Refrigerator Door shelves breaking

[timandbarb]

We have a Furrion FCR10DCGTA 12 volt refrigerator and the shelves that hook on the inside of the door keep breaking. These are very thin plastic and don't hold up to the light weight that we put in them. I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem and how they resolved it? GD and Furrion have replaced two of them but they continue to keep breaking.

I’m surprised Furrion replaced them since the instruction manual bizarrely tells not to put food in the refrigerator while traveling.

We have used ours for a year now and have not broken one yet, I know what you are all thinking.

Our door shelf broke on our last trip. Need to check with the dealer on whole fridge replacement for a different reason, so maybe it won’t matter for us.

Thank you all for your response. I must say I have not read the manual. I am very surprised that they would tell you not to travel with food in the fridge. That is very bizarre!!! I have been working on some reinforcement with some polycarbonate and epoxy. I just hate to modify one thing and then it causes something else to break. I even went as far as installing a shock kit on the axles to cut back on the impact from our Illinois highways that are so terribly maintained. Our fridge is all the way in the back and I think the teeter tawter effect makes the articles in the frifge bounce even more

My DW uses expansion rods (the inexpensive things you can buy at any big box store) to hold items in place inside her refrigerator. Heavier items go near the bottom. She has a large residential refrigerator and (remarkably) so far nothing's been broken inside.

I agree 100% with the "bizarre" characterization of the caution in the Furrion's manual. (I had to go read it myself--couldn't believe they'd actually put that in an RV refrigerator's instruction manual.)

Putting that in the manual is about like saying remove all weight from the unit before travel. I understand them saying to not travel with the unit on gas (have ran on gas for years during travel days) as the newer units with side exits vs roof do operate a bit different, but really remove food before travel.
