Step-by-Step Tips for Caravanning, Camping, Cruising & Overseas Travel
Whether you’re heading off on a camping adventure, packing up the caravan, booking a cruise or jetting overseas, one thing remains true – you’ll need to do some laundry while you’re away.
Enter the Slide n’ Dry Pegless Clothesline: the simple, compact, and brilliantly clever solution that thousands of Aussie travellers swear by. But how do you actually use it?
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to set up and use your Slide n’ Dry, with tips for every type of travel – caravanning, camping, cruising and more. We’ll also answer your most common questions so you can dry your clothes stress-free, no matter where you are.
What Comes in the Pack?
Each Slide n’ Dry Pegless Clothesline set includes:
-
Two bungee cords with hooks (one for each end)
-
A set of UV-stabilised plastic slides with built-in clothes-holding grips
Everything is lightweight, compact, and ready to roll into your suitcase, caravan drawer or backpack.
How Does It Work?
Instead of using traditional pegs, the Slide n’ Dry system uses sliding clips that grip your clothes firmly in place. Simply feed the garment into the clip and slide it along the cord – it’s that easy.
No pegs to lose, no stretched elastic to deal with, and no sagging washing line to fight against.
Step-by-Step: How to Set It Up
1. Find Two Anchor Points
Look for a secure place to hook each end of the line. Some common setups include:
-
Camping: Between two trees, tent poles, or a roof rack
-
Caravanning: Between awning arms, annex poles or mounted hooks
-
Cruising: Across a balcony (if permitted) or within your cabin
-
Overseas Travel: Between balcony railings, bedposts, or bathroom towel rails
✅ Tip: Always check cruise line policies on using clotheslines — many allow them inside the cabin, especially in the shower or near the bathroom door.
2. Attach the Hooks
Use the bungee cord hooks to secure each end of the clothesline to your chosen points. The elastic gives a bit of stretch, making setup quick and easy — even when anchor points aren’t perfectly aligned.
3. Hang Your Laundry – No Pegs Needed!
Gently slide your clothing into the clips by pushing the fabric into the opening. The slides grip the fabric firmly, keeping it in place without damage.
Want to fit more clothes? Simply space the slides out and use both sides of the cord.
✅ Pro tip: Heavier items like wet jeans or beach towels are no problem – the Slide n’ Dry can hold over 40kg of laundry!
4. Adjust the Length as Needed
Only need a short line between two trees? No worries. Want a longer line for a full family wash? Add all the slides.
The Slide n’ Dry is fully modular and adjustable, so you can create the perfect size for your space.
