I love these things but found a problem with them. I put in 1/2 gallon of whipping cream laying down on its side. Regular spot for 1/2 gallon containers already had milk in it. Stopped 3 hours later and what a mess. Container rode on top of screw until screw poked thru the side and what a mess. Guess I'll turn them around and lose some room in frig but atleast the bolt won't be punchering anymore holes.

Just a heads up.

    I'm going to have to try this. Sounds simple, but effective. Thanks

  • I too bought into the braces but they don't stay attached. Anything moving around on a ruff road just pushes against it and dislodges it. Threw them all out

    But,


    Learned the hard way about items put in the door.
    I had the door loaded to the hilt with heavy items. It's what made the door open and words can't describe the mess.

    I now travel with NOTHING stored in the door panels of the fridge.
  • In 7 yrs of FT traveling weekly and in 40 yrs of camping have never found a 'need'
    for any of them braces/brackets in fridge

    Found out that stuff really doesn't move around much provided door is closed properly.

    If NOT......pickle juice, jalapeno juice and apple juice really make a big mess when door flies open during a turn :B
