Properly mounting appliances for travel

[TBsimmons]

Can anybody post pictures of how you have your refrigerator and if you have a washer and dryer what you have them mounted with? how do you secure them in travel?
We own a 2021 Redwood 4001lk we used to have a Grand Design momentum 380th and we never had our refrigerator come loose during travel however this unit the brackets broke on the washer and dryer and the mounting brackets on the refrigerator the first time we hauled it from St Augustine Florida to Biloxi Mississippi for work. See attached pictures it was a nightmare. We bought this about a month ago from the Camping World in St Augustine they had it ready for us to go so they said. Their words were all you have to do is back up and hook up and you're good to go. These cheesy little brackets broke losing our refrigerator literally bounced on top of the stove all the way from Florida to Mississippi.

my personal opinion is that yes, the mounts on the fridge are fairly weak but rough roads and leaf springs this type of thing happens way to frequently. This is one of the many reasons why many owners have gone out to Elkhart and had MorRide install their independent suspension. I had molding, cabinets, doors ECT broken because the trailer rides so rough it just shakes everything apart. Now that we have IS installed, we leave the glass coffee pot and the maker on the counter top , It never moves.



Let us know how you make out with your dealer and getting all those issues repaired.

many members have posted good outcomes on comfort ride slipper springs and shocks. Its more of a DIY kit that is bolt on parts. Keep in mind this kit will not solve the weak bolts and spring mount issues some owners have found including myself.
