Solution ..

Put a couple of hooks on the wardrobe sides, an inch or so below the rail and about 6 inches further in ..

get a length of 15 mm copper pipe and fasten a 'Tee' at each end total length about half inch less than the width of the wardrobe.

put a length of shock-cord looped, one through each Tee such that when hooked on there is just a little tension holding the pipe against the coat-hangers' straight bit of the hook

and that's it .. ... no pipe-wrap on the rail, so you can slide the clothes easily

......

It really works .. done several trips .. not had anything fall when it's been on ..

we forgot to put it on leaving one site over a rough mile of access road .. then remembered .. stopped to check .. most things were off ..

if any entrepreneur wants to market it, fine, but I would expect some royalties

We just lay things on hangers on seats so they never fall off rail

I just put a bungee around the hangers, nothing comes of the rail

First time we ever towed in France we went from Soulliac to Sarlat along the bumpiest road you have ever been on - EVERY coat hanger straightened out, and EVERY wine glass broke the stem off!

Now we hang our clothes on proper (beech) wooden coat hangers and I have fitted shock absorbers to the caravan, result no more clothes on the floor - and I've stopped using the wine glasses that were free with Esso petrol, the ones we have now came free with six bottles of wine in Carefour!

The plumbers friend....polyfoam pipe wrap....cut every inch or so and use metal hangers that will drop into the cuts.......or hang them in the shower where the rail already has a twisted bungee type strap,

geoff

[Harley]

what we do is bend the hook part closer together so that they just fit over the hanging rail,this seems to stop them falling off......

[hughdavies]

Never had a problem with this on any of my vans, and I tow on some very rough roads and tracks.
All my vans have always had shock absorbers, so out of curiosity how many of the people with hanger probs. have them fited?

[jaymac]

We also use pipe wrap but didn't bother cutting it, it works really well.

[Challenger]

We have shock absorbers but our wardrobes are at the back of the van so they do receive a bit of a battering over rough ground. Have tried all sorts of solutions but the easiest and best is to alternate the way you put the hangers on.
Nothing falls of then and you don't have to use bungies or pipe insulation.
Simple really!

Oh those Wardrobes/..When we had the Lunar Delta with the wardrobe at the side at the rear...clotes always ended up in a large
heap on the bottom..flippin annoying...we used foam pipe wrap too..and it cured it.

Now with the Lexon..wardrobe just slightly back of centre on the side..nothing comes off..butto make sure I put clothes pegs
onto each item of clothing and push all the hangers closely together..G has put a clip onto the rail..but everything seems
to stay on with this wardrobe...thanks goodness..
