Explore Different Types of Camping Fridges

When it comes to keeping your food and drinks cold in Australia's hot climate, traditional coolers and ice boxes may not be sufficient. That's where camping fridges come in. At Barbeques Galore, we offer a variety of camping fridges that provide long-lasting cold storage without the need for ice. Our fridges offer superior temperature control and the option of a camping freezer. Before making a choice, consider whether you need a single-zone or dual-zone unit to suit your camping needs.

Single-Zone vs Dual-Zone Camping Fridges

At Barbeques Galore, we understand that every camper has unique requirements. That's why we offer a range of camping fridges in different shapes, sizes, and configurations. One important consideration is whether you need a single-zone or dual-zone fridge. Our dual-zone units feature two compartments, allowing you to use the fridge as both a camping fridge and a freezer simultaneously. Some models even offer the flexibility to convert the entire unit into either a fridge or a freezer by removing the internal divider. On the other hand, our single-zone units have a single compartment that can function as either a fridge or a freezer at any given time.

Powering Your Camping Fridge Made Easy

When it comes to powering your camping fridge, Barbeques Galore has you covered. Our camping fridges can be powered by 12/24V, and many models come with a 240V transformer for mains power when available. If you plan to run your fridge on battery power while parked or camping, we recommend setting up a dual battery system. This involves connecting an auxiliary battery to your vehicle's original starting battery to power your camping fridge and other 12V accessories. To ensure your batteries are charged when your vehicle is not running, consider using solar panels or a generator as a power source.

Everything You Need to Know About Car Fridges

What are the benefits of a car fridge?

A car fridge is a portable cooling device that you can plug into your vehicle’s 12-volt power system and keep your food and drinks chilled or frozen for as long as you want. Unlike a cooler or esky, a car fridge does not require any ice or ice packs, which means you can save space and money. A car fridge also allows you to adjust the temperature settings according to your preferences and needs.

How long can a car fridge run on a car battery?

The answer depends on various factors, such as the size and type of your car battery, the size and model of your car fridge, the ambient temperature, and how often you open and close the fridge. Generally speaking, a 12V car fridge can run for about 12 to 25 hours on a 12V lead acid battery, assuming that the battery is fully charged and only discharges to 50% to avoid damaging the battery life. However, this is only an estimate and may vary depending on the actual conditions. To get more accurate information, you should read the product specifications or consult with our friendly staff.

How to choose the right car fridge for camping?

The best car fridge for camping depends on your personal needs and preferences. Some of the factors that you should consider are:

• The size and capacity of the fridge: You should choose a fridge that can fit in your vehicle and store enough food and drinks for your camping trip. For example, if you are camping alone or with a partner, a 40-litre car fridge might be enough, but if you are camping with a large family or group, you might need a 65-litre or larger car fridge.
• The functionality and features of the fridge: You should look for a fridge that has a reliable and efficient cooling system, a durable and sturdy design, a user-friendly interface, and some extra features that can enhance your camping experience. For example, some fridges have dual zones that allow you to set different temperatures for the fridge and freezer compartments, some have digital displays that show the current temperature and battery level, and some have USB ports that let you charge your devices.
• The price and warranty of the fridge: You should compare the prices and warranties of different fridges and find the one that offers the best value for money. You should also check the reviews and ratings of other customers who have bought and used the fridges.

How much power does a car fridge consume?

The power consumption of a car fridge depends on its size, model, temperature setting, and usage frequency. Generally, most car fridges use between 1 to 4 amps per hour over a 24-hour period. If you are using a car fridge without a freezer, you can expect to use around 1 to 3 amps per hour.
