We all love the convenience of setting up our fridge, chucking a bunch of our favorite bevvies in there when leaving town, and being able to crack icy cold one\u2019s all night long at camp. But how can you extend the range of your 12v refrigeration system, without needing a jumpstart in the morning!<\/p>\n
These are our top 5 pointers to getting the most out of your Adventure Kings 60L Fridge\/Freezer <\/strong><\/a>running at its most efficient.<\/p>\n Seeing as the capacity and power source that runs a 12v fridge isn\u2019t nearly as powerful as your fridge at home, these tips could really save your hide when push comes to shove in the bush! 1.Keep cool!<\/strong><\/p>\n The first trick to getting the most out of your 12v refrigerator is by making sure all your drinks and food are well chilled before you chuck them in. If you fail to prechill all of your food and drinks your fridge has to not only cool itself down to your desired temperature but then it has to push even harder to try and cool down all of your goodies inside.<\/p>\n By chucking all your meat and even a couple of freezer blocks in the freezer at home before you leave, you can pre chill your fridge and reduce the amount of battery capacity needed to drop the mercury inside your fridge!<\/p>\n 2.Keep it topped up The reason a fridge likes to be full is because it has less air to chill, this rule seems counter intuitive but the icy cold air is prone to leaking regardless of how good your fridge seals are, and on top of that every time you open your fridge, all of the air, your trusty fridge worked hard to cool down is lost.<\/p>\n So by keeping your fridge full, even with spare water bottles, you\u2019ll find your fridge doesn\u2019t have to kick in to rechill all that empty space!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.Clear space<\/strong> <\/p>\n By fitting a set of Titan Rear Drawers<\/strong><\/a> in the rear of your vehicle you can fasten your fridge to the tie down points on the included fridge slide and easily keep the area around the fridge compressor free, to allow air to circulate and remove excess heat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.Keep your cabin temps down<\/strong><\/p>\n The easiest way to Improve your refrigerators performance is by reducing the temperature within the cab of your vehicle. This can be difficult and just like the warnings about leaving your kids or pets in the car, your vehicle on a sunny 30 degree day can reach temps in excess of 65 celcius in under an hour.<\/p>\n To help keep your 4WD cooler you need to introduce air circulation, by fitting a side awning<\/strong> <\/a>and rear awning<\/a><\/strong> you can keep your rear door open and your windows cracked no matter what the weather is. Meaning no matter how warm the day your fridge can breathe! No matter how good your fridge is, more insulation can improve the performance and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

\nJust like you, your 12v fridge<\/strong><\/a> loves to be kept topped up with food and beers, so be a responsible fridge owner and make sure you keep your fridge full!<\/p>\n
\nBy crowding your fridge in the cab of your vehicle it\u2019s easy to believe that you are helping to insulate it from warm air in the vehicle. In reality what is happening is quite the contrary, by crowding your refrigerator you are preventing the refrigerators components from removing excess heat, meaning your refrigerator will struggle to stay cool and possibly overheat.<\/p>\n
