EdgeStar fridge slider.

[kai38]

First I want to Thank Fergie for an older post http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16548
I took his idea and used it to make a slider for the EdgeStar fridge. I could not find one already made to fit the EdgeStar, even though I ordered one from Compact Appliances that was made to fit the Engle I thought I would make it fit.
After it was ordered I thought why make a $300.00 slider fit something it wasn't made to fit. So when it shows up Monday I'm sending it back (free shipping & re-turn shipping)
I have right around $100.00 into this slider. Parts & labor.

Nice job. I need to build one for mine.

Question, what holds the fridge onto the mount?

Picture was taken before the straps were put on.
I ran a strap with a buckle under the sliding part & the fridge behind the legs and out across the side through the handle. It catches on the bearings when it slides open, so I need to re figure it.
In the mean time I had added two loops on the frame for a ratchet strap to better secure the fridge while driving.

I am trying to decide what I am going to do with my fridge
