My clothes always travel in the wardrobe and cupboards and I have never noticed any problem from them. In fact the way I load a caravan that is new to me is to load it as I would wish things to be ( clothes in wardrobes, food in the fridge and the cupboards around the kitchen, books in lockers, toiletries in the bathroom in fact everything where it would be once we got there ), I then check the noseweight and if it is right ( so far I have never failed ) that is where we leave them. Never had a problem with instability, never had any inkling that something was not right just basically relaxed towing, but I do not hurry anywhere with a van on the back.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013
Ours go in too, I allow for them being in there, always check nose weight and all ok, a tip I found though, as everytime I arrived on site I used to think why bother ironing it all,my wardrobe had spilt out everywhere, All my hangers had fallen off,but I read somewhere to use pipe lagging on the rail, I did and it really works, my clothes are still hanging as they should be when I get there, one happy lady here

Adopt a rescue, rescue dogs make great pets, don't support puppy farms.
The road can be tough and rough,but what you put in you get back 10 x more.
but if they are too heavy for the rod (because manaufacturers tend to staple wood together and not screw it) the weight of the clothes x the force generated in towing movements could bring the rack down Given this experience, we tend to put jeans/ coats on the wardrobe floor then replace at the end of the journey.
NB If you only have a few things in the warderobe they will enjoy floating around in the space provided and could end up on the floor. Our guitar keeps them in place and pushed up against the wall
Hi I do the same as everyone else has mentioned on here. But I thought I would mention this for anyone who has the same problem as myself. Our wardrobe is in the bathroom part of the caravan, which is not a problem, except it can be quite dark in there. I have a long battery light which I keep in the wardrobe to enable me to see the clothes better. I also have bought some felt covered pink and black coat hangers (bought from Home Bargains), I hang my clothes on the pink and the OH on the black ones. This enables me to recognise which clothes are which.

I don't have that problem, I look at the clothes and if they have a skirt with them they are not for me.

We hang a few bits in the wardrobe but tie the hangers up to one end so that they can't swing about or fall off the hangers while the van is moving.
I am lucky if I can find enough space in the wardrobe for my bits, Anne on the other hand has the finest array of well travelled unworn clothes imaginable.

Well I was going to add, that all hubby's clothes get folded in the shelves, it's mainly mine hanging resplendent in the wardrobe
But my reason behind this, is if I iron them and put them in there then I get first dibs on space!!

Never had a problem with clothes falling off the hangers in the wardrobe. Used to in the inlaws motorhome but not so far in the caravan. We use coloured plastic hangers I've acquired from car boots.

I've never seen it as much of a problem that needs a solution, but there is a company that makes hangers for vans that they say won't fall off Lock on Hangers website here
