  • the suspension element has at least one opening for discharging the air to the environment.
  • the drying of the textile product can be particularly effective with the help of hot air. Likewise, it is also possible to let out only unheated air from the environment via the suspension element to dry in this way towels or other textile products.
  • a fabric especially a towel provided suspension element, which may be formed hollow for the flow of hot air.
  • the removal of the hot air flowing through the suspension element can take place via at least one opening formed in the suspension element, which preferably has a substantially vertically downwards discharge or outflow of hot air into an external environment, such as the interior of a typical leisure vehicle (caravan, motorhome, etc .).
  • a towel held on the hanging element can be very effectively dried by the outflowing heated air, which is typically taken from recreational vehicles a hot air distribution system of a liquefied gas heating.
  • the heated air can flow, for example, between the two opposite sections of a towel suspended on the suspension element.
  • the heated air flows immediately after outflow from the Abschlement past the fabric to be dried, whereby a very effective drying can be realized. This avoids that the heated air flows upwards as a result of its buoyancy without having previously flown past the textile product to be dried.
  • the suspension element along its longitudinal extension, in particular along its entire longitudinal extension, a non-self-contained, z. B. constant cross-section.
  • This inventive design of the Ab yogalements which is formed in a practical development in the form of a tubular element, a z. B. along the entire longitudinal extent the Ab yogalements extending opening can be removed by the hot air into the outside environment.
  • the opening may be designed such that the flow velocity of the hot air is kept in the suspension element so high that over the entire outlet opening a uniform outflow of warm air can be realized. Thus, even drying of the textile products held on the suspension element can be realized.
  • the cross section of the at least one hanging element is oval-shaped.
  • An oval-shaped cross-section is statically advantageous and makes it possible to use besides textile products, e.g. Gloves and T-shirts, even heavier items, such as ski boots to push the suspension element, the suspension element may consist of a metallic material or plastic.
  • suspension elements according to the invention are designed to be pushed twice or three times into one another so that they can be quickly and precisely mounted on site by means of a designated click system.
  • the towel according to the invention comprises a tubular support member on which the at least one suspension element is mounted such that through the tubular support member incoming warm air flows through the at least one suspension element.
  • the support member may be attached, for example, to an inner wall of a recreational vehicle, so as to fix the towel dryer according to the invention fixed.
  • the warm air which can be taken in recreational vehicles typically a hot air distribution system of an electric, diesel or LPG heating, according to the invention can flow into the tubular support member and via a suitable connection between the flow path of the support member and the flow path of Ab torquelements makes flow into the suspension element, to dry textile products or, if appropriate, other articles held on the suspension element.
  • the at least one suspension element is pivotally mounted on the support element, which conveniently several textiles can be kept on the towel dryer.
  • the support member may be double-walled and / or have a thermal insulation of a different material than the carrier element.
  • connection element for Connecting the towel dryer provided to a source of hot air.
  • the hot air source is in this case, for example, said hot air distribution system or any other system, which provides hot air for the drying of suspended on the Ab vonlement fabrics and for heating of interiors of the camping habitation.
  • the connecting element is designed as a branching device with two air outlets. Via a first air outlet of the branching device, at least part of the hot air flowing in from the hot air source can be branched off for an inflow into the tubular support element and thus finally led to the suspension element. At least a portion of the warm air can flow out into the environment via a second air outlet of the branching device and can thus be used directly for heating the room in which the towel dryer is mounted.
  • the distribution of the hot air to be branched off to the air outlets is adjustable by an adjusting means, which is preferably provided on the carrier element.
  • the hot air from the hot air source may optionally be wholly to the first air outlet, all the way to the second air outlet or at a certain operator-selectable ratio to the first one Air outlet and be led to the second air outlet.
  • the user of the towel dryer thus has the ability to z. B. completely to the first air outlet and thus lead to the or the Abschlementen to heat or dry textiles there. If, however, the towel dryer as such is not to be used, the air can also be led completely to the second air outlet and thus directly into the room to be heated, given a corresponding position of the actuating means. In this case, the suspension element receives no warm air. However, it can of course continue to perform its holding function.
  • the adjusting means allows any intermediate positions, with which the hot air distribution between the first and the second air outlet can be selected.
  • z. B. warm air to both the first air outlet and thus to the suspension element and the second air outlet and thus should be performed directly in the room to be heated, it may be desirable to operate the fan with a higher power level than when z. B. only warm air for drying a towel, but not for heating the whole room is needed.
  • the heating power of the hot air source ie z. B. the liquefied gas supply to the liquefied gas heater or the power supply for the electric heater can be adjusted.
  • the adjusting means may comprise a pivotable flap arranged in the branching device, the position of which being adjustable by means of an adjusting device.
  • the adjustment can usefully operate from the outside by the operator.
  • the invention further relates to a heating system for a recreational vehicle, with a hot air source and the towel dryer according to the invention connected to the hot air source.
  • the hot air source has, inter alia, a heater, for. B. a liquefied gas heating with an atmospheric burner, a heat exchanger and a flue gas fireplace.
  • the heater may also be an electric, diesel or solid fuel heater.
  • the hot air source may have a distribution system, for. B. with tube or hose guides, blowers, control flaps, etc.
  • the type of generation of hot air and their supply is ultimately arbitrary. It is crucial that the hot air can enter the air inlet of the connection element with a certain flow velocity.
