer. There should be no problem using this rack as a clothes dryer as we drive, I believe.
