Stored TT and fridge

[krackeer]

My TT is stored far from home. I leave the TT on site and the campground puts it into storage for me. I am looking for a way to keep fridge doors open while it sits. At present I am using an assortment of bungee cords and a swim noodle to accomplish this. The doors must be kept in a stationary position once open in place. They can't be bouncing open any further or close all the way. Any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

Mine has a tiny tab on the handle that allows you to slide a "deadbolt" into a second hole that holds the fridge and freezer door open about 1/4"

I just leave my door (one door unit) open/and leave the top freezer drop down door proped open with a ice cube tray. wouldnt be a bad idea to tie it open somehow if the campground pulls/sets up yout TT for you. I wouldnt count on them closing everything up prior to transporting.

I noticed the tiny tab you are talking about. I will have to look when I get down next week for the second hole. Sure would be handy if its there!

His problem is that the campsite moves his trailer after he leaves, so if he leaves the doors open they will flap around while the TT is being moved. I have the little tabs also but never noticed a second hole, I'll look today.

That's what we do. The "deadbolt" on our Norcold fridge door latch is grey in color.

I sure hope it is there...would make things a lot easier!

If the TT gets jostled enough the weight of the doors will override the little tab and the doors will close. I take the refridgerator tension rods and place them in the front most position of the fridge. This way the door can not close.

Yes - little tabs on the fridge doors keep it cracked open a bit. But, then again, not sure how long that's been around and like usmc616, we've had them fail in the past. In my "old" 1990 Aerolite I actually removed the doors when it went into storage. Simply open the doors and lift the bottom of the door off the hinge and then lower the top out.
