Wagon52, I use two small pieces of the course side of velcro on edge of door and on side of fridge adjacent to one on door and then twice as long piece of the other half of velco between the two that holds door shut. When at CG I just fold back out of the way till we leave. The Fridge bars when used tightly against drinks in fridge holds all secure.

That sounds like a winner! Thanks for the info. Actually it was a dumb question that I should have been able to figure out myself. Sometime we do over think things.....

But, I do like the idea of the bars also, that way I still have nor surprises when I open the door.
I bought something pretty similar in the baby section at walmart. Door stays shut. This coupled with the spring bars at CW keeps everything secure.

Went with the Velcro and a few spring loaded curtain rods from Target. Will see how this does on our trip this weekend.

Thanks! I will check them out. Might look a little nicer than the Velcro.

Since the refer doesn't run while towing, I just load mine after arrival. If I would like a cold one after set-up, I usually just throw a few in the main refer for the trip.

We normally drive less than an hour to our local haunts so I'll start mine same time as inside fridge day before and stock it.
So while were traveling and unplugged there still cold when we get there.

As soon as I level it up and unhook the truck I get a cold frosty malt beverage from the outside fridge. It helps calm my nerves that I always seem to get when towing, even though I've done it plenty it still gets me edgy. Not sure that's a good thing or not.

On a side note, I put the spring loaded curtain rods in the fridge and the child lock on it and it worked great.
