refrigerator organization

[bruceb]

New to RV'ing so I was wondering how do you make sure all the stuff in the fridge does not end up all over the place while drivein?
Thanks

we use various sizes of plastic food containers and tension rods from CW. Never had a problem with movement yet. I also wrap the wine bottles in a towel and place in the crisper section.

There are various styles of tension bars and braces for the fridge or cupboards to keep stuff from sliding around. Search for RV refrigerator organization of visit a RV dealer accessories department and you'll find a plethora of ideas.

My wife is a bin person for both the fridge and cupboards. She has various sizes and colors, and each bin is it's own category. Seperate bins in different colors for condiments, cheese, fruits, etc. Bins with tops let her stack to save space, though in an RV fridge there should be ample room for airflow - her refrigerator bins are more like plastic wicker that doesn't have solid sides.

We just pack everything tight and low in the fridge for travel. Then just move everything to normal condition when stopped for more than a day.

We like to stuff bread, buns, and soft stuff around things as a "pillow" for travel.

Like with EVERYTHING RVing you just have to do it a lot and learn. Many times you'll learn from your mistakes. But not always.

From 5th wheels to Motor Homes all I have ever used are those white tension rods. I will have to say really not much moves in the frig and with the tension rods you are sure nothing will fall out when you open the door.

I also was curious and created a thread here.

I also pack things towards the front of the motor home. Braking forces are generally greater than acceleration forces, so things tend to slide forward.

If you have any on hand, tension curtain rods work and not as expensive as RV, I have always used them in the cupboards also

Mdesign bins. The ones we got (Amazon) are varying widths, fit the 3 fridge shelves with an inch or so space to the sides and about 3" fiont and back.

Sealed containers to keep spills from happening and tension rods to keep things from falling out when you open the refrigerator door.

We use plastic bins of various sizes. It keeps things from falling out when you open the Fridge door after being on rough roads. We keep things like water and other things in plastic containers too tall to fit on the shelves, in the door, so if they do happen to fall out, nothing gets broken.

If you have wire shelves,I've found that a length of 3/16" shock cord woven through the front of the shelves in a zig-zag pattern works better than the rods. It's also easier to remove items since there's no rod to get in the way. This doesn't work on my bottom shelf, which is glass so we store things there that are less likely to shift, although we could use a rod there (a piece of non-skid would help as well).

My past includes about 100,000 miles/yr so refer mess was a must for me to eliminate. I use none skid on my shelves. That rubber stuff that can be cut to length. Also include plastic open boxes. I really like those from The Container Store. Nothing moves in my refer EVER. Even if the door is opened while underway.

Mostly I have found little trouble with shifting inside the fridge. However, on occasion, when there are large voids that allow things to slide that shouldn't, I have used round party balloons and sturdy pinch paper clips. The balloons can be inflated to size, twist the end and clip it with the pinch paper clip then just deflate them when you arrive.

I use pieces of pool noodles for cupboards and the like. You can bend them and shove them in to apply some force to keep things in place.
