You’ve got everything ready, and now you just need a few caravan coat hangers to slip your garments onto in order to keep them crease-free and carefully stored in your compact and bijou caravan wardrobe.

Now, we aren’t portraying caravan coat hangers as items that are going to be make it onto your “highly important holiday/caravan things you simply must not forget to take.” Ok, so they might not be deemed a caravanning essential, but without those caravan coat hangers just how are you going to hang up that new linen shirt? Hmmm?

Let’s agree they are not remotely exciting, but heck, they are very useful, and shall we tell you about something that could possibly be even more useful? Clip on caravan coat hangers. These bad boys enable you to clip your other coat hangers onto them (so you can hang e.g. five hangers from one hook), thus enabling you to vertically store your garments and taking up even less space. Clip on caravan coat hangers also prevent your hangers moving around and falling off the rail – after all you don’t want to open the wardrobe door to find all of your newly ironed clothes in a creased-up heap on the floor.

See, now we’ve got your attention! Any product that proves itself useful in the world of caravanning is surely worthy of exploration, and with that let us take a meander at some of the best caravan coat hangers and clip on caravan coat hangers on the market:

Caravan Coat Hangers (Our Selections)

Described as the “perfect travel accessory” for use in the car, home, and caravan, this pack of 6 black foldable travel all-purpose clothes hangers are brought to you by British brand (with a name like that we’re assuming they know a thing or two about caravan coat hangers).

These hangers are good quality, and innovative in design – they fold, and they are lightweight, compact and easy to carry. These hangers can be used to hang up all manner of garments – from blouses to t-shirts and jackets (though heavy jackets might prove to be a little too weighty). There are handy notches in the hangers, so you can hang garments by their loops and straps (we know some tops and dresses tend to slip off, so this is useful for hanging those). Each hanger is 40cm (16”) wide and when you fold it up it’s a mere 8cm x 13.5cm (3.1” x 5.3”). The top part of the hanger is fixed (the hook doesn’t swivel), so you can’t turn it to hang over a door for instance, but we can’t see that being an issue, when it comes to caravanning it’s surely better to have your clothes stored neatly away in your wardrobe.

We like:

Clever design and good value for money.

Maybe a swivelling hook would be useful?

This set of 10 space saving hangers are brought to you by a company called Pearl. The hangers are very narrow and thin, which means they will take up much less space in your wardrobe. The hangers come complete with indentations (great for hanging skirts) and there’s also a handy trouser bar, so you can fold trousers and long dresses over.

The hangers are clip on caravan coat hangers – rather unique in the fact that they have a central hook on the front, this means you can click your hangers together and suspend them vertically – thus saving even more space! Another great feature is the non-slip velvet surface, which encourages your clothes to stay put rather than slide off. Size wise each hanger is 380 x 215 x 6.3 mm and weighs just 55g.  Just to offer you a comparison, standard wooden hangers are wide, and usually take up 12 to 20mm per item, whereas this hanger is a mere 6.3mm thick!
