Furrion 16 cu ft 12v Owners -- Fridge Fixer Beta Testers Needed

[howson]

GD owners,
There is a (very) limited time offer to be a Fridge Fixer beta tester for those that own the Furrion 16 cu ft 12v refrigerator.

You'll work directly with the manufacturer, recubed solutions. This was coordinated by your forum moderators -- NOT GD. Again, this is an independent effort that has nothing to do with GD. If you choose to work with recubed.solutions, you do so at your own risk.

When the company has enough beta testers I'll update the header of this post and the title of the thread.

Contact Carl at orders@recubed.solutions and mention you saw this post on gdrvowners.com.

Howard

P.S. Naturally, documenting your experience with the product here on the forum will be much appreciated!

Hi Howard,

I have this fridge, but not clear which fix we are looking to fix? My two issues are the travel closure for the doors and the very sensitive and finicky control board which is hit or miss if i can get it turned on or not. (just leave it on now). Are either of these included in the FIX?

thanks
Al

Al,
The Fridge Fixer is a door lock mechanism that keeps the doors closed during travel. recubed.solutions develops custom solutions for refrigerators that will not accept their standard model. For example, see the one I installed (at my own expense) on my Haier as documented here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...1818#post71818

recubed.solutions has nothing to do with the performance or operation of the refrigerator itself--that's on the OEM (Furrion).

AH HA, definently an upgrade from the tape that you were using. I will drop them an email. Thanks for the follow up on this.

I’m curious about the outcome of the beta test? Is it still open, or is the product available?

No idea--contact the vendor and let us know! (Info in post 1.)

I have been emailing back and forth with Carl since April on this. He sent me one prototype that was okay but needed some adjustments. He took the feedback very well and redesigned the device. He sent me some detailed renderings of it and I'm hopeful it will work as intended. Unfortunately communication with Carl has slowed down recently as I believe he has had a lot going on in life that has taken up his free time.

I actually just sent him a follow up email yesterday though, asking for a status update, simply because if he doesn't think a there will be a prototype available for testing extremely soon then I will be looking for a DIY solution to improve on the fridge "lock" function. We have the plastic latch that comes from the factory, which works most of the time, but we have also had an occurrence of the fridge opening mid-travel. We have a long trip coming up in a couple weeks and I would like to have something in place to secure the fridge doors closed.


EDIT: literally as I hit send I got an email back from Carl apologizing for the repeated delays. He shared personal reasons that aren't mine to share, but they're legitimate reasons. Life happens! Anyways, update is that he has a new prototype almost ready to test. I'll give an update once I can but I'm hopeful this is a great solution for those of us with the 16cuft side by side.
