Scout out a few thrift stores...you're bound to come across Corelle there and hopefully you'll find your pattern.

Yeah, not much of a problem with ours either but we don't use baskets or any other separators. the type of anti-slip rolls we bought looks very similar to the "foamy" type stuff that goes under area rugs to keep them from slipping on tile or hard wood floors. It is slightly sticky. I think we bought it at Casa de Depot (HD).

Re the vinyl shelf liner.....I just lay it out and, yes, from time to time I find some things have slid to one end. Not a huge problem since I am a huge fan of organizer/basket/thingys. Just lift out the 3 or 4 baskets, straighten the liner and replace the baskets. Less than a 5 minute job. I don't know that a hot melt glue gun would help matters. Think the truly hot one would melt the vinyl and the cool melt just doesn't work as well. No more often that this happens, I wouldn't worry about it.

Same here, unless I'm having lasagne or a meal that includes lots of melted cheese, making dishes too time and water consuming to clean. In those cases I resign myself to paper plates.

wife insists on real but I'd love to go to plastic. We do use paper plates(chinet)

how do u keep the plates from moving

That anti-slide stuff that comes in rolls, mentioned in a earlier reply, that goes on the cabinet base, then we cut a circle out of the same material, it's cheap, for each plate/bowl. Place that circle between each plate/bowl and they will not move or walk around. We use this method for our Corelle dinnerware.

If somehow you still get the plates to move around, I'm thinking you have much bigger problems to worry about :)

Agree on all of the above. We eat as good as (maybe better) when we are camping than at home. Matter of fact our upcoming new RV (Flagstaff Super Lite 27RLWS) is kind if kitchen-centric with a huge counter that has an extension! I can have a buffet layout now. :)

Same here.

We used to use the metal with enamel coating ware like you see in Walmart camping section but they are too heavy. Then when we upgraded to the hybrid we wanted something more presentable and Corelle was the best option. Light, decorative, and they travel well when packed properly. Oh, and the can go in the microwave as well.

Just bought two sets of Corelle for our new to us 5th wheel. Our other TT also has Corelle, like the look and have never broken one yet.
