Want to buy Bluebird
I solved the refrigerator door opening with a couple of teflon 'wire
minders' round the handles. The refrigerator also has some snap-
latches used on many of the cabinet doors. I've seen the spring-
loaded bars -- and now that I have the $100 gift certificate for
Camping World, I may get a couple. The near panic stops that toss
things around in the refrigerator are (fortunately) few and far between.

The pantry cabinet has about 6 heavy duty spring loaded snap catches.
It's actually kind of difficult to get it open when you want to open
it... (Indeed, a previous owner seems to have broken the handle from
tugging it open, as we have a clearly non-standard handle on the
pantry door, now.)

On the road at Lockhart Texas where it's cold and rainy! Record
breaking 89 degrees last Wednesday, now about 46 degrees.
