I see there are plenty of fridge openers for Dometic but very limited for Thetford fridges. Can anyone recommend a suitable 'opener' for a Thetford and where to purchase if they have one?

TIA

Cheers

Mick

I have to ask: what is a "fridge opener"?

It's on the chain between the kitchen & bedroom!

That's what it is. Just use a bath towel & wedge in. We do that on our home fridges & portable fridge.

Another "unofficial" option is a hunk of foam rubber.  You can get offcuts from Clark Rubber.  I just stick one in the door of the freezer and the fridge to hold them open.  I miss the little latch that was on the fridge in my last van, that was an electrolux.  It latched closed, or open.
