REFRIGERATION

Possibly the most important of any appliances in your RV or Caravan is the fridge.

We can supply or supply and fit any of the well known recreational fridges on the Australian market.

We have the choice of 3 way fridges, (gas, 240 volt, and 12 volt), absorption fridges or low current 12 volt or 240 volt compressor fridges which are great for anyone wanting to spend a lot if time off grid. Both types of fridge are available in upright permanently fixed or portable chest type fridges.

3 WAY FRIDGES 

3 way fridges as the name suggest can be powered by 3 way, gas 240 volt mains power or 12 volt DC power. Whilst stationary the fridge is made to run off 240 volt if mains power is available or gas if 240 volt is not available or if you are free camping. The 12 volt provision on a 3 way fridge is generally only to be used during transit when the power source is delivered by a running vehicles car battery as the vehicles alternator carries the current. The 3 way fridge is the most commonly used fridge in caravans.

COMPRESSOR FRIDGES

Compressor fridges are gaining popularity with caravan owners and especially campers as they are can be run off a standalone 12 volt battery for extended periods. They can also be powered by 240 volt mains power where available. Compressor fridges naturally lend themselves to free camping as they are extremely efficient on power and can be run purely off a deep cycle 12 volt battery. Combine this battery with a quality solar package and the fridge can be run almost indefinitely without any other form of power.

Why bother with an RV fridge when you can get a cheaper bar fridge you ask? Well the answer is a house hold fridge is not made to be banged about whilst travelling down roads, a household fridge’s efficiency is much lower than that of an RV fridge, being a house hold fridge you only have the option of one power source which limits its usage and RV fridges are made more compact and offer more internal space for their overall dimensions.
