Thanks! Makes sense. I saw those fridge bars at Walmart but it didn't occur to me what they were for.

 Where abouts in NC are you? We're in Concord.

We bought some wooden crates on sale. Those work great for organizing the kitchen cabinet and keeping things from banging around. We have the Magma nesting cookware. That set rides in a crate along with an induction cooktop. Other items ride in other crates. Rather than have to dig through a crowded cabinet to get the item that inevitably slides to the back of the cabinet, one just has to remove the crates to access the items easily.

For the pantry, Aldi had some metal mesh rectangular bins on sale, so I bought a bunch of them. The fit the pantry perfectly. Unfortunately, Aldi does not stock them regularly, so a different source would need to be found. With cans and glass, having them in these bins means they ride with much less risk of breakage.
For the refrigerator, the refrigerator bars (either single or double) that are adjustable, spring-loaded bars work great for keeping things on the shelf I also use one or two for the kitchen shelves to keep some of the appliances from shifting during travel. They are quite useful for those items too tall or large for a crate.

You can also find items like plate holders that have a non-slip backing to hold your plates. They work well. When we had the accident, they kept our Corningware dishes in place, so we did not have any broken dishes.

Just moved up from a pop-up to this new 179 thing...Big smile   We always kept the kitchen stuff (pots, pans, utensils..) in the drawers of the pop-up.  I know they moved and bumped around some but never really suffered any damage.  We kept everything else in the TT in boxes.  The 179 has lots more storage for more kitchen items and food (pantry) and I would love to leave most everything in there.  What do you guys keep in the trailer during your trip?  How do you keep it secure?  Any cans or glass stuff in the food storage?  Pots, pans, drinking cups, coffee makers??  Same question for the fridge?
Thanks!
