BTW -- what's your plan to keep doors closed when you turn sharp corners running all over the country?

I think all F&P is pricey. Plan for the doors is there's no plan yet. Been thinking temporarily using a bungie, but need to experiment more once things are setup finally. Today is the day Americans get to exercise their rights so no progress will be made today.

Late last night, I saw that F&P operates a 24/7 support line and I needed to know if I could put brackets against the side or top to hold the unit in place. The person on the phone was quite helpful in stating that the coils are placed all along the sides and the top of the unit and drilling anything would likely cut a hole in the coils, I'd lose gas and the fridge would be toast. She apologized for not being more helpful and I thanked her for being VERY helpful in preventing me from making it another thing for the trash bin. So a little more planning on ensuring it's anchored in place and not able to tip is in store for today. She did state we could anchor the bottom to the floor, which we already planned on doing but still need to ensure no top heavy tip will occur. Funny part was she added that even if they could provide me a picture of where the coils are supposed to go, at assembly time things shift a little this way, that way and they can't state for an absolute certainty where those coils might be!

Nope... our T wood thingy broke.... let the freezer door go flying out

3" wide strap of velcro better in my book

When not in use it just hangs so we can remember it....

They are french doors with long vertical handles and a horizontal handle on the freezer door on the bottom. Much like the picture Di posted.

OK, that's the strap while stopped, what's it look like when driving? Does it go to the side someplace to stick to the other piece?

Note to self: pick up some wide velcro straps...

[Diwizi]

Carl.... we are stopped but will do it just for you.......

The bungees are connected, the cloth prevents scratches..

Thanks Di! It's much better to visually see how things are setup. Now I totally understand what your approach is. Thanks again and you can get back on the road now

What do the Moho manufacturers use when the sell an RV with a residential fridge already installed?

There is a product on the market but it looks as if you have to drill holes.

I use magnetic child locks to keep Sena out of doors and drawers. They use very powerful rare earth magnets. I would think someone would invent a fridge latch that uses magnets.

For our fridge I use a small bungee with a ball on 1 end from the fridge handle to a large hook screwed into the underneath side of the upper cabinet next to the fridge. Sena learned how to open the RV latches on the Dometic after only living in the RV a week.
