Best way to secure a 2-door dorm-style fridge?

My thought (when I actually buy this, which could be as soon as next week) is to pull out the leveling legs and replace them with some bolts and spacers (and/or washers), holding a plywood platform on the bottom. I will then set that on a piece of memory foam, which will help dampen the ride for the refrigerator, along with protecting the surface below (likely the upper bunk mattress) from any damage. I don't think these fridge units have any coils on the bottom, but if they do I'll allow some space for cooling between the platform and the bottom.

Unfortunately, the platform work is not going to be done until my next home time, which I expect to be mid-April. I will be sure to post some photos of the whole setup when completed.

 

Yes, would appreciate any photos you could share, and also a link to the model you chose and where you bought it.

 

Looked at the link, but these appear to be enormously expensive compared to the sub-$200 units most talked about in this thread. Also, the main point of this thread deals with placement and securing a refrigerator/freezer, which would also be necessary for the Engel-USA models.

 

I'm debating placement at this point between using the lower, or upper bunk. If the model I choose is not too obtrusive on the lower bunk (to where it can still be used reasonably for sleeping), might go there. It would be more convenient to access there. It depends on the team driver situation, among other things. Also, how difficult it would be to move temporarily in order to access storage under the lower bunk. That alone may force it to be located in the upper bunk area.

As for moving the upper mattress down to the lower bunk, I don't believe they are the same size. The lower bunk is considerably wider. What I plan to do is obtain a 3" memory foam topper for the lower bunk. Will help out with sleeping, especially since this is a team truck and we sleep when it's moving.
