Automatic paper towel dispenser

Soon after purchasing our coach, I installed a paper towel holder under the cabinet in the kitchen:

That was nice, except Paladin had a bad habit of shredding the towels; I guess it felt fun.

So we left the towel rail empty, and put the roll in a cupboard:

We decided to replace it with an enclosed automatic towel dispenser. We had one in our homestead, and it worked well to protect the towels from Paladin, and was pretty convenient. So we got a similar one, but under-counter mounted, since counter space is valuable in an RV.

I used its template to mark the location:

Then mounted the bracket:

Here it is installed:

One simply waves a hand in front, and it dispenses a sheet to be torn off:

I also tidied the wire, wrapped in a velcro strap, and attached to the wall with a stick-on clip:

Here it is in context in our kitchen:

Finally, a video of it in action — the motion sensor to dispense a towel, and it auto-retracting when I didn’t take one:

You can hold your hand longer to dispense more towel sections, and can set how much to dispense at a time.

A nice improvement to our kitchen.
