Paper Towel Advice!

We brought our favorite paper towel holder from home and mounted it in Betty. It is made out of wood and it matches the cabinets. To change a roll of paper towels, we have to unscrew one of the wood ends, replace the roll and screw the wood end piece back on. This takes longer than just popping the roll off, but we don't do it often so it's OK.

The only problem we have is it sometimes unrolls while traveling. I thought it would be fun to ask the Facebook Group "Full-Time RVers" for advice. Two days ago I posted this: "Silly question: How do you keep your paper towels from unrolling while traveling?"

Surprisingly, 163 people offered advice!

Some of my favorites:

• Tie a ribbon, shoe string, whatever around it while driving.
• We put a rubber band around it.
• Turn your roll around wherre its from top instead of bottom same with TP doent unroll as eaisly
• Little piece of scotch tape .
• Cut the ends off of a two liter soda bottle. Slit down one side and wrap the plastic sleeve around paper towels. 
• Viva dies not roll...our RV experience.
• Stand up countertop holder....no problem.
• Chip clip
• Mine are on a roll just like that and never had that problem. Lucky me! But Dick just said that's cause I buy the cheap ones, and they are not soft. LOL!
• Squeeze the roll so that the cardboard cylinder inside is not round. We do that with tp also . Works great
• I tuck the a sheet in the end and it stops it from rolling
• Rubber bungee cord. 
• Get a cat. he'll roll that right up for you
• Put them in the cabinet 
• A Velcro strap - this Velcro sticks to itself and it is Great! 
• I use a soft hair scrunchie. slides over roll when traveling and slides over to use roll. color matches kitchen

 And my very favorite:

• super glue

Who knew so many people who be interested in paper towels?!
 
We are going to try the 'tie a ribbon around it' solution.
