How to Choose Dishes for Your RV

When choosing the dishes for RV use, the most important things to consider are:

  • Durability: RV dishes should be able to withstand bumpy roads, and repeatedly packed away or sometimes stored in unusual climates. (ex. if your RV is kept in non-climate-controlled storage when not in use)

  • Care: Unless your RV is equipped with a dishwasher, you will likely be handwashing all dishes. There also may be times when you do not have access to water or sewer for thorough dishwashing

  • Use: Depending on what RV life looks like for you, from roughing it to resorts - consider how you will be using your dishes. Should they be microwave safe?

  • Sustainability: Paper plates and plastic cups may be useful without access to water hookups, but they aren’t the most sustainable option for long-term use

Durable Dishes for RV Use

The most common types of dishes that are safe for RV use will include:

  • Melamine: made from a lightweight, durable, and heat-resistant material. Melamine dishes are very durable, which makes them a popular choice for RV and camping use

  • Bamboo: typically created with a food-grade, non-toxic adhesive that adds another layer to their durability. Bamboo plates are long-lasting and sustainable

  • Enamel: stainless steel dishes that are coated in enamel makes them incredibly durable. This can also make enamel camping dishes heavier than other options

  • Corelle Ware: popular lightweight glass dishes that consist of a 3-ply laminate that makes them virtually unbreakable
