If you’ve been shopping for a camping fridge in the last couple of years you’ve easily come across one of the incredible value Kings Fridge Freezers, which offer state of the art refrigerator internal components and incredible efficient practical portable refrigeration for a fraction of the price other retailers can offer. This is through dealing direct to the public, skipping middleman mark ups found in traditional retail settings.


The range of Adventure Kings Fridge Freezers are already super-efficient thanks to their legendary SECOP compressors and high quality, high efficiency insulation but no matter what brand you choose for your camping setup,

There are still plenty of ways you can help your fridge run cooler, so here are our favourite 10 tips that’ll help your fridge run cooler, whilst using less energy;

1. If you’re planning longer trips you absolutely need to invest in a dual battery system to run your Adventure Kings Fridge/Freezer longer without damaging your crank battery – a deep cycle battery is the way to go, and will let you stay off grid without starting your motor, for a few days depending on your fridge settings and whether or not you have 12v Solar installed

1. Before you leave home, pack your food and drinks into your kitchen fridge so they can chill down. Then, before you leave, transfer them into your Adventure Kings Fridge/Freezer.
2. Plug your Adventure Kings Fridge/Freezer into mains power at home to chill it down to temperature. Adventure Kings Fridge/Freezer is able to run on 12,24 and 240 volt power – so take advantage of this by plugging it in at home the night before your trip so it’s frosty cold and ready to go before you hit the road.
3. While you’re away on your trip, minimize the amount of time your Adventure Kings Fridge/Freezer is open – just like at the local corner store, decide what you want before you open the fridge! Similarly, be a good mate and ask if anyone else needs something while you’re up – that’ll reduce the number of times your fridge door is openend and closed reducing the energy required to chill down.
4. If you need to restock the fridge, do it before bed – the cooler overnight temperature means the restocked bevvies are already a bit cooler to begin with, coupled with the lower ambient temps, your fridge can chill down much quicker with less effort.  Plus there’s no one opening it up for at least a few good hours of refrigeration time – that way your Adventure Kings Fridge/Freezer isn’t constantly interrupted.
5. Ensure your Adventure Kings Fridge/Freezer has plenty of external space around the compressor it needs room to breathe to run effectively– don’t pack it in too tightly so that it can’t expel the hot air coming out of the condenser. This will make your fridge work overtime and use more power than required.
6. Keep your Adventure Kings Fridge/Freezer out of the sun. The sun will heat the outside of your fridge and transfer that heat through the insulation and into the fridge itself. So aim to place your fridge in the shade whenever you can – if you fridge always lives in the back of your car, consider a sun shade or a rear awning to give it all the shade and ventilation it needs!
7. Similar to tip 6 – if you need to leave your Adventure Kings Fridge/freezer in your vehicle, always ensure you leave the windows down or doors open to promote good, fresh air flow. The interior of your car can get significantly hotter than the outside temperature – particularly if it’s closed up and in the summer sun!
8. To add another layer of insulation, you can easily zip on a fridge bag or fridge cover. Adventure Kings offers fridge covers for the whole range for an extra layer of insulation and protection.
9. If you’re using your fridge regularly, invest in a quality Adventure Kings Solar Panel. These are a virtually cost free way of recharging your batteries and keeping your fridge running 24/7 – and they couldn’t be easier to use. Just set and forget!
