Keeping residential refrigerator closed while travelling

    We have only made one trip in our fairly new Bounder 36Y, but have one problem we have not found a good remedy for, i.e., the residential refrigerator doors easily come upon when rounding corners. Our only solution so far has been to duct tap the doors closed, but that does not always work and is rather unsightly. Any suggestions??

    There are a number of "expensive" lock solutions, but if you go to the child lock section at a hardware store you can find a number of relatively inexpensive solutions. If it is the 3 door style, Velcro around the upper handles holds them well, and we used a couple strap style cabinet locks for the freezer.

    Our motorhome came with 4 hooks screwed in the wood frame around the fridge. There was a loop on each end of a sash. Two hooks and sash held the freezer closed and the other two the lower door. There was also a long bolt with washer that screws into a threaded hole between the freezer door and fridge door. So they gave me a choice on what to do.

    For our freezer I screwed in a small hook on both sides of the fridge and attach a bungee cord when traveling. My fridge doors have a factory installed latch
