How do you secure things on the galley counter?

Snow has to be going soon so I'm trying to nip out the last things for our first trip in the T@G Boondock XL. With the limited space available for storage, I'm thinking we should utilize the galley counter for various sundries in some type of storage containers.

If you do this, how do you retain them (ie. keep them from sliding around and potentially damaging the inside of the galley door)?

    I usually just use dish towels to cover things and let them slide. Most things are jammed in tightly enough that they don't really move.

    We don’t leave anything hard on the counter. We move all knives and metal unincils to the cabinet. Only Paper towels, dish cloths, etc. The inside of the clamshell is soft and can be punctured or cut easily.

    It definitely is easily punctured. Managed a hole already (pot handle sticking out when I was test fitting something). Need the room for a bin or two of non refrigerated items and other misc kitchen items though.

    It’s actually concern for punching through driving the question. In a tiny space it’s just too much wasted space not to use. Would be nice if it had some hooks to mount bungies with but pretty sure it’s not solid wood.

    I made a vinyl bag, but we only have dry food in it. The vinyl kind of stick to the coumter top preventig a bit of sliding and it also protect the trailer walls from what is in the bag.

    We only store our roll up camp rug on the counter.

    I have a basket with low sides that I place items in. I put non-slip fabric under the basket and have not had a problem with the basket moving during travel.

    New silicone baking sheets help keep things in place on the galley countertop, also help to protect it. Those that have been used for baking can be slippery with residual cooking oils, they don't work as well.
