We have got a travel rotary airer with legs,is perfect for hanging coats.We just take a supply of coat hangers and hang them all up.Doesn't take up much space at all and can also be used to dry things when the weather is better. It has 4 plastic poles coming from a central hub rather than wires so is very sturdy.
If we were to hang 3 wet winter coats from out Porchlite there would be rather an untidy heap of coats and awning on the floor in the morning me thinks.

We use one of these, this ones from Betterware for £19.99 but we paid £12 from Boundary mill for ours, it breaks up into 2 pieces which both fold up and fit into a small bag, it's lightweight poles too, we use it for the dog leads too.
Hope this link works. We have 2 of these, supposedly 1 for the coats and 1 for the towels but we could do really do with a couple more. I think they are great for storing coats out of the way in the awning but we never go away in the winter lol

Suction hooks-stick 'em anywhere on the outside of the 'van as long as it's smooth and not wet 'cos they just slide down the 'van then!! Don't overload them either.We also use one of those freestanding tripod shaped thingy's but I think that would be too big.

We have the same as ashwellgirl. They are great for all sorts of things - coats, hats, dog leads, towels, in fact anything you don't want to hang in the van.

They are, but there's nowhere to hang them in a lightweight awning.
I used to have butchers hooks all over the place in the Combi Camp awning, to keep everything off the ground - but there's no strong horizontal poles in a lightweight awning to hang them from.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
Spotted a small rotary clothes line at the weekend at Davan Caravans that may fit the bill as it can be pegged down and will not take up much room in a small lightweight porch awning.

I quite like that one Esther has - but the dogs would probably knock it over. One that can be pegged down would be good. I'll have to have a look around any caravan dealers I visit in my travels, if Davan do them then others must. Thanks Scar.

We use a old broom pole hammered into the ground. Coathooks have been taped to the top of the pole with pvc tape. We had all the bits and made it up about 3 years ago as a tempory job. We are still using it and it was free
Back of the chair for us, too, although an ordinary S-hook round a pole works OK - as long as the awning's not tight against the pole as it will rub on the hook and cause a weakness.
