    Fridge slide in back seat area

    Wondering if anyone has done this before.
    Ripping out the seats, making a flat floor.
    It would mean, of course, being able to extend the distance the rear passenger doors open - if it is possible.

    Has anyone out there done this, and could give some advise?

    If I remember correctly, 3dogs has done something similar.
    As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?

    Yeah, Maddog, it seems to me that this is the better option, if only I can get the passenger doors wide enough.

    Benefits - heavy fridge is closer to centre of gravity, better weight distribution, and easier access - especially for my beautiful 5' 2" wife.

    You could have a rope tied to the other end of the fridge and secured somewhere inside the vehicle. When you open the rear door and pull the fridge outward it can only go "so far" so it half hangs out the door. When you're done, simply push it back in. Done deal.

    My sincere apologies threedogs.
    Just going over the replies to my post and realised that I had called you "Maddog" in error.
    He had responded to me on another post and was still fresh in my mind - I guess.
    I'm over 70, and things in memory tend to start flying around a bit, and sometimes you reach out and grab the wrong one.
    if you haven't experienced it yet - it's coming

    Thanks for the response pollenface, but my issue is the height of the fridge when it is in the back.
    Another benefit is the better weight distribution, and the extra room I could have there if I could get the fridge in the back seat area.
    With a capable fridge slide, how far it comes out is not an issue for me.

    Best regards

    A few years back I went to the Cape with several mates. I took both passenger seats out and put two 40 litre Engels in their place. One used as fridge, the other as freezer.

    I used pieces of 4 x 2 to level up and secured fridges with tie downs.

    Worked a treat
