By any chance is this your brother-in-law? He seems to like milk too...

Here's my trick.
 Hi, this is the way that I have vented my refrigerator. I use a bungie cord wrapped once around my bathroom door handle and hooked to both refrigerator doors. Works great!

I knew the dividers could be repurposed, but I could never figure it out......until I saw the video.
Until then I just left the door open wide, as long as the trailer was level or up by the nose.

Another item the DEALER should know and TELL the buyer about.

I think they're just in the 7 or 9 cu/ft. fridges. I have them although mine are white.

Nice to know. We just push the door open and leave it open.

They also serve as dividers on the shelves to keep things upright.

Great tip!
Thank you Journeyman!
I shamelessly read this at work. Now I can't wait to get home and see if my fridge has these things.

This method doesn't work when you are travelling with the winterized trailer or when the storage yard is moving the trailer around as the doors will swing closed.

Just hang a hand towel over the top of the refrigerator door, so it can’t close.

Hi, I agree with this; My concern is that if I move my trailer, the refrigerator doors will swing all the way open and break off. Therefore my bungy cord will prevent this from happening.

Excellent! Thanks for this. Until now, I was also in the "towel" camp, but not any more!

My NovaKool has a L-shaped piece of metal that you rotate into position to keep the door ajar in storage. It also serves as a travel lock to keep the door closed when on the road.
