Residential refrigarator

[hfellis]

I have a new holiday rambler vacationer that has a residential refrigarator. Need help keeping the item inside from sliding and door latch tight. Have used bars inside but they are not tight enough. Anyone have any suggestions. Motorhome specialist where I bought it has been no help.

we use several 'Fridge Binz' to carry anything that might slide around and all shelves have some of the 'no-slip' fabric that are seen in many cabinets.



as for securing the door, ours came equipped with the same type of positive latch that are on many cabinets and drawers. so far no problems with the doors opening on curves, over curbs, etc.

I use a couple of flip up window latches to secure our residential fridge doors. I painted the underside of the flip handles with a bright nail polish so we can tell at a glance that we remembered to latch them when getting under way. To keep items from sliding around, we use Camco double spring bars.

Very nice! That is a great idea!

Foam rubber from an old bed topper. 🙂 Also get a magnetic tool bar and it will hold the fridge shut.

I haven't been happy with the bars - either in the fridge or in cabinets. I use plastic bins - set them up so they fit snug against each other, then put the items in the bins. Bigger and heavier items (like milk) go on the bottom shelf. For me, the trick is to fill the shelves so there isn't room for stuff to fall over or slide around and keep heavy stuff as low as possible.

Many fridge latches out there on Amazon, etc.

We have success using spring loaded rods and these child safety locks work well.

We use bars inside on the shelves they do stay in place as long as the doors stay shut
We use safety latches on the doors
There have been several threads on this, many different latch styles available

2oldman our somebody else will post a link to some threads about this

Lots of options

We use the bars we purchased at Walmart for the inside shelves, and a velcro strip to secure the doors. Works great. Good luck!

Most refrigerator (curtain) bars can be twisted to be tighter. We have used residential reefers for years. I like to make/buy another hinge bracket and use it to pin the doors.

I originally had trouble as well. We have a good latch but you have to remember to use it 🙂 The bars at Camping World seem to be working for us.

Between the pantry slide outs and fridge, we have launched enough food to make dinner.

Many have found something on Amazon to do the job. Search for baby latching stuff...

there is a couple of latch ideas on here do a quick search.My
Frigidaire seems to have a very tight door seal and no latch needed
I do keep heavy stuff out of door when travelling
Regarding the stuff sliding out we use adjustable mini curtain rods
between the side walls and keep all stuff in mini open plastic containers

Velcro for the doors.

Necessity being the mother of invention. I throw a couple of bed pillows in the refrigerator as we go down the road. One on each side pushes the food back and no room for falling down. Then a baby safety latch on the doors. Works for us.
