What do you do with a wet coat in your teardrop?

Since a teardrop trailer isn't usually much more inside than a box around a bed, what do you do with a wet raincoat or other wet clothes? I'm finalizing my design (hoping to start construction within weeks!) and this question keeps nagging in the back of my mind. I want to be sure that bringing the family back from a hike that ended in a rain shower doesn't leave our bed soggy.
Thanks in advance!

Either a closed awning or one of the suv tents with flap at teardrop door gives changing room as well as extra sleeping too.

We have clothing hooks just aft of the doors.

Everyting gets hung there. But it doesn't rain much here in the summer.

We installed clothing hooks. But, I always carry garbage bags to
carry something too wet or dirty to drip onto the bed. Its not
unusual to have something for a dryer at a laundromat on occasion.

We typically have an awning at the galley, so wet stuff can hang behind the trailer to drip dry...

Seems the consensus is to have an awning of some sort so you can deal with the drips before you climb in, though that may not help in the worst case where you're soaked to your skin and have neighbors within sight...
Clothes hooks inside make sense to me once the item isn't dripping. Maybe I just need somewhere under the awning to hang the items until they're done dripping and then they can be brought in for the night.
Thanks everyone!

We setup a 10x10 canopy behind our camper. This acts as a living room/screen porch so we have a dry area. Any wet towels or clothing is dried by hanging on the frame of the canopy.

The suv tents are awesome since it's closed and private with a floor.
I thought the texsport brand was best value in that genre and easy to pop up 10x10 7ft center.

If you have a little shower/potty tent, you can hang them in there, too.
