I'm thinking of putting a 2-door dorm style fridge in a new Freightliner Cascadia Evolution (company truck.) I'd like to get it off the floor and out of the way. I'm thinking about methods of securing it. Of course, the company doesn't want any drilling of holes in the truck. One thought is setting it on the (mostly unused) upper bunk, attaching a plywood base to the leveling leg sockets, and running ratchet straps through that and around the upper bunk. Any other thoughts on methods of securing this? I'm also at a bit of a loss for what I'd do to secure it if it was on the foot of the lower bunk. Any thoughts anybody?
Here's a link to the general type of fridge I'm thinking of:

Two bungee straps. Hook it to where the bed would lock into place. One up top, one on the bottom. I have a dorm sized fridge as well, and when I had a double bunk that's what I did. Put a sponge on top of the compressor that will squeeze in between the compressor and the bottom to keep the compressor from jumping around too much.

Any other insight?Friday and Raiderfanatic Thank this. -
-
Also, any reason for preference of bungee cords over ratchet straps?
Do you by chance have any photos? -
-
The reason for bungees as opposed to ratchet straps is ease of use. Easier to get in and out of the fridge, lol.
-
So the bungees were going around the fridge (including doors), and had to be unhooked each time you went into the fridge?
-
Yes. I unhooked the bottom one when I needed something.
