For drinking we keep 4 square polycarbonate glasses from Target in the cupboard.
We rarely use them because our number one choice is the two 16oz Tervis Tumblers we carry with us.
My husband uses his "Bike" or classic Airstream being towed by a bike version and I use a flamingo or pink flower version.
We have coordinating sipper lids for each.
These are great because they are plastic, fit in our vehicle drink holders, double as coffee cups and they do not sweat with cold drinks.
We do not carry mugs or wine glasses as we do not consume alcoholic beverages.
We also carry a various number of sports bottle depending on what type of biking we plan to do. One shorty for CX races and 4 talls for centuries and long rides.
I keep a stack each of disposable drink cups and insulated cups w/ lids for company.

With a 30' trailer galley space isn't at that much of a premium, and so if you like to cook, pick out pans that will work for you. Like many other posters I do have one Griswold cast iron pan in the trailer despite its size and weight. I have a cooking style built around it and am not comfortable in the kitchen without one. The balance of my cookware is some older Caphalon that was given to me. The Caphalon pieces are heavy-gauge aluminum. I've chosen a combination that nests well. The Caphalon handles work well for that.
The yacht guys all seem to use one of the several sets with detachable handles but I believe most of them have to work with a smaller galley than we do.

Mmmmm, Pfaltzgraf. So pretty, but too bulky and heavy to suit our needs in the Interstate.
I am a dedicated lover and collector of fine coffee mugs, so we have to have a few of our favorites with us for morning coffee and tea whenever. Doug would drink out of anything, but not I. A nice mug is one of life's little pleasures, and a favorite indulgence. Morning coffee with a campfire........a little bit of heaven on earth.

I agree 100%. Coffee tastes better out of your favorite mug. Mine has a picture of the AS on it. Sal.

I got the nesting pots from Camping World - and only recently had the TA-DA moment to stack them facing down. Before I always struggled to pull the littlest one out of the stack to get to the next and the next. Upside down, you only need one piece of anti-slip matting and you easily pop off the outer one until you reach the size you want. I stow the handles on hooks inside the door of the cabinet where the pots are. These changes alone gave me room to store the cast iron skillet, corn muffin pan and dutch oven.
I also realize I almost never use my sink covers, thanks to another member's suggestion, I now I stow them UNDER the kitchen drawer on the floor. Once every three months or so I MIGHT have to pull them out and use them.

I agree the sink covers are a waste. Usually just use one to make room for the coffee pot. Sal.

I agree 100% also. Although Pfaltzgraf is pretty, it is bulky and heavy and I just got rid of a big set in favor of Corelle.
I too have to have my favorite coffee mug! I will make the space!!

My daughter bought me a set of Grannyware (enamel plated metal) from a thrift store when she was 7. It's classic camp table ware, can go on the grill or campfire, and is the main reason we have never bought a microwave

I just ordered a set of green enameled stainless dinnerware by CGI. It looks great from the photos. When it arrives, I'll let you know! Seemed like the best of all worlds.

What is CGI? I don't normally like stainless for dinnerware but with so many users it might just be worth looking into.

Considering that this will be our "home", I just can't stomach eating off something other than glass long-term, so we're taking the chance and bringing along glass dishware (well-packed when we're on the move). We got a super cheap set at IKEA, so we won't be too devastated if we soon find out it's a naive decision. We're taking along four of the six bowls, plates and salad plates, and leaving the extras with friends, so we have back-ups.
For pots and pans, we're just taking along our favorites from home — a couple pots and a couple pans. The space-saving comes in the form of the lids. We got a couple accordian-collapsing silicon bowls (that can serve double duty as mixing bowls and storage containers. They have silicon lids that can withstand high heat, and because they create a suction, they'll fit any size pan.

I splurged on a set of nesting silicone bowls, which mix, store in the frig and microwave nicely.
Be careful with the collapsing bowls, I was given one and found they can collapse when you don't want them to. Hard to stir and mix something without putting any pressure on the sides.

Oh, good to be aware of Maggie! I actually only got them because of the lids (I saw some standalone silicone lids at a fancy cooking store long ago, but they were discontinued and the only good options I could find came with these bowls.) The bowls seemed handy too— I've got a drawer-full over silicone items now (measuring cup, bowls, etc, etc) that would have taken up a cabinet's-worth of space at home with "standard" glass/metal items.

I find the Correll to stack nice and tight, and it's durable. Paul Revere classic for pots and pans. The new versions of this coppered bottomed classic are thin-walled (to cut costs) but also makes them light weight. Lodge cast iron in various shapes and sizes. Polycarbonate tumblers and wine glasses.
A couple of Pyrex casseroles and bowls for the oven. And a couple of stainless steel mixing bowls bought at a restaurant supply. (cheaper and properly shaped)
Target has some nice "natural" utensils, steak knives, etc. with wood handles and I also have a couple bamboo salad bowls.
Along with the copper bottom pots, the wooden handles match the styling of my '72 very nicely.

Corelle
We are settled in TX for a month after just picking up our new AS from Colonial. I finally broke down and bought Corelle Pro in "Harmony" print. Love it already!
