What are your reccomedations for securing drawers while in route. They alwasy slide out and velcro does not hold them.

If the handles on a bank of drawers has an opening rather than a knob, just slip a yardstick down through all of the handles. Easy.

Ours didn't come open so it sounds like your hardware isn't working as it should.

My drawers all have elasticated waistbands and seem to stay in place very well ๐Ÿ™‚

Shock cord ... simple, and works like a charm. :B

camper drawers are built to stay shut. In 30 years of towing campers. I have yet to have a drawer, OR cabinet door open.

If you don't overload them with lots of weight, small neodymium magnets set into and epoxied into the face frame and drawer will keep them shut. If done right, the magnets will be invisible.
