Did your Cedar Creek come with these 2 items?

[Dakota C Creek]

We use velcro roll cut to fit. No problems so fsr. Freezer we wedge a croc shoe under to keep closed. We have storms-clear plexiglass. I never leave home without a good tool kit, gorilla tape, self tapping screws and a good drill.

Made a U shaped wooden piece for the 3 door residential fridge. It loops through the door handles and drops down through the freezer door handle. Virtually fool proof. Could have sold dozens to Cedar Creek' ERs at campgrounds.

We use the strap that came with the fridge and are having no problems with it.

Unfortunately, no strap came with the fridge. Will have to look to buy one.

This is the strap I fixed for the refrigerator. I also have one that holds the recliners together and one for the dining chairs

What refrigerator did you receive with your camper? Did you get the 18 CU FT model or the three door 20 CU FT model and or the RV 13 CU FT gas/electric model. Each one is secured with different method to lock the door in the close position while you travel.

On my 18 CU FT fridge there is a star screw with about 2 to 3 inch long shaft that is screwed in between the upper and lower doors, that will contain the doors closed if screwed in all the way. The star wheel could be larger in diameter but it is adequate to secure the door if it is screwed in tightly.

On the 20 CU FT fridge I believe there is a strap that is used to secure the three doors. For the 13 CU FT RV gas/electric model I believe the door handles have a device that locks them in the close position when they are closed. At least this was the way my old RV fridge operated.

So you need to specify what model of fridge you have when you make a statement that I did not receive a strap!

This screw is also great when not using the fridge such as winterizing. With the doors open, screw in the star screw. This will prevent the doors from closing all the way while in storage.

I cross threaded the screw and so my strap works now

Our CC 2014 29RE has a metal frame with heavy duty plastic Top & bottom.....Store them at home overhead in my workshop...I think they are only good to keep out the rain!!!!!!!!....J

Spock, that's not what I have.

I have the 3 door Whirlpool. Only way I've found to absolutely keep it closed is A) ratchet strap across two upper doors, pulled tight, and B) strap with click/lock around upper two and lower freezer drawer, pulled Tarzan Tight. Anything less, and the door comes slightly open in transit, ruining food. Ask me how I know.

There should be a slide bar, like a gate on a fence, to hold these closed in transit. Silly that there's not.

I installed picture hanging metal rings on both sides of frig on trim side and cabinet side and use a bungy strap over both doors works great.

Also put locks on pantry doors to stop them from pounding the main door off when loaded with supplys.

Anyone know of a good slider seal conditioner?

This works good. Many people on this forum recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

we store are under the bed storage

Hi,

My wife took two old towels and sewed them into sleeve-like covers for our door inserts, to protect them from scratches and abrasion.

We store them either under the bed, or behind the sofa.

FWIW.
