Clothes drying rod

Hymer GmbH campervans come with a metal clothes rod in the shower. That's a great idea but Sam's head already touches the ceiling in the shower. This hack works great and is softer on the head. We leave it up all the time but It's quickly stowable if you prefer. The installation takes about 10 minutes and costs less than $2.

Tools:

• hand saw
• File
• 600 grit sandpaper

Parts

• 2 feet 1/2" schedule 40 PVC

Installation

• Cut and file pipe as shown.
• Wipe lettering off pipe with acetone (Home Depot also sells "furniture grade" pvc but we are too frugal for that)
• As with Corian counters, the rod is cleaned with fine sandpaper
• Slide rod in the ceiling gap.
