Securing Refrigerator Contents for Travel

March 15, 2023

We have a residential refrigerator in our motorhome, and Penguin loves to cook, so we typically have a very full refrigerator. For the first few years, I used pool noodles to secure the contents of our refrigerator, but a few years ago, I upgraded to this custom net solution that I made and absolutely love. It has saved us so many times! If an object slips off the shelf, it is caught in the net and doesn’t come tumbling out when we open the refrigerator door.

Our Solution:

  • Customized this Rear Cargo Trunk Net found here on Amazon by cutting it to fit our refrigerator space

  • Attached the cargo net to the refrigerator shelves using self-adhesive clips from Dollar Tree

  • Upgrade the adhesive by removing the adhesive that came with the clips, and use Gorilla Max Strength Mounting Tape in black.

  • Used refrigerator storage containers

Tips:

Make sure you attach the clips to the furthest edge of the shelf so they don’t get hit and break when you take items in and out

I vary the direction of the clips, with some being turned up and some being turned down
