Getting ready to start heading south for our first winter as full timers. Looking for ideas on how to ensure the fridge doors stay closed. Our fridge fits so tight I'm not sure I can get a ratchet strap around it. Hoping for more ideas.

I use two zip ties around both handles. So far, six trips and 1500 miles and they haven't opened up yet. Cheap and easy.

We use baby safety latchesThere are many varieties

My cardinal came with residential refrigerator. It has black surgical hose with hooks at each end that attach to the wood framing on either side of the fridge. There is one for the side-by-side upper doors, and a second elastic that goes across the pull out freezer drawer on the bottom.

x2 on zip ties. Cheap and fool proof.

I bought them on Ebay. They are peal and stick BUT I would add some extra super glue as the one that is only 2/3rds on the door pulled loose.

These look like a good idea. Do the suction on to the doors or stick on? Where did you buy them?

Like anything else on this planet - Amazon.

I bought a set for our daughter's home refrigerator as the gasket would no longer keep the door tightly closed. They worked terrific.

We use this

It works great for the top two doors. We use a pin and L-bracket for the freezer door.

We run a bungee thru both handles (upper freezer and lower fridge) then hook it to the sink faucet.

I use shock cord cut to length to secure adjacent cabinet doors closed while towing ...

No reason this wouldn't work with adjacent doors on a fridge. Zip ties are one use only so I consider Velcro One Wrap a better alternative.
