I feel like this is a dumb question but the shelves on my new Four Winds have slick floors. I have installed that foam shelf liner but it just slides with everything on it. Is there anything out there that will stop stuff from sliding around? No sense in having organized cabinets when everything just piles up inside.

The foam liner has worked well in ours, but sometimes will use some "filler" items such as the smaller boxes of Kleenex, a roll of toilet paper, empty juice bottles, or other such items.Bill

You might try using some museum wax or even a couple well placed thumb tacks to hold the liner in place - if it doesn't slide, then your other stuff is unlikely to do so.Also, I have found the best solution is to fully pack the shelves. It's better to have 3 full cupboards and 3 empty, than it is to have 6 half-filled cupboards.

Balance the tires and you may have a lot less trouble.

It's a new MH so tires are good. The bottom of the shelves are a slick finish. I'll try tacking the liner down.Thanks all.

We use Rubbermaid style containers, or small baskets that fit inside the cabinets. We measured the cabinet sizes and then tried to find the baskets that, when configured side-by-side took up as much foot print as possible on the shelves of each cabinet. Because each container is smaller, things don't slide around "as much" and definitely do not have as much to slide around if they were just free standing in the cabinets. It's a small investment with a big pay-off. It's nice being able to open a cabinet door the first time after being on the road and not have half your stuff fall out and crash all around you.Those cabinets where the containers do not fit exactly, well, that extra space still holds items (just not contained), so we try to put items that, if they fall out, won't clobber us on the head too hard. Soft stuff, like towels, toilet paper rolls, paper towels, disposable cups or plates, stuff like that works very nice in those spaces. And because they are wedged in there, they don't move around either.We quit transporting items in the medicine cabinet above the sink. We carry all our medicines, deodorant, and such like items in a separate bag. If we are camped at one spot several days in a row, we'll take everything out of the bag. But before hitting the road again, all the medicine cabinet stuff goes back in the bag, mainly because that stuff has to come back into the house once home.
