Hello, I have a 2026 avenue 35rks with the furrion 16 cu ft side by side refrigerator, on our first trip the doors opened up and spilled the contents out and shattered a shelf, we had to take the trim off the slide so we could get the slide out to get to the refrigerator, the bungee on top of the refrigerator was attached but proved to be useless, does anyone know how to keep these doors shut while traveling as I cannot find a commercially sold door lock? I did contact alliance customer service and the parts dept was good but the customer experience manager is no help at all, any help is appreciated. Mike n debbie

We had that happen on our Valor 36V11 and I could not find a lock that would work so I took 2in wide velcro and put a 6in long piece across the tops of the doors in the middle when we travel. When we stop just pull velcro off the top and open the doors, before travel stick the velcro on.
Pretty cheap and simple door lock that worked great on our last trip of 18k miles.
Hope this helps.

I use this child proof lock and it is so nice. When I get to camp, it just swings out of the way and you never notice it.

We also found child proof velcro connectors that was very easy to use and held doors closed. Amazon has an assortment of child proof locking devices.
Great thanks for the reply, gonna try the velcro first because there's only 3/4" clearance from the fridge to the slide trim when the slide is in, that was the hard part when the doors opened we couldn't get the slide out to get to the fridge so there i was at a rest area with a hammer and pry bar taking the trim off a brand new camper lol

My last time out I got some Cupboard Bars Tension Rods and placed them inside the fridge and freezer to hold things in place. They worked pretty well.
