Look under nearly every caravan awning and you will be sure to find a wide variety of towels or clothing hanging from them. Caravan awnings make one of the best makeshift clothes lines for travellers. And whilst there are so many ways they can be made, some are better than others.  Many use rope, which gets tangled and sags over time, and unless you are really good with knots can fall off. We have found stainless steel cable to be one of the best things to use, however fitting them can be an issue, unless, you use a readymade version. This is what has led us to Caravan RV Cables.

Caravan RV Cables manufacture and supply one of the best awning clothes lines we have found in the market. They are simple and easy to install, but where we have found they excel is in the quality of the cable they use for all of their products.  They also manufacture a great range of security products for RV’s, once again using the same high quality cable and manufacturing process.

Read on to find out more about their products and what is on offer from Caravan RV Cables

Understanding Cable Quality

All cable used in the entire Caravan RV Cable range is the highest quality cable which will hold its shape so it does not need to be repeatedly tensioned, meaning it will not damage your awning.

Grades
All cables are 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel. 316 grade steel is the most versatile on the market as it has the highest level of resistance to corrosion. Both 304 & 316 grades are commonly used to make cables, however Marine Grade 316 contains Molybdenum, which in plain English is a hard silver white metal element that toughens the steel and increases corrosion resistance. This offers the best protection from salt spray and is very unlikely to rust or stain.

Comparison of 304 to 316 stainless steel

Strength
The secret to the strength of the cable is in the construction. Stainless Steel cables have many grades and commonly referred to as 1 x 19 multi strand or 7 x 19 multi strand. The number represent the number of strands and cores used in the cable.
For e.g. 1 x 19 grade cable means there are 19 strands of wire and only 1 core used. This effectively means the wire is weaker and will be more prone to stretching and bending, thus losing it shape easily and requiring much more tension.
7 x 19 however means there are actually 7 cores that make up the cable each with 19 strands. This makes is super strong, means it will not stretch, does not flex easily and is extremely hard to cut through.

Different strands and cores

Making the cables
Whilst the wire quality is of the highest grade, how it is fitted is what counts, as you have to ensure the wire will not slip out of its fittings once it is installed and tensioned. To ensure the strongest possible joins, all fittings in the Caravan RV Cable range are handmade and swaged in a hydraulic press. The press uses 70 tonne of pressure ensuring professional fittings that will last a lifetime and which are backed by a full 10 year warranty.

There must be 150 mm from top of the door to bottom of awning when the awning is closed. The fixed line is designed to be installed and left on the van while travelling.  The cable is stiff so it holds its shape and does not have to be tightened as much thus will not damage your awning.

Fixed & Removable versions available

All M4 Stainless Steel Bolts Nylock Nuts and washes required to install are supplied. Installation of the fixed line is extremely easy, however it is strongly advised not to use pop rivets during the installing process. All warranty is void if pop rivets are used in place of the nuts and bolts supplied.  The cables are made to fit all size awnings on the market from 12′ to 22′ foot long, however custom length can be arranged by request.

Removable Awning Closes Line Kit

Designed for Pop Top Caravans or Camper Trailer awnings to allow access for the door to open when the awning is in the closed position. It can also be used on a full sized van as a second line or if you don’t want to travel with it on. It has been designed to be easily removed to allow access to a pop top van door when the awning is in the closed position. The removable line can remain on during travel or stay on permanently if you like. They come with both circle clips for travelling and R clips for easy removal.

Trailer Mate Security Cable

This cable has been specifically designed to be able to lock your Trailer Mate to the A-Frame of your van or trailer in the down or used position or in the up or travel position. It allows you to lock up your Trailer Mate Front Lift and Jack and prevent it from being stolen. This cable is made from 4.0 mm Marine Grade G316 Stainless Steel 7 x 19 multi-stranded wire. That is a total of 133 strands of stainless steel wire, making it extra strong. These cables cannot be cut with side or bolts cutters. Special cutters are required and are not in the normal tool kit.  The cable in designed to be put through the handle sleeve and around the A frame, whether it is in use or while travelling.

These cables come in a range of sizes, 5m, 10m, 15m & 20m so they can be used for any application around the RV or campsite.  The range of security cables uses the same 4.0mm 316 Stainless with 7 x 19 multi strand wire giving it superior strength and resistance to being cut with normal cutters.

Secure a whole range of items around the campsite

Single & Dual Wheel Security Cable

Ideal for when you are camping and want to leave your caravan, camper or boat trailer to go sightseeing or to the shops for more supplies, you can lock it up quickly and easily with this security cable. It not only stops your caravan or trailer from being towed away, it also stops your wheels from being stolen. Weighing less than 500gms, it is easier to install than a wheel clamp, is a lot less cumbersome and takes up a lot less room when you are on the road.
This cable has been especially designed for wheel security and available in two styles-

Wheel Cables available in Bare Wire or PVC Coated 

Both versions are super strong, with the bare cable 6.5mm in diameter but still using the 7 x 19 strand G316 Marine Stainless.
The PVC version is of 6.0mm diameter and uses 7 x 7 multi strand cable, but then coated in a thick PVC covering to offer scratch free protection.

Both are available for single and dual axles.

  1. David –

    Well made product, however I found the wording of the instructions confusing as to the measurements. An illustration would help as would the suggested size of the drill bit.

  2. Kez –

    clothes line is a great product and easy to install.

  3. Barry Marshal –

    This is the second line I have purchased for two different modes of rv’s and they have both been excellent.

  4. Phil King –

    The quality of the stainless steel cable for this clothes lines is first class. The installation was simple and delivery was as specified. I am a very happy customer.

  5. Les Tilker –

    This is the second line we have purchased where the original one is great but not enough hanging space. The ordering is easy and delivery is prompt Thanks FRC.

  6. Kieron –

    Good price and great service.

  7. Craig Rudduck –

    Great product, it was easy to fit, perfect size and doing a great job. Highly recommended.

  8. Annie Allan –

    The permanent fixed clothesline is great !! It is very easy to install and no more mucking around with ropes !! We would definitely recommend this product to anyone !!

  9. Chris Rickards –

    Great product we bought one for our Van 12 months a go From here and a neighbor just up graded his van I showed him our set up and he wanted one. We have been using ours for 12months and think it is 1 of the best upgrades we have done. by the way great service and great top quality product and easy to fit as I fitted his today. thank you

  10. Claudette –

    The plan was to but all the required parts and then create the clothes line but found this version on line and it saved me plenty of time and effort, not to mention some more unwanted grey hairs. So easy to install and took very little time. Follow the well written instructions and the job is done before you realise. And, the other clothesline has now made a quick exit so more space in the tunnel boot.

  11. PAUL JOHNSTON –

    Quality is outstanding, service was superb as well.
    I actually bought two, and after the install, we can leave them on the awning bars.
    Now, every time we put the awning out, we don’t have to do that extra job of rigging a clothes line. Brilliant.

  12. Nick de Groot –

    Ordered the fixed line, custom made length at no extra expense. I rang up for my order, left a message and a staff member returned my call within the hour and was very helpful with my order. It is a good quality line and simple to fit with very strait forward instructions. I do recommend you run a string line or even use electrical tape to mark the line above the door before you drill the holes so you can see any interference when the awning is stored away.

  13. Steve Cornish –

    It would be one of the best mods you can do to your caravan, they are awesome. The product was packaged well, delivered promptly and fitting it was a breeze (great instructions). Thankyou.

  14. John –

    The security cable is an added bonus to our purchase of the clothesline. I am sure this cable will come in handy and be very useful.

  15. John –

    Friends had purchased this item and were extremely happy as are we. It was easy to install and is just what we required. The quality of the product is excellent. Very happy with the online service and delivery was quick. Thank you 😊

  16. Chris Smith –

    We have had this removable stainless clothes line for 3 years on our previous caravan, and have purchased again for our new van. The product is of extreme quality, easy to install, and works a treat. Level of service from the provider is terrific.

  17. Steve Abbott –

    On arrival I couldn’t believe the quality of this clothesline and it just goes to show how much better products that are made in Australia are and how bad some of the cheaply made alternatives made in China can be. The other surprise was the cost, well worth it. Thank you

  18. Tony K –

    Fantastic quality and exactly as ordered. Easy to fit. Looks like it will last forever…

  19. Russell Murphy –

    I just love it when a product exceeds your expectations as this did. Fast delivery, clear instructions in actual English! That cable & crimping end is top shelf. So glad I joined up as a Premium member to snag a security cable & some ground dogs at the same time! Happy camper here!! 🙂

  20. Dave Baker –

    Recently purchased and installed the permanent awning clothesline, extremely impressed at the quality of the hardware and the ease of install. Looks great, works great and an exceptional price! Like everything else inhave purchased from FRC I am very happy and will be back for more stuff! Cheers, Dave and Catherine.

  21. Emma –

    Service – 150%! Went the extra mile to post our kit out before Easter, excellent customer service. Would have rated perfect, but one of the SS bolts was delivered bent, and couldn’t be used, luckily we could borrow a bolt of a mate. Kit measures correctly, and is smooth and well engineered, with good instructions.

  22. Allan –

    Absolutely the best clothes line on a caravan. Simple and easy to install, always stays on the awning, you don’t need to get it out from the deep dark depths of storage and install every time you want to use it. So convenient. Hangs towels, shirts, wetsuits, fill the line up – no problem. Would have bought 2 but need another caravan. When we upgrade again, this will be standard equipment. Cheers. Buy one, don’t be disappointed.

  23. Denise –

    Great line easy to fit and I’m sure I’m going to get many years of use and the service was exceptional

  24. Barry Schulz –

    An excellent design, impressive manufacturing standard and yes, a beautiful package that was easily fitted. Love it!

  25. Bryan Martin –

    Along with other products, we recently purchased the Awning Clothes Line Kit-Fixed. I was pleasantly surprised after placing the order to have a phone call from Glen, confirming the measurements I’d placed in the order, as I’d obviously made a mistake. He was wonderful in his manner in helping get the correct measurements and when the product arrived, it was easy to fit and works brilliantly. So glad we brought this for our new motorhome. Another “must have” item.

  26. Barb Elliott –

    I cannot recommend FRC enough. I made a mistake in ordering the size of a fixed washing line but the help l received to get another one before Christmas and our annual holiday was superb. Thank you guys, you’re awesome. I certainly will be recommending FRC to everyone.

  27. David Allen –

    Fantastic product and fantastic service. Received next day, easy to install and a quality product.

  28. Roger –

    Just as described, but easier than I thought to install. Even better, to compliment the product, was the follow-up by phone and the little pearls of wisdom and advice provided. Great.

  29. Ron –

    I ordered the wrong size fixed line and after discussing the issue a replacement item was sent to me very quickly and I fitted it and can’t fault the quality of their items. I would not hesitate in ordering other items from FRC in the future.

  30. Tony –

    So, after the wife seen many others with a full time clothes line, I had no choice did I! Ours was a custom length order, installation is a simple process – you CAN do it. Just check positioning with a string line re your door etc. clearance, mark the hole positions, drill and insert then do it up. Not even enough time for a thinking beer.

  31. ELIZABETH SMITH –

    This clothesline is a great product, love it.

  32. Jeff –

    Excellent product made from quality material as described. Super easy to fit.
    I purchased the fixed version and looking at fitting a detachable aswell, impressed

  33. Ross –

    This whole kit is quality.
    The cable crimping is extremely neat & strong.
    I purchased the removable kit but I have been able to leave the line installed.
    Anyone purchasing this kit won’t be disappointed, 10/10

  34. Mark Gent –

    Impressed with the product, it was easy to fit and is so convenient!

  35. Greg cartan –

    This pack is top quality. I couldn’t buy the bits and pieces for the price. Impressed.
