We use the Viva paper towels. They are highly absorbent, soft and do not unroll when traveling. We went to the Viva brand after discovering a whole roll of the cheap stuff had taken over the galley.

We have a paper towl holder mounted on the side of the upper cabinet in the kitchen. It is not visable unless you are at the sink in the galley. We found it at Lowes and the roll just loads on an open arm. We are very happy with it and agree with another post, that when we are working in the kitchen and have hands and surfaces messy, we would rather pull off a sheet of towel than have to look under a cabinet, or pick up the entire roll for just a couple of sheets. We did have one problem with the towels coming off and onto the floor on one trip. But our bathroom mirror also came off the hinges on that trip - thanks to miss recalculating - who lead us down one of the most pothole roads we have ever been on.

Here's My Solution
Mine is concealed behind the middle overhead locker above the sink on my 2002 ASCL 31'. With the locker door closed I can draw down a paper towel from anywhere in the kitchen.

Towel Holder
I can't take credit for it but the PO mounted a plastic towel holder above the sink that slides horizontally on its' mount to move outward towards the emtry door for easier access. When it's slid back into place it's almost directly over the left sink. Great location for the towels as I'm constantly reaching into the trailer, without entering, to grap a towel for some task I'm working on outside.

I'm still a counter top person, because I didn't want to open a door to get to it. However, I did find a heavier brushed nickel holder with a non skid bottom and I only use Viva towels, which don't unroll by themselves. So far it has never moved from the counter on even the bumpiest of roads.

Paper Towel Holder Location Solved
I finally solved the answer to "where can we hang our paper towel holder?" In the 25 foot floorplan of our Airstream there was no place with a footprint large enough to accomodate a paper towel holder (due to components already taking up real estate on the walls ... like microwave, light switchtes, monitoring system, etc.). I was able to mount the paper towel holder on the side of the range hood. Photos attached.

Nice Glee! We have the same holder Frank and Mike used but mounted ours on the door under the sink in the Bambi. Of course Zlees matches the AS perfectly!

The Home Despot. It's the InterDesign Orbinni wall-mounted paper towel holder -- their website only has it in bronze. If you can't find it at your HD, let me know and I'll go get you one from mine.

I wanted to put mine in the door too, but no space.

paper towel holder
We had the same dilemma and just bought a "simplehuman" brand at Bed Bath and Beyond. It is nice to get it off the table. It is installed to the right of our range hood and is mounted to the bottom of the upper cabinet that is above the sink and the holder runs from the front of the underside of the cabinet to the back ending where the wall is. We bought some shorter screws for installing it since the ones it came with were a little long and would have extended through to where we keep our dishes. It is easy to rip a towel off at the kitchen work area when your hands are dirty or wet. It fits perfectly between the hood and the sink window in our 25'FB and the black and stainless matches the trailer too.
Our model is a 2010 Flying Cloud so I don't know if your sink configuration in the International is the same as ours. Hope it works for you!!
