Close the Door–Part Deux

Yeah, I know it took me a long time to get this update posted but I been busy…..

The real issue is to keep the door from “breathing” as we go down the road.  Any give in the bands that hold the doors closed allow it to pump cold air out and room air into the freezer and refrigerator areas.

Fortunately, I found a surprising solution.  Figure 9 binders:

I found these at Harbor Freight and they make a quick and secure way to cinch down cargo, or bind objects together with very little movement of the individual parts.  They do come in different sizes, too.

I just used the same clamps that I showed in the previous post which the bungee cords were hooked into.  At the hinge side I just made a simple turn around the hinge brackets and looped that end up to the Figure 9 device.
