Heated towel rack?

We live in humid Houston and love our home towel warmer in the bathroom. It doesn't warm them so much as it dries them out. We miss that in the Monty. Has anyone put one in their 5th wheel? There would appear to be room either above the toilet or to the side. It would have to be narrow. The power may be a bit of a challenge to wire, but the benefits are great!

You won't find any structure behind the walls to mount it, so if you are happy with moly bolts in the 1/8" wall...go for it. You also won't have a spare breaker, so you will want to see what is connected to each breaker in order to pick the least used one. This will require a clamp on ammeter if there is room to use it. Unless you fulltime, is this work really worth the work?

You might want to go ahead and install a bidet too while you're at it!

Sounds like a lot of weight being added. What are y'all taking out of the Monty to put in all the new stuff?

We just throw them over the shower door and turn on the exhaust fan. They dry in no time.
