Home made fridge bottom trivet.

[GP]

Will do but I am not using the van for a month or two since I am moving house!!

It just arrived and I have fitted it - it fits like a glove. You can use with or without the tray since the grill has risers on it, absolutely perfect.

 

[Vagophile]

I'm taking your word for it! Just ordered from Amazon, only 20 left!

I got 2 grey plastic draining board drainers from Dunelm. Look just like picture above but minus the handle, very cheap in kitchen department.

Me too. Thinking of buying shares in SOSMAR next

It's also sold under the name of 'Cabilock' with more in store:

You can also fly in this piece of plastic drain grid of 39x22cm for 2,92€:

, if you're not too much embarrassed about your ecological footprint,...

 

[GP]

Thought I would just point out there are two sizes in the SOSMAR range on Amazon. Make sure you order the size which is 39cmsx22.5cms which no doubt will sell out soon so there will only be the smaller size left which is too small.

I know, I don't know what came over me. It's the most that I've spent on anything in the past month!

Ok, who ordered all 20? There are non left ;-)

Now everyone has cleaned the supplier out - What are you going to do for the back wall of the fridge. That's where the cooling elements are and you really need something there to stop stuff getting frozen and stuck on the back wall. A spacer allows for more efficient cooling.
Over to you as I'm sorted. Got 2 drain board " whatever you call them " one for the base and one for the back wall.

Jeez. Is this a demonstration of the influence of the California Club?
I was thinking of suggesting a sub-section of the club for owners of a Sosmar drainer/trivet.

What are you going to do for the back wall of the fridge.

I'm going to cut up one of my treasured fruit packing boxes which are a strong black plastic diamond mesh with small "bobble" protrusions. These crates have been so useful over the years, but one has finally split and can't be used for storage anymore.

#39, Also on Amazon

I use a metal clipboard with an ice cube “bag” held up against this area.
This makes ice for the G&T and keeps things front sticking here.
Win win.

Yep, we got ours too. Perfect fit!

 

[Vagophile]

Yep, we got ours too. Perfect fit!

Ours arrived less than 24 hours after ordering.
I marvel at the thought of all of those state of the art robots whirring away selecting my choice, the lorry driver working through the night to get it to the delivery hub and the poor final delivery driver who has to pee in a bottle to keep to his schedule. Still, it all makes work for the working man to do and Jeff Bezos and Amazon investors just that little bit richer.
Now I've just got to sort out the back wall!

 

[Camperfamily]

Solution for the back wall? The drain comes in two parts as pictures from @GP show. My thought is to use the ‘drain plate’ (that with holes in it) for the bottom and the ‘catch plate’ for the wall, which is also the correct width (obviously).

Would this work or does the wall plate also need to be ‘ventilated’? In which case, drill a few holes in that
