When you’re travelling in your caravan, keeping your food edible, fresh, and safe should be the least of your worries, this is possible if you have a 12V fridge. It’s a must-have appliance so you can store fresh and temperature-sensitive food and drinks, plus you can keep your leftovers for brekky the next day! These fridges come in a wide range of different sizes, so there should be an appropriate size to suit your food storage needs. Even the smallest size is powerful and reliable enough to maintain the right temperature to keep food in good condition, while running quietly to prevent any disruptions and unnecessary noise in your caravan.

Having a 12V fridge is more cost-effective than relying on conventional cooling methods while travelling. This is because you will have to refill it with ice regularly, which is not only expensive over time but can be very inconvenient to do when you’re miles away from the next convenience store or petrol station. Moreover, when you store your perishables and other temperature-sensitive goods in a regular cooler, you do not have much control over the temperature. This can be ...
... risky as if your food spoils, you’ll be throwing away valuable money.

With a 12V fridge, you don’t have to worry about buying ice, drinks that have failed to get cold, or food spoilage. It can run 24/7, and it can be powered by your battery or generator, in case of a power outage or absence of mains power. High-quality 12V fridges are cost-effective and energy-efficient, with minimal energy draw from your power supply. That makes them an excellent investment for frequent travellers.

As you explore the range of 12V fridges, you are likely to find space-efficient units like an entry level 40L model, and the range goes up to a whopping 285 litres, which is ideal for a larger group of travellers. The 12V fridge is also a handy appliance to have on your boat. Dometic, Evakool, Engel and Bushman are just some of the brands of fridges that offer an array of products that should suit your needs. They come with advanced features to ensure efficient operation, quiet operation, and temperature control. Some models have a built-in voltage transformer so you can power the fridge from your generator or batteries without using a separate adapter.
