A <strong>CAR</strong> <strong>FRIDGE</strong> <strong>–</strong> <strong>CAMPING</strong> <strong>REQUISITE</strong><br />
If you spend most of your time on the road, out-and-about, and on-the-go, then you will find a car<br />
fridge necessary for your adventures. It can be handy when you love camping, too, as it provides a<br />
convenient vessel that will keep your drinks and some types of food cool, or in some cases, frozen for<br />
as long as you need them to be. Unlike the typical cooler that requires you to replenish the ice, a<br />
portable car fridge is plugged into your vehicle’s 12-volt electrical system to keep running. This can be<br />
convenient if you are in the middle of nowhere and there is no convenience store or shop to buy ice.<br />
Car fridges come in different sizes to meet your needs. A larger one may mean more capacity, but the<br />
current draw will be much greater, and it will occupy more space. You need to consider the fridge’s<br />
weight when it is fully loaded, too, and make sure that it will not push your vehicle beyond its GVM<br />
(gross vehicle mass). Otherwise, it could affect fuel efficiency. So, be sure to pick a car fridge that is<br />
just right for your usual camping trips and for your vehicle. The 40L fridge is the standard size, and it<br />
can fit around 60 cans, making it ideal for a long weekend for two to three people.<br />
A portable car fridge usually runs with the same compressor technology as the regular home fridge,<br />
except that they require a 12-volt battery. Despite the way they work, there is nothing to worry about<br />
your car battery getting drained, as they are not designed to draw a lot of current. Some fridge may be<br />
able to run on mains electricity or a solar panel, too, making them more flexible for every application.<br />
They work well, even under high ambient temperatures and hot cars, and some can function as<br />
freezers to keep some perishables or iced treats good. Consider a car fridge that works on inclines and<br />
uneven terrain.<br />
If you are set to go on a camping trip any time soon, consider looking into the selection of car fridges<br />
from a reputable retailer. Be sure to check out the products from brands like Dometic, Camec,<br />
Bushman, Dometic Waeco, and Evacool, and compare their prices and specifications to find the<br />
perfect fridge for your needs.
