Diy “amco” Paper Towel Holder

[Rutger Puts]

Hello,
Newby here. I decided to contribute to the many paper towel holder discussions on the forum. I got to understand how such a simple topic got so much attention. We lived with a bungied roll for a while. Or it floated around the trailer. I searched everywhere for that Amco holder, but that was futile.
So I came up with this solution in the first image. I bought two $15 holders on Amazon. Cut a 1/2” wood spacer and put them on top of each other and screwed them in the hatch on the right side.
We didnt have a windy day yet but I’ve rattled and pushed it hard, the roll stays on. hope this helps someone.

Interesting innovative idea. You'll have to give a long term forum report once you've used it for a season, and see if the unused bar keeps enough pressure on it as the roll is used, to keep the remainder from unfurling in the wind.

Sure will.
I forgot to add that some was selling an Amco one for $55 last year. That really got me going. Just had to beat that.
