Toilet paper location question (2860DS)

We just got a new 2860DS, coming from a 34' 5th wheel. The bathroom is the new 2860 is much smaller than our old 5th wheel. For others that have a 2860, where do you mount your toilet paper holder? Just looking for some ideas.

Love this Motorhome!

Thanks,
Marc

I thought about the shower door...but I've always been afraid to permanently affix it anywhere so I just keep it on the raised floor area behind & beside the toilet.

Just used double sided tape on mine. Have moved it once to its present location in the pictures.

Yea, that won't work on the 2860, the bathroom (toilet and sink) are opposite the hall from the shower!

I have the 2860 and have not mounted it. Just put a roll on the end of the counter top. If you figure it out, let me know.

Teaman here

Have a Sunseeker 2300. Very small tight bathroom and no place for toilet paper holder to hang without impacting legs or body. Found a simple solution by putting two small cup holder hooks into the wall, one near the shower door and the other near the bathroom door. Screwed these in about knee high. Took a hank of paracord and put a small non-slip loop on each end to slip over the cup hooks. Then lift loop off hook and slip toilet paper roll onto paracord and center down in front of knees. Perfect height and easy to reach. Can install two rolls if desired. And its all soft with no hard objects to slam your legs into.

Use a vertical standing paper towel holder. Sits on floor next to toilet. Put in cabinet when traveling. Holds two rolls ( in case of emergency ). Wife's idea & I liked it.

I have a Sunseeker 25TS likewise small bathroom. In Home Depot I bought one that stands on the floor. It has place for paper dispenser and for extra paper storage. When sitting on the toilet the dispenser part does tend to lean against you leg, but it is not so bad.

From the position of sitting on the stool, we put the TP holder above the left shoulder. Easy to reach on the throne, yet out of the way when getting up.

Our sink cabinet is close enough to the toilet so I hung my toilet paper inside the cabinet door.

My DW picked this verticle solution last year. Ours seems to be weighted enough to have survived all the travels between campgrounds without tipping over. Benefit is that user decides location, eliminating personal mobility issues.

X2. Works fine. Also I partially flatten the TP roll before installing- avoids having it unroll while traveling.
