Corelle, the easiest place to get it is from BigW. Just get the number of pieces you will actually use. One extra plate for serving & cutting tomatoes on is handy! Use the smaller bowls & plates as they are easier to store.

 

We folded up some coreflute & used double sided tape. The boxes had to fit an exact size in our car. The plastic des rub & edges do cut so stuck the loop half of Velcro on key areas & for feet.

We also have a set of 4 Corelle dinner ware in our van. Excellent product.

We also use Corelle, simply stacked in a cupboard with non slip matting on the bottom of the cupboard. Our glasses and coffee mugs are in a drawer with a thin piece of foam on the bottom and another piece of foam about an inch thick on top with circles cut into it that fit each glass/mug. Had it like this almost 10 years, travelled over all kinds of corrugated dirt roads without a single breakage. Storage containers we have a few clip lock plastic containers and also use zip lock bags a lot.

This is our storage solution.

Translucent plastic boxes that allow the contents to be seen and always where they are supposed to be.

Cheers,

Peter

Dougwe, you're not the odd one out as we have Melamine plates and bowls also. For day use whilst on the road we use Thermos mugs - saves putting on the gas and boiling the kettle. Have a couple heatproof cups that we got in the 1980's that are still going strong and a set of those old tin glasses that come in a pouch (vintage ha ha). All food, if not in a tin is in plastic containers, some snap lock, some tupperware and other brands. After a couple of run ins with mice over the years learnt to mouse proof all food stuffs. We have an assortment that fit nicely in our draws and cupboards. You will work out what suits you as you go along. Our motorhome is not fancy and we don't have fancy stuff, but everyone is different and hopefully we are all happy campers with our set ups. Cheers and enjoy.

Check out Vinnies and Salvos for Corelle plates, wine glasses, Nut Cracker (for crabs), flatware, pan/pots and cooking utensils - able to completely set up your new van for about $20/25 - also does some good for the community.

Good suggestion. 

We bought a motorhome in Germany a few years ago and did this. Got about 90% of what we needed.

Left it all in the MH when we sold it after 3 years touring.

We use plastic plates . I thought no they are supposed to be disposable type ? But wash them . Noting seems to stick to them ? Wash really easy !!! Carry 4 plates 2 blows, 2 cups . Depending how many are with us ?? Stainless cutlery . One thing we forget was can opener and screw cork remover !!

We have used Corelle dinnerware in our vans and campers for years without any special packing or storing , basically just the same as in the kitchen at home - cannot ever remember any breaking due to travel  (done some pretty rough roads too - Canning, Simpson, Gulf, Gibb etc...) Good gear - light and tough.

We just can't stand eating off plastic.

Usually have a set of 4 of everything in Corelle.

Glass wine glasses, 4 dinner plates 4 B&B plates, 4 noodle bowls, 2 large salad bowls, 1 melamite serving tray, 4 bone china coffee mugs. 2 egg cups 4 KF&Spoon 2 tea spoons

We always use table cloths.

Plates stored in wire racks & glasses/cups in wire frames screwed to the wall.

Magnetic knife rack holds 3 or 4 good knives.  Sharpening stones in kitchen drawers.

Full set of silicon kitchen utensils  .. spoon, egg slice etc.
