Dometic cdf36 tie down method??

[Micka]

Theres no handles on this fridge so ive been strapping over the top for travel but that stops access for water etc. Anyone got a clever solution for this? Its a great fridge so i dont want to change but wish i could find a simple way to sort this out. Maybe araldite some tie down rings on it?
Thanks

I have the same fridge and have built it into a kitchen pod that I made. In order to hold it securely I have used the handle recesses and carved 2 blocks of wood to fit in the recesses. These are then held in place using a webbing strap all the way round the fridge.
In my case the fridge is then part of the whole pod arrangement. For you I would suggest incorporating some eye bolts/rings into the wood filling the handle recesses, could then use another strap to fix to the floor rails.




(Doubt Araldite would be strong enough to take the loads involved)

Nice set up. Im wondering if i could use flattened S hooks over the rim without fouling the lid. Will keep trying…

How about this bolted to a board that is then fixed to the seat rails with T bolts:
