Portable IV stand
hi there - we're just planning a holiday to France and trying to cover all the things we need to take for CAPD. Has any one found a reasonably priced folding IV stand - thought it would be useful item for hanging the bags rather than over the end of a door!

Would a tripod substitute. Some of them are very lightweight, fold down & reasonable price:) Just a thought.

I always used the suction hooks with the hook which folds down once to secure the suction pad once you have stuck it to something. I wouldn't advocate regular suction hooks because they don't have a strong enough suction. they will stick sufficiently to any smooth shiny surface. I would use the hotel pictures, windows or doors to stick them on. Much smaller and much cheaper.

Kiskeam - you have made me laugh! 'bash them into the wall' eh? but it is a good idea
I have bought some 's' shaped hooks which easily hang just about everywhere and take up no room in your luggage. At home I also created my own stand - using a line prop which you can adjust the height of, and made a base for it.
But if going away you could just take the prop and concoct a base when you get there....... for example, you could get a big empty plastic bottle, cut it open, fill with sand and stick the prop into it. You can always use the prop as a walking aid on your journey too
Let us know what you do and how your holiday goes.
