Where to hang jackets
Hi all,
We have a 2017 Thor Miramar 37.1 and I'm at a loss about where to find a convenient spot to hang our jackets (for a family of 4), especially on rainy days, when we first walk into our RV. As you walk up the steps, to the left are 2 cabinet doors that provide an additional access point under our kitchen sink for storage, so we can't hang jackets there. To the right is the passenger seat which is only a few inches away from the wall, so there's not enough space to hang jackets there. We have a drop down overhead bunk and I bought over the door chrome hooks and attached them to the side of the mattress frame but then the jackets blocked access to the seats and the coffee table. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Buy a bigger rig?
Even my 45' high 6 figures rig doesn't have a spot to hang anything inside the door so I use the backs of the driver and pass. seats or the chairs at the table.
In the last rig I hung a shower rod over the tub, but then water dripped into the cat litter. Cat's weren't too thrilled to have water drip on them while doing their "business".

The shower works for us. Just leave door open a little for circulation.

In our previous Class C we also hung a tension bar in the shower and use this for our wet jackets.

Our solution: with slide out extended hooks can be folded out fo use. Before attaching hooks secure plaque to wall then cover mounting screws with hooks.
Other photo is easier access to entry for smaller campers.(ceiling fan pull chain.

Where to hang jackets
We had Newmar install a backer for a coat rack instead of their wall art. The folding hooks allow the slide to come in and clear the rack. The two hooks on the right can stay open with the slide in.

Don't you also have wet towel hangers in your shower/bath sink area? With those and the aforementioned rod over the shower, you should have enough hanging space for 4 wet coats over flooring designed to deal with it.

The chances of me forgetting to fold up the hooks before bringing in the slide would be somewhere around 99.99%. 
I mounted 2 hooks (there's only 2 of us in the motorhome) over the entry door. If the coats are wet they can drip in the entry well where there's no harm done.

Wet coats go in the shower, dry coats go on the Command hooks we put on the wardrobe frame. Wet dog goes everywhere!!!

Try scrubbing bubbles. That is what I use on my boat upholstery when it would get dirty or a weird stain. Condition afterward

Also agree on the tension bar in the shower.
