Dometic RC 1180 tie downs ??

Brian,

I'd be attaching some "dees" or some such to each end with either s/s self tappers or s/s pop rivets, through the plastic outer case. Also use some Sikaflex 291 to seal, and also assist the fasteners to hold the attachment.

Check out the Ovesco, or maybe Whitworths sites, as they have heaps of different s/s attachments, and fasteners. You might even be able to get something similar at Bunnings, or Home Hardware.

Here's a couple from Ovesco site:

This was from the same question raised several years ago. Maybe some help?

"Our RC1180 sits on a fridge slide, underneath the fridge there are two captive nuts that are moulded into the case, from memory they are M8. I have used these to secure the chescold to the slide."

I would be very careful drilling for fittings, I suppose if the very top is away from any internal metal plates, you might be safe, a bit of a risk though.

If you go the d-rings way Brian, ensure you use a good chunky thread, short, fat, self tapper, and maybe use a bit of black urethane behind the d-ring for good measure.
I would use a big base one with a couple of screw holes / screws to spread the load etc.

It still worries me doing that, as the forces on those points on tracks would be fairly high, maybe 4 of them would be to go too, angle d-rings to direction of tie down point, and cross over the tie down straps, like this X.

When done, you can use these ratchet tie downs by Techniice, on special now for $18 a pair, shipping free, think out of stock now more in by mid Oct.
