    Securing items in place in cupboards and on shelves?

    New owner. What do you all use for securing items in their place? I'm wondering especially about the open shelves in the closet on the 369rl. Feel like I'll need to install rails or some kind of netting. But really for anything in a cupboard, how does it stay put so it's not all falling out when you get to camp and open a door? And for dishes... Only non-breakable stuff?

    I have a 379. I installed a 5" board on the shelf in bedroom closet. It helps to keep hangers on rod and stuff on shelf

    In our 369 I bought canvas baskets from Walmart--the are framed in wire and canvas covered--we put clothes, shoes and whatever in them and they never fell off the shelves. They worked great! For the cabinets , especially, the medicine chest in the bathroom, I bought the smallest tension rods I could find and put them on each shelf. Also good for any kitchen cabinets you are worried about. Dishes, I bought the Corning Ware ones and have never had a problem. Just be careful when opening ANY cabinet after travel because stuff does shift!

    We use tension rods on the fridge and on the pantry and the medicine cabinet.

    For our wine glasses, we bought plastic bins that fit in the cabinet above the theater chairs then wrapped each glass in rubber no skid shelf lining material and place the glasses in the bins. We have also used the rubber no skid material that is placed under carpet to keep it from sliding. Never broken a glass.

    I don't have any issues with things staying put in the cabinets or closets. I have been thinking about doing extra shelves in the cabinets to organize things better. We did put the rubber shelf liner on the shelves.
    The hangers stay on the rod too.
