X2 for the simple option, use pegs for opened plastic bags of food,(rice etc) and the pegs also to help keep the breaky cereal fresh

the ezyline looks like a good option and would also be keen to hear other responses

I use something like this.
http://www.korjo.com/Product-Range/Laundry---Bathroom-Products/Clothesline---Pegless-(PCL17).aspx

About $5 from Big W. One lives in the camper and can be set up between the poles of the awning another lives in the car to be hung up in the back for when the kids get their clothes wet.

x 2.  It's the universal camp washing line ... and we also have an occy strap that goes between the poles of either the awning or internal poles, which has 8 pegs already attached to the stretchy line (they don't come off) which are $8 from a camping store.  Good for light weight things like tea towels or your ladies smalls, but not large enough for 2 bath towels width wise also the weight is a bit much and it will sag in the centre.  It's very handy though.

We bought one of those folding aluminium mini Hill's Hoist clothes lines a few years back and have never taken it on a camping trip yet.  It did make a trip with us up the Cape just to keep SWMBO happy, but it spent the whole trip on the roof rack and was never used or even unfolded.  Now gets used in the laundry at home on those wet days.

We now have two pieces of rope which get strung up between two trees or to the roof rack on the Patrol.  SWMBO has an old pencil case which has a few pegs in it to keep the washing on the line if required.

Our tarp gives us a metre at each end of the tent under cover, so zig zag rope between tent and tarp poles for an easy covered clothesline.

We have the same as Gunna Doand Bill, but not quite as elaborate. We use it on longer trips. We also have a smaller plastic covered metal stand that folds flat and travels on top of the tent when travelling. Use it for the tea-towels and hand towels.

We use the camper guy ropes or a rope strung between poles or trees, on extended trips we use the laundromats dryer, after we use the washing machines :cup:

We have the same for our CUB. We actually  have two now. One for the camper permanently and one for the washing at home for when it is wet.  I can see the camper one coming out next wet season ::)

I use the ezyline - it is just the right size between the 2 poles on the kitchen, so it remains stuck on the whole time we are out.
The benefits for me is no pegs, I can hang each piece of washing per section of line so I can nearly fit a whole load of washing on 1 ezyline, quick retrieval and easy to use one handed.
I also use 3 at home....

We too have one of these and they are great. They hold a fair bit and take up very little space in your trailer.

We use it everyday even if it is just to hang your beach towell or dish cloth on.

When it rains I got a small blue tarp that goes over it and the stuff underneath still dries without having to dodge cloths and towells under the tarp and annex. The best thing about this is that it can live out off the annex or tarp.

Cheers Rod....

Bought 2 lengths of Flexiline...they worked a treat, it held a wet sleeping bag and blankets up, flapping in the wind after a wet patch a while back on the Sunshine Coast (Sunshine my ar...) whilst we were packing up to come home to the Northern Rivers.
