Fridge Mount solutions?

A few months back I managed to score a Norcold MRFT-60 (Engel MT-60) for a song on craiglist :cool:. I bought it thinking I could put it in my Trailer. How are people installing larger fridges in their trailer? Unlike the Engel MT-45 I have in my 80 the norcold doesn't have removable feet or a Slide-Lock type system that I'm utilizing in the truck. Are turnbuckles my only option? I'd hate to add holes to the bed of my trailer. Maybe sell/trade it for a MT35/45 and figure out a way to use the slide-lock in the trailer? Or maybe just continue using it as a really expensive minifridge at home lol. :confused:
 
Even with a slide lock you have to drill holes to mount it. My work around on my Jeep build was making a sub-floor that attached using existing bolt holes in the rear/bed area.

Elegantly simple solution that has a good application to the carpeted rear of the 80-series.
 
Thats a great idea. What did you make your platform out of? Is it wood coated in some kind of liner? I did the same thing on a lot smaller scale to mount my slide-lock to the bed of my 80. I ended up carpeting it though. I don't know why I didn't think of doing a whole rear platform. Ignore the catfish lunch seems like thats the only picture I have of my fridge install :p. I'll have to see what I can rig up. I actually have all the seats out of the 80 right now so I have tons of space to work with I just don't have the wood working tools to cut the contours around the wheel wells. The trailer might be easier because its just one big rectangle.
