Product Information

If you’re trying to keep your campervan really basic, you could get by without a campervan fridge. In cool weather, you could rely on a coolbox or just the cold spaces in your cupboards. However, if you want to explore off-grid for multiple days in a row, a proper camper fridge will let you store food for longer and give you the flexibility to cook tasty food from fresh ingredients. Therefore, you can open the fridge and freezer sides separately. If you live in a van or an RV full-time, you might prefer this larger version. When you first start googling ‘campervan fridge’, you’ll come across the terms compressor , absorption , 2 way and 3 way . This mix and match of terms can get a bit confusing.

Because they generate quite a lot of excess heat, some manufacturers will insist that one or two vents are installed on the outside wall of your camper, to help cool the fridge’s mechanism.

Small domestic fridges are often much cheaper than 12V camper fridges, but can they be installed in a campervan? Technically, they can, but there’s a few reasons why we’d strongly recommend against this. Having said that, both models have a significant difference in wattage. The 80 Liter Costway uses 85 watts vs Alpicool’s 45 watts. You probably expected this variance in power consumption, due to the size difference.
