No not those drawers....caravan drawers. We have a Swift which is new to us and the drawers and cupboards keep coming open in transit. It never hapened on the old van we had, a Swift also. Last time out even the top plate rack cupboard came open and plates smashed everywhere. I have put extra magnettes on some drawers where I was able but they still come open even when almost empty. Before you say anything about my driving....I dont throw the van about or speed. It's got to the stage where we take the drawers out and put them on the floor and wedge the lower cupboards shut with them. Anyone got any suggestions?

Is it possible to use strong elastic to secure the handles/knobs so they are anchored. Perhaps you can wedge them with something?

You could stick them with duct tape, it won't leave a mark. Not the ideal solution; we have to do this with the top of the chest of drawers on our Swift.
