Dennis M Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 DW puts small pieces of quilted rubber shelf liner between each plate and bowl; glasses are put in small brown paper bags; shelves are covered with the same rubber liner material and coffee cups just placed upside down.

LFDR3116 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 The rubberized shelf liner can also be purchased at dollar stores . Smaller rolls, but then the cupboards are smaller too. I found the smaller rolls to be just the right size for mine. Pat DeJong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velos Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Another difference in the various rubberized shelf liners is the density of the rubber and the size of the perforations. The link refers to photos of differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 New tube socks make good glass holders. You can then lay them in a drawer if you want to do so.

pintada Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 My dishes are kept in drawers, which eliminates the chance of them tumbling out of cabinets. The rubberized cloth (found in the kitchen section of Walmart and other stores) placed on shelves, will aid in keeping items from sliding around.

KodiakJack Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 DW uses the rubberized liner between some items but mostly just uses paper plates and bowels between breakable dish ware.

mysticmd Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have had zero luck with the rubberized, perforated shelf liner rolls - it all bunches up over a trip and I find it wadded up to one side. I don't glue it down as I want to clean the shelving from time to time. I've tried a couple different weights of this material to no avail. Do you think it could be the driver?!!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianT Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 We're of a similar mindset to Pleinguy. We put things that are breakable into places where they can't move around very much and just go. Much of our stuff is not that delicate. It takes quite a lot to break the Corelle glassware type dishes. And most of our drinking glasses are cheap plastic. Mugs get set upside down in an area where they can't move much either. I don't think we've had anything break in the last few years, at least because of traveling. Then again, we don't travel nearly as much as some of you. When we do, though, the ride just hasn't been that rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa_desert_rat Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 We also use the Corelle dishes and bowls and the plastic glasses (they make pretty nice ones now) and have had zero problems with breakage (even though we don't travel as much as many of you do, either). But our motor home doesn't seem to dislodge much stuff. The other day I went into the RV's bathroom and noticed that the glass I drank from the morning we left on the last 400+ mile leg home was still right where I left it... on the countertop next to the sink; still half full of water.

skp51443 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 That is a lot of bouncing, we used the rubber pads and never had one move on us. You must be bouncing hard enough to put your dishes up in the air which is a scary thought. You might want to look into doing something to calm the bouncing down as it is very hard on the RV's structure when it is as bad as yours sounds.

CathyinMB Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've lined every shelf with the cushioned liner and used double sided tape to keep it place. Actually the tape was my husbands for his golf grips but shhh don't tell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdeLVice Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 We use Corelle also. I got very fed up with the rubber waffle matting bunching up under everything and just wanted something simpler. I used a trick I saw online - putting a bead of clear silicon around the bottom of each plate, saucer and bowl. It didn't take as long as I thought it might to do each one, and I let it set for a day. I was skeptical at first thinking it would just peel off when the dishes were washed, but so far so good. Now there is no need to use any dividers between plates, saucers, or bowls - they all have their own! It has only been a couple of months, so I am waiting to see how it works long term. I still put my good glass glasses and wine glasses in socks (new, never worn socks. lol!) Leslie I had a TV around here, a black and white job, but after I built it, I lost interest. Heinlein.

sandsys Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 My Corelle did not slip and slide. I just stacked like things together with smaller ones on top of larger ones and they stay there. When I bought new casserole dishes they came with a plastic liner packaging for the lid and I kept those. They led the lid sit upside down in one casserole than another casserole sits on top of that one. My best purchase, I think, was the 9" pie plate--works as a plate, a soup dish, or a serving platter. I can put about 16 deviled egg halves in one to take to potlucks using the domed lid to protect them. I would not be without my Corelle/Corning dishes. Linda Sand ps. forgot to say we bought ours at an outlet store. Many outlet malls have Corning stores.

SWharton Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 We use Corelle and bought some solid heavy shelf liner that seems to do the job(Walmart). Nothing moves around or has been broken in many years as we move from RV to RV. Tube socks for wine bottles and wine glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
