BENEFITS AND USES OF PORTABLE CAMPING FRIDGE/FREEZER
Camping should be an exciting and fun activity, but it can be ruined by spoiled and stale food and noncold
beverages. While you have the option to carry a cooler, you would not want to run out of ice
while you are in the outback and far from the nearest store. This is where a portable camping
fridge/freezer can be a life-saver. It will run off your vehicle’s battery or an electrical mains outlet,
which means you do not have to worry about replenishing the supply of ice to keep your food and
beverages cold or frozen indefinitely. Some types of portable freezers and fridges can be run from a
solar panel while you are in the campsite, too.
Portable camping fridges and freezers come in different sizes and capacities, with the 40L to 60L units
being the most versatile for most needs. They are big enough for a long weekend, especially if you are
camping with more than three people. However, keep in mind that the bigger the fridge, the bigger
the space it will occupy in your vehicle, and the heavier it will be, especially when filled. Moreover,
larger fridges will need a higher current draw and they could push your vehicle beyond its GVM (gross
vehicle mass). You can consider a standard size (40L) and purchase expansion inserts if you need extra
capacity.
The biggest advantages of having a portable camping fridge/freezer is that it keeps your food and
beverages cold, but beyond that, it can provide additional storage by serving as an extension of an
RV’s fridge. Modern units are energy efficient and will not require too much power to run, while
making sure that they can keep your goods in good condition. High-quality portable compressor
fridge/freezers can keep running, even under high ambient temperatures and on uneven terrain.
Portable freezers and fridges for camping come in various colours, too. Carrying handles are usually
built into them for an easier way to transport and move from one place to another. Some units may
come with wheels, too. A lot of models come with stainless steel liners and other special features, like
an LED display and a digital thermometer to help you keep track of the status and temperature inside.
