Car Fridge mounting
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2005 7:48 pm
Ok so there's been a couple of threads on "which one is better" etc and I have spent the bucks ($700) for my 35lit fridge
and am very happy with my little purchase.
So now comes the ugly bit.... mounting the sucker SECURELY in the cab....
I looked at the genuine mounting kit and decided that a bit of tinfoil would be stronger and just as servicable...... ok so I like OVERBUILT !
How have you guys managed to secure your down so it stays put even in the event of a flop ????
After much deliberation and a couple of hours with the welder I have manafactured one "frame" for a specific duty, its a bolt in item that will sit in the back of the car ( yes car not rig at this stage ), and it has 2 spare tyres either side bolted to it....oh, the back seat you ask ...... left hand right shoulder
! This setup is for my new "bash car" I'm currently building.
After the bash is over, I will be using the fridge in other vehicles and its then that these mounting ideas may come into play.....
