We are on our way back from Arran today, irrelevant to the thread but just for reference
Yesterday loaded up, checked all, then moved off slightly uneven pitch, only gone a few yards and one god almighty crash, I thought I had hit a leccy post, Bev who was outside thought I had grounded and was looking underneath MH
I turned to see the fridge door lying next to Lola about 6 feet from where I last saw it and where it still should have been
A few days earlier we had discussed just how heavy the door is with milk, tonic water and a few beers on it........ just as well we always check it is locked before we move!!
Not this time we didn't, we don't always and often have to despatch Bev to shut it as we move off site
Now I have a big hole with no door, and a few broken plastic bits on the floor
The door is amazingly light with nothing on it, I worked out where it had come from and despite the broken catches managed to get it back in place with a small realignment of the top pin, latched it and moved off
Now I need to acquire new fittings, anybody else suffered similar, any guidance?? Considering how much is broken off the bottom catch I am amazed it still fits and opens, might even leave it unfixed
