If anyone has their van parked up for a long period this time of the year, a good ‘Tip for the day’ is, make sure you open all cupboards, doors to create one space, so that if you have heating in there, you don’t subconsciously create colder ares where condensation will form.

Also good to drop the drop-down bed if applicable, which is what I do.

Also pump the brake pedal now and again, dont use the h brake, leave it of, also dont run the engine for short bursts, better to take it for a we drive which also throws oil round the g box, also watch for a sticking clutch plate, hence the we drive.

Anything to create good air circulation is a positive.

We decided that melamine was a compromise too far for us when motorhoming so bought a set of Corelle crockery around 10 years ago and they look as good now as the day we bought them. Better than eating off plastic plates we think and lighter than home china.

Corelle City Block 12pc Dinner Set – Camper Life – Caravan & Motorhome Toilet Blue

We got ours for around 40 quid for a set in a sale at a caravan dealers shop. Safe for microwaving plus a nicer feel than eating off melamine we think.

We prefer plain plates then if one get broken easier to replace, beside the only pattern we want to see is food.

they dont break & the pattern is what the wifes like to dress up the table for xmas/n/y/day .cheyenne

We use ordinary ceramic plates and melamine, the melamine ones go between the ceramic plates to stop rattles.

We got our melamine set from Costco a couple of years or so back on a visit with Charlie. You can microwave ours no problem as I put half the set in the house when I was reducing van weight. Folks don’t think it’s melamine as they don’t look like camping stuff does, quite a lot heavier.

Just check before you buy. Some doesn’t microwave and some shatters into an awful lot of pieces when dropped

I think it's toughened glass. Certainly more homely than melamine anyway.
