ernie, the fridge i put in was the 9.7cu ft one as well. the same one that most people put in rv's.
i never did get around to making a latch for it to prevent it from opening when you are driving. there was no way to do the solenoid one like is on my amana in the 02.
i have seen different ways including gordon who put a mechanical pin that he takes in and out.
i ended up buying industrial exterior grade 2" wide velcro with the stickem on the back of the fuzzy side and no stickem on the hook side. then i cut the fuzzy side to about a 6" length and 2 more pieces that were put on the freezer and fridge door on the handle side. i then cut a piece of the loop that was 2" wide and went the entire length of the 6" piece, that would wrap around the side of the fridge to cover the 2 smaller pieces on the doors.
then i put the longer piece on the 6" piece and attached it to the side of the fridge.
pictures show it much easier. but i dont have any.
it works great, is the same color as the fridge and is easily stowed to the side with a smaller piece of velcro i put on the cab.
bill, you will have to let me know how it works long term.
