    The tumblers are plastic, too. 
    Too cute!  We had those glasses as well in our Tear Drop; went with glass this time and hoping that wasn't a mistake!  Love the red...and the cake plate!

    Thank you for sharing all this! Will refer to it often while outfitting my own T@B. I also use cloth napkins! I'm wondering about the dishes and stuff in the cabinets. Do your cabinets ever come open while you are driving?

    Do you happen to know what those baskets are called? I tried to find them on The Container Store's website but didn't have much luck.

    Me_and_My_Dog, I wandered onto Pinterest this weekend and saw people using plastic or wire stand up magazine holders to store plates in sideways so they don't bump around. Something like these:

    I use a drying dish rack for my dishes, bowls, mugs, glasses and silverware and a few other odds and ends.  Store it on top shelf under sink.

    @Me_and_My_Dog...we've not yet taken our T@B out but I would imagine that the dishes are safe and sound up there b/c the cabinets are a bit hard to open.  @HappyCamperWives...have you had any trouble?  I got the idea from one of their videos.

    @Homebodyatheart...I've seen those too but not in a T@B; it's a great idea!  We plan on using velcro on the bottom of our IKEA silver containers in our top big cabinet to hold those in place while we travel :)

    @Oreo...Sounds like you have a great set up ;) 

    @thelawgoddess...Here's the link in case you didn't see the one my hubby posted: https://www.containerstore.com/s/storage/decorative/hughes-crochet-storage-bins/12d?productId=11002778 

    @ericnliz...agreed!  I like cake too :)

    Thanks for posting the basket link. And I apologize for not seeing that someone else had already asked for it! They look so cute - now I have to decide how many to order. LOL.

    thelawgoddess - Oh...not a problem!  I just didn't want you to miss it...I have trouble in this forum finding stuff sometimes b/c our comments are not right on the original post!  We bought 6 larger sized baskets and 2 small ones...the small ones are perfect for our unmentionables :)  We'll each have 3 large ones to go in either the cabinets in the back or on the shelf...probably both :)

    I was thinking of storing clothes there.  On cold days, they'd be warm. :)

    Hey! No trouble with our cabinets opening and all of our plastic dishes and even some glass lids have been safe! The only thing we've run into is that spices fall over in the cabinets and spill all the time and the cabinets do have holes in the back so it spills everywhere...still figuring that one out...one night we came into garlic salt everywhere...smelled like garlic for two days haha  :o

    Run some duck tape (or similar) along the back edge of the cabinet base to seal that opening - My experience was celery salt everywhere :-)

    Oh good idea! We should probably invest in some twist lids too...

    I highly recommend having a roll of this tape around.  It would be perfect to solve the spice issue.  It's invisible once it's on, and has multiple uses.  I keep a roll around mainly for frame protection on our carbon bicycles, but it has lots of uses.  Also,  when you remove it, it doesn't leave a sticky residue around.   Supposedly it's used on the edges of helicopter rotors.

    We were thinking of some sort of small bungee in the front of the cabinet so nothing falls out and stuffing a towel in that cabinet while we're traveling.  We've never had any of these jars open up before (they were all in our Tear Drop) but I would hate to experience this either!  Like the tape (both of them) idea.  I had hoped to store them in a small container but, with the slanted back, that idea went out the window :p

    Thanks for the insight on this, ladies...our stuff fits nicely in those top cabinets.  Our original thought was going to store them down below until I saw your video; we like this way better :)

    Sandiegogal, you could fashion a curved back "holder" out of a cereal box or something if you wanted to. I saw a mod of one cut to hold rolls of plastic wrap and foil to keep them from wandering during transit.

    I'll have to check that out...thanks ;)  If you see the pic of our gutted A/C cabinet, you'll see the white skinny "holder" I used in our TD.  Wish I could find those!  I'm basically lazy :p
