One of the most crucial aspects of enjoying food when you’re on tour will be packing the right crockery for a motorhome. After all, you’ll want to buy a product you can rely on to not break or chip if you accidentally drop it. That’s why choosing the best motorhome crockery can be such an important buy.
After cooking food in your ‘van’s kitchen with appliances such as the best air fryer for a motorhome or the best microwave for a campervan, you’re going to want the right crockery to serve up on, so you can sit back and enjoy your meal. This will be a set that isn’t just aesthetically pleasing but also durable.
Melamine is a popular choice for ‘van owners. This is because it is virtually unbreakable and has the added benefit of being chip-resistant. Another reason to avoid using normal household plates and bowls in your ‘van is the weight issue – the best motorhome crockery weighs significantly less. This will come in very handy when you’re loading your motorhome, providing the payload flexibility to bring other tour-enhancing accessories with you.
The design also plays a part in a good crockery set. This is something you’re going to see on a regular basis when you’re pitched up, so you’re going to want a style you actually like.
There’s a vast array of crockery for motorhomes on the market, so to simplify your buying process, we’re sharing our favourite options currently available, featuring Kampa, OLPRO and more.

OLPRO Signature 8-Piece Camping Dinner Set
- Set includes: 2 x dinner plates, 2 x side plates, 2 x bowls, 2 x cups
- Microwave safe: no
Reason to buy:
- A smart and stylish set
Reason to avoid:
- Not microwave safe
We think this OLPRO set provides a bit of style to the on-tour mealtime experience, with the rounded corners of the square-shaped plates and the off-white colour combining elegantly. The set includes two dinner plates, two side plates, two bowls and two mugs – and the latter comes with handles.
As they’re made with melamine, you get the added reassurance that these should provide durability and be able to withstand the rigours of the touring lifestyle.
Usefully, the post-tour freshen-up will be made easier by the fact that the set is dishwasher-safe, although we will highlight they are not suitable for use in the microwave.
Flamefield GG0112 Granite 12 Piece Melamine Dining Set
- Set includes: 4 x dinner plates, 4 x side plates, 4 x bowls
- Microwave safe: no
Reason to buy:
- Smart and stylish
Reason to avoid:
- Doesn’t come with cups
This set of crockery from Flamefield is another incredibly stylish option in our opinion.
It is made up of four dinner plates, four side plates, and four bowls and we think it would make a good choice for touring couples who want a set which provides a couple of spares or who are likely to have leftovers to store after a meal.
Ok, one thing we will highlight is that the set doesn’t include any cups, so you will need to buy those separately. There’s no getting away from the price either.
However, we think the granite effect looks great, while its melamine properties will ensure it should be a long-lasting and durable addition to your motorhoming setup.
VonShef 16Pc Marble Print Dinner Set
- Set includes: 4 x plates, 4 x bowls, 4 x tumblers, 4 x small plates

Reason to avoid:
- Doesn’t come with mugs
We think this marble effect melamine set would make a stylish addition to any motorhome kitchen, offering durability and an eye-catching design. We like how it’s suitable for use in a dishwasher, ideal for giving it an effective post tour clean too.
Something we will highlight is the lack of cups – instead, you’ll have to make do with tumblers. However, this does have one benefit – they can be stacked, so it’s easier to both store and transport them.
Leisurewize Mistrel 16-piece Melamine Dinner Set
- Set includes: 4 x dinner plates, 4 x side plates, 4 x bowls, 4 x cups
- Microwave safe: no
Reason to buy:
- Reasonably priced for what you get
Reason to avoid:
- The pattern may not be for everyone
We think this 16-piece set of melamine crockery from Leisurewize provides a fun pattern and a good selection of plates, bowls and cups – all at a fairly reasonable price.
As it’s melamine, it should provide the scratch-free durability you would want from motorhome crockery, giving you the confidence that unless you misplace any items, the set should last.
As it comes with four of each item, we think it could be a good choice for small families or couples who occasionally entertain friends. It’s a dishwasher-safe option too.
OLPRO 8 Piece Witley Melamine Set
- Set includes: 2 x plates, 2 x cups, 2 x side plates, 2 x bowls
- Microwave safe: no
Reason to buy:
- Well suited to solo campervanners or couples
Reason to avoid:
- A stylish set but one with a more premium price
This 8-piece set from Olpro is made with melamine to give you a durable set of motorhome crockery. Something that we particularly like is the pattern – it’s certainly one to add some flair to a mealtime.
We think this is a set which will be especially well suited to motorhomers who tour solo, giving them two side plates, two cereal bowls, two coffee mugs and two side plates, so they have a spare of everything should anything get lost. Usefully, it’s dishwasher safe too, so you can give it a thorough clean at the end of your tour.
There are also larger sets available, if you’re a particular fan of the set and are touring as a family, with 16- and 32-piece sets both available.

A good set of motorhome crockery can also play a part in enhancing the aesthetics of your meal, and we think this eye-catching melamine set from Flamefield would certainly do that. Coming with four plates, four side plates and four bowls, we like that you can use the melamine products without having to worry about them breaking if you accidentally drop them.
Our favourite thing with the set is the colour combination though – we think the shades works really well together.

- Set includes: 4 x cups, 4 x plates, 4 x bowls, 4 x side plates
- Microwave safe: No
Reason to buy:
- Comes with stackable cups, budget-friendly
Reason to avoid:
- Doesn’t come with cutlery like the 48-piece set
This blue and white set of motorhome crockery proves simplicity can sometimes be the way to go. The reasonably priced product comes with four bowls, four cups, four side plates and four plates, ideal for families on tour. We like that the cups are stackable too – touches like this help you save space and makes them easier to transport to the site in your ‘van.

This 48 piece set from RHM is made with natural material and food grade PP. The colourful set would certainly inject any motorhome’s interior with a splash of colour.
We like that, with four shades available, it gives you the option of having your own colour to use while you’re on tour.

How to choose the best motorhome crockery
Choosing the best motorhome crockery plays an important part in an enjoyable culinary experience when you’re on tour, whether it’s being used for serving up food from the air fryer or for a bowl of cereal in the morning.
To ensure you’re choosing the right set, it’s worth starting by working out how many of you will need crockery. If it’s only two of you, a smaller set will do the job – however, if you’re touring as a family or are a two who may be joined by the grandkids or friends, a bigger set will be the order of the day. Even if you are just a two, it could be worth ordering a 16-piece set, just so you don’t have to worry about losing a mug or plate along the way.
We’d recommend going for a virtually unbreakable material such as melamine – not only is it chip-resistant but it’s more lightweight than domestic crockery, and saves you from the potential hassle of having to pick up broken crockery in your ‘van.
Don’t forget to make sure you like the pattern too – it may not seem a huge point but bear in mind this is something you’ll be seeing on a regular basis, so it makes sense to ensure you like the design of them before buying a set.
