Going on your caravan holiday is something you look forward to, and you’ll probably have holiday clothes that you’re bringing with you.
We always have that one thing that we forget to bring with us that we only remember once we’ve arrived at our destination… ahh yes, the clothes hangers.
Caravan hangers allow you to properly organise your closet when it’s time to store them away after using a clothes airer or towel rail. They might not be at the top of your to-buy list, but without them, you’ll end up having piles of clothes or living out of your suitcase for the remainder of your holiday.
Hangers will also stop your clothes from creasing, which will save you the job of having to iron your clothes each day. Some come with clips and useful designs that will stop your clothes falling off while you’re driving.
In this guide, we take a look at some of the best caravan coat hangers for use while you’re travelling. Including the best non-slip and lock-on designs.
Let’s get to them!

The hangers are built with shoulder notches so garments with straps can fit more securely – and are less likely to fall off during transit! To use the hangers you just simply unfold and they’re ready to go. These hangers are great for caravanning where you might have less storage space or a smaller sized wardrobe.
The hangers have extended dimensions of 40cm (16″) wide and folded dimensions of 8cm x 13.5cm (3.1″ x 5.3″) approx. As is the tradition when buying coat hangers… the more you get, the cheaper they are per unit.

JVL Premium Range Velvet Touch Non-Slip Coat Hangers
The premium JVL hanger is extra thin, and designed to be lightweight and space-saving to maximise the clothes storage area in your caravan wardrobe. They are still strong, so they can hang any piece of clothing from coats and jeans to shirts and blouses.

At the top of the hanger is a hook which has the ability to swivel so you can easily change the direction of the hanger, but the swivel is firm enough to not turn unless you mean to.
SONGMICS Velvet Ultra Thin Space Saving Hangers
These Songmics hangers may not be specifically designed with caravans in mind; however, their design makes them great all the same. The hangers are built using ultra-thin material, and their thickness is just 0.6cm, which takes up considerably less room than a standard hanger.
Despite this ultra-thin design, they’re still durable, and the design mimics the natural curvature of human shoulders, which means your clothes hang in a more natural position.
The hangers also have high quality flocking which heightens the friction between the hangers when they come together, which stops your clothes from slipping off.
The hangers have a swivel hook which has a 360-degree rotation and is chromium-plated adding extra functionality and durability. There are U-type grooves built into the hanger, which makes you able to hang dresses, skirts and vests without them falling off. If you have smaller items such as ties or scarves, then they can be hung on the top rail of the hanger.
The hangers come in packs of 30 or 50, so quite a bulk buy, and not as suitable if you only need a few hangers for a short trip.
Types of Clothes Hangers For Caravans
It may seem like every clothes hanger is the same, but this isn’t the case. There are many different types available to suit your needs, and some that are made for specific purposes.
It’s important that you get the best hangers for a caravan so let’s explain the different types that you can choose from.
Wooden Hangers
Wooden hangers have a high level of strength which means they can support the weight of heavy clothes. This makes it great even more jackets and coats whilst they also have a natural wooden look and colour which looks great for your caravan interior.
Wire Hangers
Wire hangers are lightweight and are constructed using thin metal which is then coated in plastic. This type of hanger can only hold lightweight clothes because they aren’t are durable, however, because they are plastic coated, it means that they won’t stain the clothes. They are generally low cost and easy to use.
Plastic Hangers
Plastic hangers are the most common type of hanger that you’ve probably got in your home. Generally, they’re fairly strong, which means they can support the weight of most types of clothes.
Depending on the brand of plastic, they vary in how long they will last for, but generally, they’ll need to be replaced at a later time when they become fragile and weaker. Plastic hangers are available in many different colours and shapes, so you have the opportunity to tailor the colour to your specific desires.
Clip Hangers
Likely, you may not have come across clip hangers before. They have a horizontally aligned structure which has clips connected to it. This allows you to secure your clothes in a position which is important if you’re in windy conditions.
Metal Hangers
Metal hangers are one of the toughest types of hangers available, and although they may not be the best aesthetically when it comes to performance, they are one of the top-performing options. They lose shape at a much slower rate which means you can use them for longer, so you save money in the long run.
Multi Hangers
Multi Hangers are designed so you can all your clothes on one rack with the main benefit being that you can save a load of space which is even more critical when you’re on a caravan where space is at a premium.
Heavy Duty Hangers
If you have heavy clothes, then a heavy-duty hanger may be the best option. It also means that you can hang more than one piece of clothing on these hangers because they’ll be able to handle the added weight.
This is only recommended if you have a lot of coats, jackets and other heavy clothes because these hangers will take up more space and be heavier than other options.
What To Look For In Caravan Clothes Hangers
Now you know the different types of hangers, here are the essential factors that contribute to having an effective clothes hanger that suits the needs of your wardrobe while you travel:
Quality
Quality is obviously an important factor because having high-quality hangers will mean that they last longer and will need to be replaced less frequently, which saves you money in the long term. Higher quality hangers will be made using higher quality materials; however, this can often increase the selling price, but it’s often better to spend a little more on a product that will last.
Size of the Hangers
The size of the hanger is important because you need to ensure that your clothes will fit on them. It’s also crucial because you need to ensure that they can fit into the caravan wardrobe. After all, if you have a small-sized wardrobe, you still need to be able to shut the door.
For most people, standard-sized hangers are more than adequate unless you have some unusually sized clothes.
Functionality
Caravan hangers have come a long way, and now you have options which can fold down to save space. This means that they’re more portable and easier to carry with you on your travels which also allows you to take more with you to give you more hanging capacity.
This added functionality will usually add a premium to the cost compared to a standard hanger; however, this added functionality gives you more benefits which are worth paying for.
Price
Hangers usually come in multipacks where the more you buy, the cheaper they’ll be per unit. Try not to get too drawn in by this because it can cause you to buy way more than you need.
The price of your hangers will be affected by several factors such as the brand, material and the number of hangers.
