This may have been addressed, but if it was I cant find it.

Looking to tips/tricks to keeping cans organized in my drink fridge. Pictures or links appreciated!!

All is fine when I have a full fridge, but as it empties out, they start falling over, occasionally, puncturing, and making a mess. Standard 12 oz are pretty easy but with all the mini, tall/skinny variations these days, its hard to keep a neat fridge

Was hoping for something to clip on the wire racks or slide in.
 
We don’t have too many issues with the boat, at only 8 cu ft, things are packed in pretty good. I have a can caddy for my beers. At 18 cu ft the RV is a different story and things fall and move around much more than the boat. We use refrigerator bars, and a few clear plastic refrigerator bins. Maybe you could find some smaller ones that would work. Search RV refrigerator organization.
 
How about something like foam? Light foam (not dense) so it can squish in there easily and adapt to any shape it needs to based on the number of (or lack of) cans and other things. Go to a local fabric store - they sell all kinds of foam. Buy a chunk of it and cut it to the size (or maybe a couple different sized pieces) you need. Move the cans to back of the fridge, set the foam in front of them and used the door to compress the foam (of course, use the door lock). I'm thinking something like 3" or 4" thick foam.
 
Not sure if this helps you but I keep a mini tension rod just inside the door in the front of mine to keep the cans from flying out when you open the door after a bumpy ride. Sort of like a shower curtain rod, they make them in maybe 15-24" lengths. The kind that you thread out to set the length and use spring tension to hold it in place.
 
Found this. Expensive, but can be made a custom width. I’ll need to measure, and see if this also works with mini coke cans.

@Pirate Lady. New isotherm will freeze beer (had to turn it down a notch), so for normal outings, no ice required and beer is colder than from cooler. Plus I can spend all my money on beer, “artisanal” ice would crimp the budget!

My wife bought these bins this year…. Not for beer but all the other stuff in there. It’s nice to slide them out to get stuff in the back. They would work if just few beers

Just search can or water bottle organizer on Amazon. They come right up. The water bottle one fits seltzers better and colors light. The standard cans of beer or soda fit the others. I have three reg can and one water bottle organizer. Now they don’t tumble around anymore. Super easy to restock and take inventory to see what I need to bring back next time.

Everything I see lays the cans on their side...looking to keep cans vertical...its going in a Isotherm 65, so space is a premium.
 
I use those brown cardboard coffee cup holders you can get from Dunkin Donuts or 7-11... they hold 4 cans at a time and you can trim them to size.

Honestly you only lose the space of one can.
 
My beer sits on the side on the wire shelves up top. The wire prevents or limits sideways roll and the fridge is two tall boy cans deep. That top rack holds a lot of beer. Cans only on my boat.
 
We've tried sideways stacking, can racks and the trays. Right now, I'm cutting the beer case carboard to the right size to form a cardboard shelf on top of the fridge grates and then put the cans on top.
