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