Bathroom cupholder options?

[rver2be]

Hello all. I searched the forum and did not find a related thread. Just wondering if anyone has found/made a bracket to replace the bathroom cupholder bracket. We don't need it as is, and would rather have something to hold two soap dispensers, but of course they are slightly larger diameter than the glasses.

Buy some T Nuts, https://sprinter-source.com/forums/index.php?threads/60583/#post-599563 and screws, https://www.amazon.com/Hilitchi-460...assortment&qid=1596377131&s=industrial&sr=1-6, which slide into the track and let's your make your own accessories to screw onto them.

Why would you have a drinking cup in a tiny toilet room? It's not the pristine, germ free atmosphere you might think it is. Polluted water vapors erupt from flushing and settle on everything in your crapper. Simply put...What's in your cup is in your black tank.

TwoClinks,

Thanks, had not given that thought. We just don't want to use the glasses/cups, and want a holder for soap-type dispensers. And it is pretty tiny!

BTW, ask LTV what they installed the cupholder!

We use the cups to hold our electric toothbrushes, work great.

SSTraveler,

Thanks. I had actually seen your previous post about the T-nuts, etc., and saved the info. I'm not ready to make my own bracket just yet.

Cultures of the toothbrushes in a bathroom exhibit high levels of e coli. You should store them in the kitchen. Or in the medicine cabinet at least.

Being a RV newbie, I had not thought of that. Luckily, I keep my electric toothbrush in a ziplock bag in my hanging travel kit.

Do you have a link for this organizer, or location where you found it?

Here are a couple that are similar in design, https://www.amazon.com/HBlife-Tooth...dp/B08B65Y8M9/ref=psdc_13749821_t1_B08HYFQ8PW or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GZ2X6C...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== or https://www.amazon.com/Simple-House...f7186&pd_rd_wg=WMsu2&pd_rd_i=B07MLGRLFV&psc=1. You can use a cup to replace the hand sanitizer bottle. Amazon offers lots of styles if you search.

I turned the cup holder upside down and velcroed a organizer to it!

My wife found two dispensers at the Dollar store. Sorry, no pics. They are tapered, so they fit right in, and get snug in the LTV cupholders.

Did you come up with a hook system to hang them from the rail?

I'd use a Stainless Steel Washer, then that way you can set the wire organizer on the machine screw and tighten the head against the washer, wire organizer, and rail to secure it firmly in place. You can buy Stainless Steel washers of all sizes at your local hardware store. Take your wire organizer and machine screw with you and pick the size you think works best. I don't know if you can get the M3 T slot nuts from a local hardware store, https://www.amazon.com/Sutemribor-H...ammer+Head+Fastener+Nut&qid=1620133070&sr=8-4, but you can certainly buy any size/length machine screw and washer at them.
