+1 for Corelle. We also have a set of Graniteware coffee cups for use outside.

Stainless steel knives, forks and spoons.

Mostly washable plastic plates and bowls unless I'm feeling lazy---then paper plates. Stainless steel utensils always unless taking them to pot-lucks.

Coffee mugs ceramic.

X 3. I refuse to use styrofoam or paper cups so Corelle. Mostly paper plates but some things like steak or spaghetti need a Corelle plate in my books.

Depends on the type and size of RV.

If I were full timing it in a large RV, I'd wan't something nice - like I use at home, Corelle or similar.

SMall RV, weekend trips or 2-3 week vacations, paper and plastic for easy of cleanup/light weight.
I use some plastic plates that work well.

I had washing silverware, so I use plastic. Bought in a combat pack at Costco. 10 years later, I'm still using out of the same box from the house. I restock a small plastic container in the RVs as needed.

Plastic and paper plates. Plastic cups, plastic and regular silverware. Got rid of all the glassware and plates due to needless weight.

We use Corning "unbreakable" plates. They feel & look like real plates & usually don't break if they hit the floor. Then we put pads (get at Walmart) between them for travelling.

Corelle, the only way to go. Light and won't break even if yo drop them on the floor. We have them on our 5th wheel and at home.

Corelle for sure. I never use paper! Corelle comes in lots of patterns is light and thin and nearly unbreakable!

We use plastic plates, plastic cups, and regular silverware when we have full hookups. If we are boondocking or don't have water hookups, then paper and plastic utensils.

Glass or Plastic

We use melamine--just like the old but new and updated. Lightweight & sturdy.

Plastic or paper and stainless tableware. For short trips we tend to stick with paper to allow for more camping time. On longer trips what we use it is more or less based on what we are eating for that meal. For glasses and cups it is all reusable plastic or metal.

Paper or metal for plates and real utensils. My absolute best new addition last year were my retro aluminum drinking glasses. Love them...light weight, ice cold and koozies fit them.

We use Corelle for foods required to be cut with a knife and good quality paper plates for sandwich type foods. We use stainless silverware always. For cold drinks, we use retro aluminum cups and for coffee, we use thermos type cups.

Plastic, no desire to spend time washing dishes.

Walmart.

I bought the nice clear acrylic juice glasses, drinking glasses, wine glasses and plates to use in the camper. The only thing I haven't found is the nice acrylic bowls to match. We use stainless silverware because I really can't stand plastic eating or serving utensils.

X2! Corelle is the best if you like to eat on real plates and bowls. The anti-slip rubber material is great for shelf liners and between dishes.
