Does anyone know where I can get an expanding coat hook to hook over my awning pole to hang coats off?  My caravanning friend had one given to her but I can not obtain one from anywhere.  Hers is plastic and folds concertina style with a hook shape either end for putting over a pole.

Many thanks

Hi andrea Welcome to UKCs

Ive had a root around many sites and cant find what you are describing.

Perhaps if you look through some of the online stores in here you may find what you are looking for.

However Im sure someone wiser than me will be along to guide you in right direction

Andrea, when we use our van we have a free standing coat stand from Ikea, you can also get these from poundstretchers etc, only one thing to bear in mind, if you use a free standing coat stand, you can put all the coats on (theres five of us) whereas if you use the coat hook method, you are limited to the weight which will be imposed upon the awning roof pole, as this could cause the pole to bend and your awning roof to sag,

best regards, Martin 

I picked up a chrome one in a Wilkinsons store for about £4

Hi Andrea, Don't know if you have got your coathanging problem sorted yet, but we use fairly heavy duty suction hook's on the side of the van. We've just been away for 3 week's & hooks held various wet weathergear fleeces & jumper's, without falling off the van wall. I got mine from Aldi/Lidl for 99p each though have seen them elsewhere these hooks are not " mickymouse rubbish" they are a serious bit of kit !!, hope this help's?.

Loopy has one of these, it's brill but your caravan surface has to be smooth not dimpled like ours

Our local caravan dealer sells these coat hooks, also Towsure I think.
