Been RVing since I was 10 with parents and a slide in Truck Camper with an Icebox (block ice) for fridge. Turn on Fridge day before, wait a bit, we wait 4 hours, then put already frozen stuff in freezer. Cooled or Frozen water bottles will also help cool the fridge part down more quickly if you are in a hurry. We usually freeze a case of water bottles, so when we go walking or attend races and other venues, we carry a frozen bottle or 2 of water in our backpacks.
Next day, normally morning, we load up fridge with condiments, already cooled liquids as well as fruits, and veggies, milk, and etc. We seldom worry about tight packing the fridge as it has always traveled well and the fridge is in the very back as we have a Rear Kitchen. In the pantry we use the friction or pressure bars against the walls of the cabinet to keep our canned goods tight. Glass items we tend to separate with non glass items, in the fridge and pantry or just wrap in a paper towel or dish cloth. Chips, breads and etc, we try and put in a cabinet where nothing might slide or fall. I swear chips turn to crumbs before the bag is opened but that's just a perception.
Bottom line, don't worry to much about it. Get your camper, Load up and get outside, all the other things will fall in line.
Oh as far as I can tell, there is NEVER a stupid question here and newbies are always welcome. These folks seem to like to educate and have ideas and experiences with twists that will help all. In fact sometimes its right down comical.
