I purchased a pretty average fridge slide to complement my home made shelf / drawer system before a trip over XMAS. The straps it came with to tie the fridge down were a simple “loop” type with a plastic tensioner, as you tend to find on kids school bags etc. The problem with these is two fold:
- They are difficult to tighten as the lop just goes round and round as you try and tighten it.
- They make it very difficult to remove the fridge as each strap has to be unthreaded back through it’s buckle. A tedious job for the rear ones.
Loop straps on a fridge are a silly idea.
| Just Straps to the rescue. These came from BCF, even though I hate the place. Super Cheap Auto of the camping world. They are 25mm webbing rated at 150KG each. A big accident might break them loose, but I think the fridge or slide mounts will fail first. |  |
| They are in two pieces with a strong steel hook and loop connecting them. One part stays with the fridge, the other with the slide or tie-down points.
The fridge end has a loop to feed through itself. The base end has a length adjustable steel buckle. |
 |
| The loop that connects is together is a gripping “tiedown” tensioner, allowing a 2:1 mechanical advantage. Great for getting it down nice and tight. |  |
| All tied in, it won’t move no matter what happens. |  |
Highly recommended. 5/5
They are quick, simple, easy and strong.
Absolutely a great Idea!! Good Stuff!
