On the way over Wayne but a bit hard on the way back when there is a container ion its spot (I hope).
Need to get my bus out and think about getting the house boat here and work on that. Just waiting to round up a crew for the trip down river. Most say 3 days me thinks a week or more.
12 × 5 house boat moored at the present in Mannum Waters Marina.

Now Wayne,

I trust you're installing indicator lights on the dash to show that all the draws and fridge doors (etc) are in the "latch ready" position too.

Otherwise, there just may be a niggling doubt whether the latches have locked.... Unless of course the crew members are trained on "latching and cross checking"

We always, well usually always anyway, do a 'Hostie Check" and make sure that all draws are closed and doors latched etc. If it isn't done properly then the first roundabout or sharp turn will almost certainly remind you.

All hooked to one circuit, on a checklist, switch before flight red flag sort of thing. I couldn't fit anything to the smaller drawers so they will get some 60kg electromagnets, triggered by pressure from these fridge and drawer locks.
At least with a motorhome we get the option of pulling up after the first crash (- I guess, first motorhomer here) -unlike with a van where you get the full damage list on opening the door apon arrival.
