Measure the pans before you put food in them.

(Dinner is half an acorn squash stuffed with an apple/cinnamon/pecan mixture, half of a huge chicken breast marinated in Dijon and white wine, and a big green salad)

Miranda has solid wood doors but, for some unfathomable reason, the cabinet casings are made of laminate, which is essentially paper. High contact areas as well as high moisture areas break down the top layer of the laminate, revealing that it isn’t wood, and making the RV look shabby. The solution is surprisingly simple and extremely cheap. When I see an edge being worn down, I rub with a putty pencil, and then buff the surface. These ‘pencils’ actually look like giant crayons and come in several colours. For Miranda, I have to combine ‘light oak’ and ‘walnut’ to get her particular shade of woodwork. Besides the cosmetic improvement, the wax protects the surface from further damage.
