Those of you with rear kitchen 5th wheel RVs know just how hazardous a bumpy road can be to the stuff in your cupboards. The rear section of an RV is the most vulnerable to the rock-n-roll of the RV road. Last week after we pulled into camp Mrs. Professor opened the rear clothes closet to discover the wooden clothes hanger bar had fallen down along with all the clothing. On closer inspection I found that the plastic retainer screw was yanked out of the wall.
It is amazing to me that one little screw was holding up that bar of clothing. I busted out the cordless electric drill (a tool every RVer should have) and promptly reattached the retainer with not one but four new screws. I didn't drill a hole, just powered the screws through the existing plastic plate. I did the same with the opposite side retainer which already had two screws.
Now all is well in closetland. Not only are we raising the bar at RV Now, we're actually putting it back in place - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

Shoot, I thought you'd talk about plumbing leaks. I'll take a bunch of clothes on the floor of a closet any day over dripping water on a basement floor.
(In fact, I discovered a leak just today.)
