Looks good. It was 80 when we were in our pool this afternoon. I guess you have to pay the gas price if you feel you can’t beat the weather!

Don't tell them there are other warm spots in our great nation...

As a born and raised Texan that lived through 30 years of August heat, trust me when I say, I’m not looking for warm. If you know of any places that are 65-75 and sunny most of the year with sub $4 gas, I’ll move tomorrow. Also no mosquitos.

Are there any cutouts or tie downs on the deck to secure a fridge?

Nothing provided.
The frame is a raised floor to create storage space. It doesn't recreate a semi-structural mounting surface the same as a drawer unit does.
The weight rating is 80kg. That will be a static rating. The decks are 8mm ply and retained with table top clamps. The rear feet, closest to the doors, are held onto the legs with a 6mm screw that goes into a thin nut in the leg track extrusion. I don't think Frontrunner intended us to attach loads onto the decks.
With some thoughtful modifications I think it can take a small fridge but not a full fridge with a slide. Those back feet would be better with a through bolt not a clamp screw. The deck attachment to the frame is not structural so tie downs should pass through the decks and loop around the frame rails. During travel I will put a strap over the top of the fridge and secure it to the D rings on the sides of the cargo space so in a hard stop the frame is not taking the dynamic load of the fridge.

Hi Peter,

What brand of geyser is that? I have a similar one in the van but they don't make them anymore and have been replaced with these:
