Our plates are in a drawer. They are Corelle so can take a bit of bumping without breaking. We have matching cups. We also have a set of plastic cups. Of course silverware is in a drawer in silverware dividers.
Food items in the cupboards are all in small plastic bins (Wall Mart). We did have to look around a while to find the right size so they would configure to use the most space without gaps. Then small items, cans, everything is packed in them. When one container gets emptied, the remaining items get merged into another one that is getting emptied to keep the items tightly fit. We don't even think about this any more, we just do it.
Other cabinets, we use bins also. Everything else, like pots and pans and lids, are just packed tightly so they don't move around. Clothing is on hangers, but things like socks and undergarments are also in smaller bins in the cabinets, since we don't have a dresser with drawers.
Now, for a trailer or 5er, this arrangement works pretty well. When traveling we are in the truck and can't hear all the banging and rattling in the camper. If we were in a motor home of any kind, I'm sure we'd do MUCH more to sound proof all that rattling around.
For motor home travel, I just imagine they use a lot of cushion between items to knock down all the rattle sounds.
