Subject: The disaster that is my dishes cabinet in my travel trailer

For those of you with travel trailers, how do you keep the dishes in your cupboards from sliding, toppling and becoming a mess while in transit. I have tried the no slide matts but that really only works on the bottom plate. The other plates on top and bowls slide around. The glassware (all plastic) topple and move all around. Everytime I stop to setup camp, I have reorganize my cupboards.

Please share your methods of organizing RV cupboards. Pics would be great if available.

Thank you!

I have no trailer, but couldn't you put a no-slip mat between each dish?

for us, If it isn't cooking bowls or pots/pans or maybe some tupper ware containers that all fit into each other, plastic/paper plates,bowls,cups and weapons is how we always rolled. (less dishes to do, and clean up is alot easier.)

we did keep real coffee mugs(on hooks under the cabinets) and real metal utensils...

we also kept all of that stuff on the bottom and put the food and other items up top.

half-way inflate balloons and close the doors on them between the stuff on the shelves and the door.

I stuff the cupboard full so there's not a lot of movement. Our leaf-spring trailer bounces enough for a 20+ lb water jug to bounce all over the place so I've given up trying to be neat with loose items.

Being in the Navy I tend to ride ships for a living. I'm fairly sure the ocean can be more brutal than most roads and that moving dishes usually doesn't become a problem until extremly rough seas.

Non-slip mats under each dish stack should be sufficient provided you don't stack your dishes extremely high (physics of height to base width or something of that nature I'm sure).
