How is your fridge secured?

Question

...so it won't tip over or slide when you go around corners.

I have a ratchet strap around mine, but I figure the pros must have a fancier method. And I am thinking about putting something bigger than a dorm fridge in my next van!

Is yours held in place with metal brackets of some sort? Wood framing?

Meant for stove but you can find them to fit the little leveling legs on most residential fridgesuse four if possible

Oh, nice!  Thank you, darsben :).But, hmm, I would have to drill holes and seal them, in the drip pan I have under the fridge.  Do 'real' RVs not have a pan?  Seems scary...

Seems scary...Holes get drilled in floor of coach. Legs slide into holesYes, I understood that :).  But I am often away from power for days at a time, and this sometimes means the freezer defrosting. Not unplanned, but it is good to have a pan underneath.  Which makes drilling a problem.
