We have a towel rack that fits over the shower door. It has hooks on it and can accommodate 3 large bath towels. Wash cloths just get hung over the shower walls. After a shower in the morning they dry out over the course of the day and night. If you're boondocking tie a rope between a couple of trees and voila, mother nature dries your towels for you.

We have a retractable clothesline like a hotel room. I find it is a lot less intrusive than it could be.

Ditto. Makes drying bathing suits a breeze. Drip dry.

There are many times during long rain storms where the only place to dry out the towels is inside. I find the A/C works well.

I installed an over the door rack on the bathroom door for the shower towels. I use bungy cords stretched across the open bunks (outside and underneath) to hang the beach bathing suits and towels. Keeps the gritty salt and sand towels outside. And, under the bunks still allows them to dry even when it's raining.

Drying bath towels inside

We find this real useful. Minky Retractable Reel Clothesline. See photos. Amazon $29.99. Works nights, days, weekends. Sitting still or on the road. As you see, it is mounted at the end of the wardrobe and 2 cup hooks are placed at convenient locations. We generally leave it strung from wardrobe to slideout and getting out of bed it is not a bother with 2 towels on the line. I can double the line length going from this hook to another hook over bathroom door, or triple it's length by triangulating it around the BR back to itself. We like it a lot.
Travel safe

+1 on this suggestion. Installed in my garage, its been one of my most useful mods. Putting the garage fan on also helps move the air and assit with drying.

*the dryer*

Here in the Pacific North 'Wet' we often need to dry jackets & towels when we are out in our RV.

Having a dog that loves to swim even adds more towels to the drying rack.

It may not be for everyone), but it works well for us...

Our method, is like others have done, place a (extendable) shower rod or clothes rod across the top of the shower stall walls, if it's a tub.. mount it inside high up end-to-end.

Using hangers for jackets and towels hung on the rod.... then place a electric heater below the items to be hung (see picture for type of heater).

We take caution with this method by adding clothes-pegs for security.

Leave the shower door ajar for good circulation and the nearest roof vent half open for moist air evacuation...if the vent has a fan - all the better- to help evacuate the moisture.
The heater rapidly helps the drying time and it is the 'type' of heater that works the best (see picture) as the heat comes out the sides/top.

We have used this method and same heater in other RV's as I have described and have not had any problem with foggy windows or moisture/condensation even with our single pain windows.

hope this helps
