We are going to run through some of the MUST HAVE FEATURES when you are shopping around for your new portable fridge freezer for camping trips away.<\/p>\n
The most important feature to look at when checking out new fridges is an internal compressor with copper plumbing (not aluminium) it is less likely fatigued with vibrations and also offers excellent heat transfer.
There are other types of fridge that use thermoelectric technology, which is nowhere near as effective or efficient at keeping your food and drinks cold and generally much smaller in capacity due to limitations in the technology.
The benefits to having an internal compressor is the speed at which the fridge can cool down as well as the ability for the compressor to run with a \u201cDuty cycle\u201d which means once the fridge has cooled a thermistor (electric thermometer) can switch the compressor off, which results in extremely minimal power usage.<\/p>\n
Because of the closed system within a compressor fridge, the ability to control the refrigeration system is incredibly high and with a dual battery system or a solar panel setup can be run virtually cost free and indefinitely! One thing to be critical of when choosing a compressor fridge is the reliability of the compressor.<\/p>\n

The additional benefits to the Compressor style fridges is the ability to set the temperature to maintain the perfect state for your perishables with the Adventure Kings Range being able to chill from a comfortable 10\u00b0C down to a frosty -18\u00b0C, with such a vast range you can use a compressor fridge to suit anything from keeping ice blocks frozen to stopping the salad from going funny on a hot summer day.
The next thing to look out for when your portable fridge freezer is the ability to operate on multiple voltages, such as 12V DC and 240V AC this means you can take advantage of your fridge operating as a bar fridge at home, and even pre-chill your fridge before you leave for your trip. This makes a portable fridge extremely versatile for on the tracks.
When you are hitting the tracks, the likelihood of your fridge sitting still in the back is very unlikely, and whilst many 4WD\u2019s are fitted with heavy duty tie downs in the cargo area in the back. your refrigerator should be fitted with heavy duty handles that can be used to tie it down.
When we are at camp, digging blindly into your fridge when it is dark doesn\u2019t seem like a great idea \u2013 an automatic light in your portable refrigeration is essential when you are hanging out at camp at night time.<\/p>\n
