RE: Racks in Fridge (2002 Coleman Utah)

[MidwestCampers]

 
Hi, I was at www.popupcamping.com checking out the mods and loved the shelves in the fridge!  The shelves their fridge have cut outs so you can fit a 1/2 gallon container.  Ours go all the way across.  Anyone know where to get those shelves?  Maybe I need to go back to that website and see if it mentions it.  But thought I would ask, just in case!  Thank you!

Yeah, I ve seen the racks on that site before, but of course never in any stores.
 
 Here s the weird thing though;
 1/2 gallon milk containers fit in our 1.9 cubic foot fridge perfectly.  I have yet to figure out (or always forget to look at other PU s) what is different about our shelves from other  02 Coleman s.

Half gallon fits in the door of our fridge.

 You ve got the 2.5 cubic foot fridge with the shelf in the door that comes standard in the Bayside, Niagara, & now Monterey.
 
 The Utah s fridge does not have a door shelf.

I m one of those Utah owners that like the shelves in the frige. I purchased a rubbermade container that is squat and put milk into that, from the gallon at home.
 
 Since we will occassionally take a bottle of wine, I prefer the shelves that go straight across [].
 
 I would check with a Coleman dealer. Maybe they can order those selves from old stock? It might be worth a try.

My 1999 Coleman has the cut out and I can put 2 half gallon milk or juice containers in the cut out spot.

We always bring milk and OJ so I just took one shelf out of there. I use it in the cabinet just inside to the right of the door. I put the shelf on the wheel well and cover it with the spongy shelf liner and store my pots and pans there. I can use the floor and now I have a shelf. There are, however, just 2 of us...that could make a difference.

 Thanks for the mod.!  Great pic s., directions, and descriptions!!
 I did it this morning in under 20 minutes.  It ll be nice to only have to bring 1 gallon of milk with us (instead of 2 - 1/2 gallons).

chasd60   thank you for such detailed instructions. I plan on making this  mod, as soon as we pop him back up! I hated bringing half gallons only to have them lay on their sides and leak( those caps are not the tightest)
