We have used these for years, and they work quite well. They let you tuck everything up against the back wall of the fridge to keep things from shifting around too much. We have never had anything fall out of the fridge since we started using them. They have single rod and double rod versions. I suppose they would even hold bait containers in place...

I find we always over pack in the beginning of a trip so there is alot less space for stuff to move around. It's on the way home that the spring bars pay off - a half full jar of relish, or a jar of jam sliding around is enough to pop open the door in a turn.

I agree on the plastic egg carrier - they do not leak and hold the eggs great. Small (tiny stuff) rubber maid or disposable containers are great for left overs but those are far and few when I travel. Other stuff just gets condensed into bags - pickles are one to go into zip locks. I have a small fridge compared to most so we have come real good at jamming stuff in there.

I used a small 12v muffin fanfrom a computer (2 inch size) and direct wired to the fridge circuit so when it's on the fan is on - get rid of the battery powered one. Cuts down on batteries and wire tied to the bottom of the shelf takes up zero room.

Beer and sodas and large bottles of OJ are in a cooler. Less work for the fridge to re cool from openning the door for those more 'frequent' needs. Besides the beer is ice COLD.

Proof!

Here's a pic of our first camp in Yosemite. Great weather, not crowded (by Yosemite standards), and everyone had a great time.
