    Default Fridge mount

    I have a used ARB FridgeFreeze that I obtained and I want a way to mount it in my rig. It says MT-30 on it and I am having a hard time identifying it through websites. Is anyone here familiar with this model and know of a mount, not slide, that will work with this fridge? I have looked at an Engel mount that replaces the feet on my fridge and wondered if that will work. I am also open to see any homebrew solutions. I really only need a hard mount but want something cleaner that just a rachet strap across the top. Thanks.

    I have the Engel Slide Lock (non sliding) for my 45 qt old school ARB fridge.



    You would probably have to call them up to see which mount as they make a few sizes will fit your ARB fridge.
    ARB (old school style) and Engels are the same, so you would have to match your qt size to get the right ont.

    I'am pretty sure it won't since they are totally different fridges.

    I used a couple footman loops like these: http://www.strapworks.com/Metal_Footman_Loop_p/mfl.htm but from Menard's and nylon straps like these: http://www.strapworks.com/Metal_Footman_Loop_p/mfl.htm from Sportsman's Warehouse to hold mine down for nearly a month until I purchased my slide lock, and it worked just fine.
    But of you can get the slide lock, it's pretty nice and I recommend it for a much cleaner installation.

    The new ARB 50Qt fridge uses a new mount. Instead of a costly mount, I use a different system... handles mounted to the floor ((B) in the picture below) of my sleeping/storage platform are strong enough to use ratcheting tie down straps to hold the fridge in place even over the bounciest terrain.
