Refrigerator shelf ideas?

[tommymsw]

I bought a used RV and all but one shelf is missing. They are really expensive to replace but also I feel the design is all wrong for an RV.

Rather than have normal shelves, I think they should be shallow trays. So things can't slide off.

I have been looking at many ideas from metal organizers to even a dish rack that would fit.

I am open for ANY ideas.

I did find it at RV Upgrades, for $29.31 + shipping $8.99 to your location, total $38.30.

Although it is a Norcold Product,it fits nicely in my Dometic RM 2652, is only $28 and no more folded lettuce :B

Thanks all for the advice. Now I have too many ideas though. 🙂

You can buy spring loaded rods made specifically for RV refrigerators. It is similar to a spring loaded curtain rod only about 24(?) inches log but adjustable. They fit on the horizontal across the open side.
I have used them for many years in our trailer and have not had anything fall over, spill or fall out when I open the door. Camping World advertises a "double refrigerator bar" for $6.39.

We too use the spring loaded rods in the fridge to keep items on the shelves. Work great (we use them during travel, but remove them once we are set up at our site). In fact, we also use one on one of our pantry shelves that store some tall items; those items used to fall over during travel and jam the pull out pantry, but no more!.

I bought some white plastic bins from Walmart. They come in various sizes and have holes in the sides for air flow.. I put all our condiments in one and meat and cheese in the other. Easy to just grab the bin and take whole thing out to the table.. They are located beside the dish drainers and shelf organizers at my Walmart.. I use them in the pantry too as the gray handles flip back and you can stack them.. I would add a pic but couldnt figure it outhaha.

Did you read the sticky at the top about posting pictures?
That app makes it a simple cut/paste operation.

My NORCOLD has that same crisper bin and I made a moveable sectionalizer out of acrylic that is shaped like a "T" with with the long part equal to the depth and a little shorter than the height of the crisper with the two shorter legs about 3" each. That way I can slide it and made two sections any size I want as long as the smallest one is 3" which is one of the short legs of the "T". Generally one side is for DW's insulin pins that are kept in a zip loc.

🙂 Hi, I like your idea of one larger tray instead of two smaller ones. Hard to make things fit in the two little trays.

Yep. Had to jury-rig in my garage fridge when the glass shelf at the bottom broke.

If it's one of the very common sizes and brands, stop by a CW on Sunday. There will be a fenced area in the back or side of the building that has a number of dead fridges in it. Take your pick.

Any junkyards around with RV. How about rv maintenance shops that have old or useless fridges.
