I concur.

Jerrod - consider putting the travel latches on those pantry slide out drawers like I did. That way, the drawers will never bump the doors open during travel.

Good idea Jim I'll see if that one will pass Rhonda's approval..

what is a travel latch?

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

I think I might try the rubber bracelets over the knobs when traveling just to be safe.

Sounds like you've been there done that. LOL
They are not even close 4" to 6" maybe I don't think it will ever be an issue. The biggest thing I think is the knobs marking up the fridge.

Mine are not close as well.
But if you forget to close that door and you absent mindlessly run the slide in from the outside control - not saying I know anyone that did that though

That going to wipe it out with or without the knob on it... LOL

I'm talking about the door nearest the slide. Without a knob the slide coming will push the door closed. With a knob it will catch the door.

Gotcha thanks

Here's what I did - link

We use plastic baby door locks on our cabinet doors when traveling. They are adjustable, cheap and work great.

I can tell you that "if" a slide just happens to catch a door knob while coming in, it will make said door 2 pieces.

I can tell you that if a slide catches a pickle jar while being extended it will push the fascia off.

Eweeee. A drawer will brake the fascia. That is what mine did and I didn't even see the open drawer.

Ah pickles. You had to bring that up!

I can confirm that if you forget to latch your refer door and you have a jar of pickles in there, they will fall out, break and you'll have a glass, pickle and pickle juice mess

 

[OEFVET]

That is why you need a hose splitter. Well maybe not but splitters are good!

Another reason I don't eat pickles!

A pickle coach must taste good

Got the replacement Samsung microwave on Wednesday had it UPS shipped to the house. The box had some damage on top. We opened it up and all looked OK where the damage was.
So today I went to install it and when I pulled it out of the box the side was all bent and dented.

Back to best buy again...

Another Mod I did a while back. When we bought the rig back in may it had this wood grill over a cut out in the bottom step. No before pictures sorry.
You could see right through the slats in the grill cover, they hacked the hole out with a chain saw or a sledge hammer. This is what you could see + all of the wires and trash left in there from the factory.

So I went looking around Home Depot for a black screen or mesh material to put behind it. I found a thin pet A/C filter black on one side and green on the ether. Cut it to fit and reinstalled the cover over it

No more unsightly mess

This is what I use on the fridge
After the second trip out and the little sticky strap that came on it from the factory failed, and we opened the entry door to find half of our food all over the floor including the eggs.

I know you don't always see things behind stuff but come on. A little pride in their work goes a long way. That looked like Sh@* behind the grill.

You can always try child locks for appliances

When we were doing our 'shopping' we saw several rigs that had a knob type holder -- in all cases it was the French Door (Freezer on the bottom) models but I'm wondering why something like that couldn't be put on our side by sides. The strap doesn't necessarily keep the doors closed (we've found our freezer open and temp up) on each of our tail gate and test outings. I need to find out how that can be done / where to get the parts and see if my pair of pliers / screwdriver can handle the job .
