Some may have seen my post that the lid broke on my Indel-B TB-41 / Truckfridge TF-41 back in May. It broke because my wife couldn't remember not to let it slam when she was getting something out of the fridge. 
.
I ordered a new lid but couldn't figure out how to get the pins in to attach it, so I've been using the old lid and just latching it into place on the latch side and letting the lid set on the hinge side. It actually sets in there pretty snugly.
.
But here's the thing: Used to be, if I was getting something out of the fridge I always needed two hands, one to hold the lid up and the other to reach for whatever I was getting. If I needed to move something around in the fridge it was a hassle because I was trying to use both hands while also propping the lid up with my elbow. And of course, the Indel-B has the hinge on the back of the fridge vs. the side so that means the lid has to be lifted high in order to get something out.
.
Since the lid broke, though, it's much easier. If I need to get something out, I just unlatch the lid, lift it out of the way and set it down. When I'm done I replace the lid and latch it down. So much easier because I don't need a hand holding up the lid. Also it means I can access the fridge from any side since I'm completely removing the lid.
.
Of course, I realize that by removing the lid I'm letting the "cold" out but as long as I'm only doing it briefly, it hasn't caused any problems.
.
I swear if I get another fridge I may seriously consider making the lid detachable.
