Maybe daft questions but here we go. When you are travelling to a site how do you secure things that are kept in cupboards or do you empty everything out and place over the axles. (Such as tinned food). My next question is Pots and pans. Do you use normal household pans and plates or lightweight stuff. I have plastic plates from my camping days but surely food tastes better on proper plates.

We really like the corelle plates and dishes, but not so keen on the mugs - the mugs are not actually the unbreakable corelle.  We prefer our special mugs:

One more tip, we buy most of our caravan cockery and glasses from charity shops. That way, if they do get broken or chipped, they haven't cost us a fortune.

When I was buying things for the caravan, I bought some silicone rectangular tubs from somewhere like B&M/Home and Bargains. About 30x20x15cm. Wish I could remmeber where, as I would like some more! They fit the overhead lockers perfectly. Anyway, we put food in them and leave them in the cupboard. They don't slide around, and cans etc. don't fall out, as there is a large lip on the basket. I also have various plastic tubs for rice, pasta etc. in case of spillage. Someone said olive oil can explode in winter(!), so that is always in a plastic tub too. Easier to lift stuff out of overhead cupboards too. Just need to find a solution to sort out the glasses/mugs/awkward shaped stuff cupboard. Oh, and for saucepans, Sainsbury's had some very light 'normal' saucepans, which have been great so far.

Our package of Corelle has just arrived from Amazon.  We did not unpack it as it is obviously far too heavy.  We will continue with the melamine for now.

Write your comments here... That is a surprise Qashqai as Pippah in a very early post was extolling how light it is. Perhaps you have a large amount in your box. I was looking to use Corelle which I understand can be used in a microwave. At present we make do with fairly thin crockery and will now probably stick with it.
