Residential Samsung Refrigerator in my solitude

The fridge tipping over is not inspiring. We have grossly rough roads up here.

While I haven’t had any issue with mine. It wouldn’t be very hard to beef up the brace above the refrigerator to provide more stability.

I have yet to see a residential fridge in a Solitude. So not sure what to expect.

We just "road tested" our Residential like Robs above on the roads of Northern New Mexico. I think the only place I've encountered rougher roads are spring in Minnesota.

The Samsung passed with flying colors. Yes, we have the triple door after market lock as recommended by Rob too.

Thanks for the link just ordered one for our 2021 310 GKR Samsung fridge!

It's rock-solid and there's no way the doors nor the freezer drawer will open while traveling now. The whole unit tipping over is another story and there are several threads on that...

Fyi, if the after market lock wont fit with standard latch from samsung, turn it upside down. Still works

The latch that comes from the factory is not from Samsung - it's installed by GD. I just removed it and plugged the holes with stainless steel screws.
