Kitchen roll for plates and my fingers for cutlery. It saves on both space and washing up!

We've got a mix of both at the moment,but when I've built the overhead lockers and finished the kitchen unit , it will be all china.

We've got a mixture too... proper wine glasses, china cups and cereal/soup bowls but vintage melamine plates from our days with tents/trailer tent back in the 70s! If the bloomin' things would break or wear out we'd use china but we can't bring ourselves to throw them away when they've been so much a part of our lives all this time. I don't know... sentimentality about plastic plates - whatever next!

Jenny You could accidently leave the melamine in front of the wheels when you drive off.... Know what you mean though as that is why we still use ours. A New Forest pony did a good job on a cereal bowl and plate last year trying to get to the eggy bread (we were in tents at the time so open air cooking).

Definitely replaceable china & glass! Our taste buds don't cope with wine/beer out of plastic and the food doesn't seem to stay hot so long on plastic. Getting fussy in our dotage!

Mainly plastic, some melamine, but it is too expensive to buy much of

Falcon enamel 22cm rice plates for meals, platic poundland bowls for cereal, normal mugs for tea, BCB crusader for ale/rum/wine. Never starved yet.

Why do people use a lot of plastic plates for the camper vans?

I think it's do with weight and also to do with robustness. Getting thrown around in rucksacks or travelling in a van though in a good motorhome crockery and glass can be used.

Until driver brakes heavily, the cupboard door flies open and the contents end on the floor...... No names but HE is too nervous a passenger tone driven....

yup, what Vern said, means I have more payload for beer, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm beer, & they don't get damaged when flying around the van, either when braking, turning sharply or when Mrs g1nga finds out about the beer where her lady things should be whatever they are?

Neither really ;D Treated myself to Correlle wear when we got the new van. Have used and hated melamine for 30 years but couldn't bear to just get rid of it. - always used glass for wine though. It is light and very strong but expensive. I love it.
