Fridge install - no drilling?

[xlover]

@xlover - Could you please elaborate on your first bullet point? Thank you

Ok so I tried to draw out what I was thinking…. It’s kinda awful but hopefully you can get the idea

The red being a wooden frame to hold the cooler + battery in place so you don’t have to directly strap it to the bed. Then strap the wooden frame to the tie downs.

I am not actually sure if this would work just an idea….

How about installing L track? Would have to drill holes but it would be usueful with or without the fridge mounted.

Got it, thanks, I think I can fab something like that, I’ll post back here in a few months if I end up with a working solution.

I’ll use that as a last resort, I’m trying to keep the bed without additional holes for the moment.

Hey gxgn! So what did you end up with in the bed?! I'm in analysis paralysis re mounting the slide directly to the bed vs using the bed bolts somehow.

Hi @TerryG - I ended up installing black anodized L track. It worked well but it was more work than I thought to secure it properly. I traded the f150 for the baby brother Ranger Raptor and now i have the same dilemma, how to secure the fridge.
