Because of the "bouncing" at the rear of the 5th wheel coupled with the location of the kitchen cabinets at the rear, the contents of the cupboards (dishes, eg.) are more prone to bouncing and breakage. We stuff a pillow in the cabinet that houses our dishes and make sure that they are placed on a non-slip surface (Scoot Guard or something similar). Also make sure that the rear cabinet doors are secure and will not "fly open" when travelling.
We did have one "accident" and found that one of the cupboard doors had opened and we ended up with a mess of broken dishes scattered over the floor. Since then, the precautions we have taken have paid off and no more "whoops"!
