Every time we set up camp we have a problem with Fibber's cabinet dumping it's contents out onto the floor. Fibber's cabinet is the one over the fridge in some of the units and it swings up to the ceiling. What do you store in your Fibber cabinet?
Cereal. PS. There are tension bars - primarily for the inside of the fridge - that are designed to hold things in place while traveling. I wonder if they might slip, so i took a bunch of very small hooks and placed them on the inside walls of that overhead cabinet, and strung some middle weight elastic between them to hold food in place while traveling.
I once had an overhead kitchen cabinet come open and spew a container of flour (ack!) on the floor. Fortunately the container was TUPPERWARE - and the lid stayed on. I use it to avoid vermin and so I can see what's inside, it's travel worthiness is just an added bonus. I do wish they made Airstream shaped tupper though!

Hi, we keep our toaster and coffee maker in the cabinet above our refrigerator. Notice I installed lifts to hold it open; Also the lifts add more pressure, when closed, to help hold the door closed. Something Airstream should have done.
Thanks for the response. I really like the elastic idea. Currently I use the cabinet to store boxes of ziploc bags and Rubbermaid "leftover" containers. I could install the tension bars, elastic belts, and the lifts that Bob suggested and be in good shape.
Thanks everyone for excellent recommendations...especially Bob's lift installation idea!! And yes..Airstream should have already done this. Thanks again. Alice
If you haven't got around to doing the job already, you could use Carlos Ferguson's idea of magnets.
He used magnets extensively in his full monte, especially in the kitchen drawers to hold them shut while traveling.
I believe he used rare earth magnets, they are more "powerful".

Ours is a smaller cabinet so it's relegated to holding trash bags, plastic wrap, zip lock bags and tin foil. The small ziplock bags always land on my head.
