Don't put too much time and thought in the brand or towels to use. [emoji3]

They need to dry faster in your RV than at home? You plan on showering more?

Some folks have recommended these towels from JC Penney:

The same characteristics that applealed to us in S&B home also feel right in the motorhome. They seem to dry just fine, though YMMV depending on towels and numbers and racks.

We did purchase a backup set for MH to avoid hurrying to laundry, but we do not use them much. In retrospect, my second set have been planned to serve double duty as back up bath towels and also beach towels.

We are full timers and our last towel purchase was a set of quick drying towels. They do seem to dry a bit faster. We are fortunate to have stackable washer/dryer so we just throw our towels into the dryer after use. Our towels hang in our toilet room so it is very difficult for them to air dry.

Another vote for the Quick-Dri from JC Penney. Got them last Fall at 50% off sale- seems they go on sale a few times a year. Web site says there's a sale on now, although I don't know if these towels are covered.

I generally don't buy anything differently for my MH then I do for our S&B home. Except for dishes. I want the same quality in my MH as I have in my home. If you have a dryer just put them in it.

No amount of money can buy you an extra second of time.

We just bought the lightest weight ones from WalMart/Target, etc. We don't use the heavy thick ones. They take up too much space. A lighter one dries the body just as well.

If you throw the towel in the dryer without washing, why do you ever wash towels? They don't get any dirtier with the 2nd or 3rd drying off. Also, not everyone has dryers.

As full timers, we do not have enough room to carry towels for every day of the week. So we wash them every couple of days and dry them daily so they do not mold or add additional moisture to our upstairs area. We find that if we do not dry the towels, then they never dry before the next use.

If you have a hook for towels why not just hang it on that, and it will be dry by the next time you want to use it.

It also depends where you are in the country. In Florida they'll take a long time to dry. In Arizona maybe an hour or two.
