Arresting run-away RV paper rolls!

Dan4th on wikimedia commmons
Do your RV journeys result in unrolled toilet paper or paper towels? Keeping these rolls from de-rolling can be a bit frustrating, and wasteful if the products end up contaminated. Here are two different approaches to keeping those rolls in place:

Use a common spring-loaded clothes pin to pinch the product together. For example, pull back a two or three layers of the runaway paper and pinch the clothes pin onto the stuff.

Want something a little more on the do-it-yourself edge? Pick an appropriate diameter plastic bottle, cut it to length to cover the width of the offending roll by whacking off the bottom and the top of the bottle. Now make a lengthwise cut to split open the bottle and secure it around the roll. Two-liter pop bottles may be just the thing for this task.

This latter suggestion may even prevent feline paper attack syndrome.

    Or, you can just squeeze the cardboard tube into an oval before you slide it on the roller.

    You can still pull off the paper, but it won't start whizzing off the roll as you trundle down the highway
