Going by the look of the door top/ pelmet, it's a sliding door.

I don't agree, look closely at the far left side of the photo, can you see an oven, maybe? Anyway, the towell rails are attached to both side of the vertical joint

Yes.
It’s a sliding door. 🙄
No room in an 18ft van for a hinged door. 😳
If you enlarge the photo you’ll notice two holes inside the left mounting of the top rail. That’s where the old (single) towel rail was mounted. New ones are longer. I reused the right end mounting point.
I couldn’t reuse the left point because the rails would have covered the toilet roll holder (also mounted on the door). As it is, the towels will be mighty close to it.
I’ll fill the holes with white bog later.

ps. George, what you see on the left outside the bathroom door is the fridge door… 😀
Regards & God bless,
Ray

Any reason for not using the suction cup type mounts with the vacuum pump to make them hold tight?

Got a corner shelf with those in the shower.
I have to re-stick it every month.

Maybe you aren't holding your mouth right Ray, we have two of them and they don't give any problems at all. We did give the surfaces a good clean down with metho before attaching them and the tiles are glazed, maybe that is the difference.

I have a few without the vac pump and just give them a press occasionally when walking past. Never have a problem but, one holding 2 heavy towels let go when we were away for 3 months.
