Strapping it down securely should be fine if you are not worried about theft, not that it's any more secure on a slider.
However, if you have no canopy the fridge will be exposed to the elements; sun, dust, rain etc.
Your electrical points may be affected.
You'd need to find a way of protecting it..

Get some 9mm or 12mm PVC sheeting, some Connect-It tubes & connectors, a piano hinge & a clip & then build a box for it.
Just remember to drill holes for airflow at the correct place...

I have two fridges in the back of my 79. Made a angle iron frame in which they fit right behind the cab. I don`t even strap them down.

Yip all depending how rough you trip
With the weight in the Fridge my fridges don't move around un strapped as Grips mentioned
Best is to do a trip or 2 and figure out what your requirements are
Then buil like they say
Measure twice cut once
