Hi Friends, My Rod and Reel has an opening in the cabinet that fits a Marvel Fridge. I just picked one up on Saturday. It fits the opening. However, I can't figure out how it should be mounted or anchored inside the cabinet. The Marvel fridge opening is about 14" off the floor and goes up @40" from there. I see no holes in the plywood shelf that it will sit on anywhere and nothing is inside the cabinet that would indicate that a fridge was ever "confined". How should it be "confined" or attached so it doesn't fall out? The outer wood trim that goes around the perimeter of the opening is long gone. There are only small nail holes where the trim used to be. Here is the opening in the cabinet n my Rod and Reel.
For reference of a similar placement, here is an image taken from the inside of a (restored) 1955 Aljoa: 1955 Aljoa with marvel fridge and rounded cabinets Here is another one from a 1954 Traveleze. 1954 Traveleze with Marvel FridgeAlso, my Dixie oven stove tips forward every time I tow the trailer. There are two screw holes in the wood paneling behind the stove, but they are not lined up with existing stove brackets that are part of the stove itself. Any suggestions on how to attach the stove so it doesn't tip anymore without having to pull the skins? Here is the stove as it sits upright. A thin wall sits to the right of the stove.
Here it the view of the stove and the kitchen to the left. Thanks, Rod

Perhaps it would be best to repair the trailer before anchoring the fridge. It will need to be removed to do the repairs, so why do it twice?

My vintage fridge appears to be anchored by the trim piece alone.

There appears to be old screw holes on the inside edge of the cabinet opening. Can you screw through the inside edge of the refrigerator door opening into the edge of the framed opening like ice boxes are typically fastened? If not, I'm sure with a little creativity it will not be too difficult to figure out a way to secure it.
