Can I use this in an RV? Or will the jars break or pop out while I'm on the road?

The jars are very sturdy. I have the stainless steel option and I think that would be good for you. I might be a little worried about them kilnking together though. I do not shake test my herb rack so I do not know for sure.

The jar does not have any rubber gaskets, and the screw top is not all that tight, so I would sat it is likely not air tight. I only use it to store change.

You will want to be careful removing the dome with larger jars though. Just so you don't knock anything over.

I would not try it without covering the RV with plastic. I did and am glad I did so. You can accidently have spills and spatters and would be sick if it were down the side of your RV. plastic is so reasonable at Walmart and to pieces went around my RV and then some. The little bit of extra "insurance" is well worth it.

I have the screen for wide mouth quart jars. The screen is stiff but I did manage to get it into the jar without much difficulty. If you aren't gentle, you will bend it, but it can be bent back fairly easily. They are too big to push down through the neck without bending them a lot and I'm thinking probably take up too much room in a full jar to put them in vertically as I did, however, you might get a sharp metal snipper and trim them a bit and make it work - I don't see why not.

I have not used in travel trailer, however I believe it would serve you we'll in that environment. This is the very best shelf liner I have ever worked with to date, including ease of installing and protection of shelves. Highly recommend

I have shopped around and found this item always sold as a set. You're not alone though, I too always see the socket break and the mounting bracket be just fine. These RV drawer slide sockets are always breaking so do yourself a favor and buy a few extra, you will need them.

i would think so, but i do know these jar/ cups are pretty fragile, so be careful.

It can be used in a camper but i won't say it won't beep when you use the stove or oven. When we had our trailer we never could find anything that was more tolerant of the stove and oven.

Not really. I use jar lifters to get my jars in and out of the water. The rack works pretty well, I just wish the rings the jars sit on were closer. I have had problems with half pints shifting and staying in place during canning.

I have had no damage to any jar but I have not tried to open any that were canned at home. It does not take much pressure to open anything. You should be able to reuse them.

I bought three of these years ago to store fruit that I had dehydrated. They are attractive and with the wide mouth, it's easy to access the contents. In my mind, it all depends on whether you need them to be reasonably airtight. These jars are not. By the way, there is a small circular gasket in the lid that keeps it tight and prevents rattling (they don't screw on). That gasket came off on one of my three jars so it really is not usable anymore. Again, if it needs to be airtight, it is not. I hope this helps.

I also have had problems with the lids leaking. Also, the plastic of the lids is very soft. It warps easily. One week after buying my yogurt maker, one lid would no longer seat correctly on the jar. Last week I left 4 jars on the top of my stove while I had the oven on (not the burners). Just the heat from the oven warped the jar lids so much they would not come off. I had to turn the oven on again and soften up the plastic just to unscrew the lids. Luckily the lids are a standard size that many glass jars use. Watch your food purchases, save the lids from the jars some foods come in, and swap them out one-by-one. Throw away these plastic ones and replace them with metal ones that won't leak or warp. Just save them from jelly jars, olive jars, etc.

The jars are glass and the tops are plastic. I would not say they are as airtight as glass and metal would be. Suggest your get small mason jars as their lids have metal inserts with a rubber seal. Cheaper too.

I use as large as Quart size jars and as small as half pint jam jars. I used both the shorter but fatter jam jars and the taller narrower jars. With the narrower jars I just had to position them right so they didn't tilt but it wasn't difficult to position. This was my first year canning and I had ZERO problems with it all. Recommendation from a friend though do not leave the rack submerged in water while you aren't actively using it (she says it can cause rust)

When I owned it, I had mostly plastic jars and it was not sturdy. I paid alot for mine and everytime I pulled the drawer out, it pulled the other drawers out with it and it was frustrating I quit using it. Tried to give it away to anyone who wanted it beings it was still brand new and no one wanted it after they seen how it works.

I didn't use it in an RV, I used it in a cargo trailer. It did cause condensation on the metal in it initially. But this was because the trailer was not insulated in any way. So cold metal on one side (below freezing in winter) and hot metal on the other (heated interior) is going to cause that, I then insulated the trailer and the problem went away. Long story short, if your RV is insulated (as most if not all are) then there won't be condensation. These units are specifically made for RVs.
