How to Secure Drawers in a Trailer
The drawers in your trailer or RV may be convenient for storing items, both on the road and once you reach your destination, but securing them for travel can be tricky. Unsecured drawers can fly open at corners and curves, causing the items inside to scatter throughout your trailer, sometimes leading to breakage and spills. If this happens, you may find yourself with a big mess once you reach your destination. To prevent this problem from occurring, secure your trailer or RV drawers before you begin your trip.
