I know this is a bit far fetched, but has anyone made a special spot in there camping trailers for carrying their spices? I have an appointment Friday with our friends Cabinet shop Were we are working together to build cabinets For our cookware, as well as our pantries were in the process of accessorizing the trailer. so if you have any insight please let me know

Not far fetched at all!! When I built my little camping trailer I wanted a spice rack. I tried to model it after the 1950's diner look. I had a big open space at the back of my galley that was the perfect location.
Ready to install.
Much better!

Do you leave your spices like that while you are towing?
I also need to figure out how to store my spices - but I drag mine teardrop off-road, and have to solidly secure the small items.

Small metal tins secured by magnetic strips is what Alton Brown uses in his kitchen cabinets.

I do leave the spices there and they get bounced around a bit. I just straighten them out when I get to camp. Yeah, for offroading you would need a secure way to transport them.

I wanted a spice rack in my chuckbox project, but the box I ended up buying to modify didn't quite offer me the space I needed. However, I was able to carve out space for a spice drawer. Now I'm on the hunt for some small containers to fit the drawer. Anyone know of something around 2" tall (or a bit less), and preferably 1-1/2" square or so? Square would be key to avoiding wasted space vs. round containers...

About the only downside I can see is they are glass, but if you size your rack\drawer just right they will fit in nicely and not move around.

I bought the same rack as in this web blog page for my trailer (I can't seem to find them on Ikea's website though!). I am planning on running some elastic across the top to keep them from popping out.
