It runs on 12v and 24v, so truckies, couriers and those who work behind the wheel will love it too. Imagine how much you\u2019d save, making your own tucker and being able to keep it cold and fresh instead of relying on servos and takeaways \u2013 and how much healthier you\u2019d eat too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 560mm long by 240mm wide by 375mm high, it fits perfectly between the front seats of many vehicles as a centre console replacement, and also features this clever belt-loop for securing onto a bench seat with a seatbelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s for keeping food and drink cold and within easy reach up front, or as a freezer for longer trips, you\u2019ll deadset love the new Adventure Kings 15L Centre Console Fridge Freezer<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 especially when you see the price!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I\u2019m going to show you just how easy it is to mount the Adventure Kings 15L centre console fridge<\/a><\/strong> into your vehicle, replacing your factory centre console. This install will vary depending on your vehicle type but this should give you a pretty good idea of how to go about it no matter the vehicle type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we get started you\u2019ll first need to check that the centre console fridge<\/a><\/strong> will fit between the driver and passenger seats. You\u2019ll need to ensure there\u2019s adequate airflow to these vents on the front of the centre console fridge freezer so it can run effectively. Righto, the 12v fridge freezer<\/strong><\/a> measures in at 235mm wide and I have a perfect size gap between the two seats to fit it in. That gives me just enough on either side to play with which is plenty. Next step is to rip out the factory centre console – just look for the screws that\u2019ll be holding it in \u2013 in your vehicle they may even be behind trim pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve got your centre console out, you\u2019ll want to make up a nice flat base to position the camping fridge<\/a><\/strong> on, and keep it protected from the heat of the transmission tunnel. I\u2019ve made mine by cutting out a piece of cardboard the same size as the base of the fridge, then adding about 20mm on the sides and about 50mm on the front and back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve then cut out a spot for my coin tray and handbrake lever, and then traced the cardboard template onto 20mm ply and cut it out with a circular saw and jigsaw. I\u2019m also using these factory mounting points for the centre console to bolt down my base. After I drilled out the holes to bolt down the base, I\u2019ve chucked some heavy duty marine carpet on top for a nice factory finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s time to bolt the base down and figure out how you\u2019re going to secure the camping fridge<\/a><\/strong> to it. So the fridge looks unreal sitting on top of my base, so I\u2019ve quickly run to the local hardware store and picked up a set of these d-ring anchor points. Now because I have limited space to play with at the front of the fridge, I\u2019m only running one at the front, but I will run 2 at the back. Add in a couple of Adventure Kings fridge tie-down straps<\/strong> <\/a>and your new centre console fridge<\/a><\/strong> is mounted firm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now onto the wiring. The Adventure Kings Centre Console fridge-freezer<\/a><\/strong> comes with a fridge cord, which I\u2019m going to run neatly under the front of the centre console and plug it directly into my factory cig-soc outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This factory plug has actually been wired up to my auxiliary battery using the Adventure Kings Fridge Wiring Kit<\/strong>,<\/a> so that way it\u2019s not draining my starter battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your wiring is all done, give everything a good tidy up and a vacuum and check the centre-console fridge works correctly by pressing this on button. Once the display screen appears, you can now adjust your temperature from 10\u00b0c all the way down to -18\u00b0c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re going to love the Adventure Kings Centre Console Fridge Freezer. It\u2019s so handy having a genuine camping fridge\/freezer sitting right there next to the driver\u2019s seat \u2013 having cold water and snacks on hand within easy reach is a game changer! If you\u2019re like me and you do a lot of kays in your vehicle, this one will upgrade your driving experience like nothing else. It\u2019s fantastic if you\u2019ve already got a full-sized portable camping fridge<\/a><\/strong> mounted in the rear of your vehicle or in your offroad camper trailer<\/a><\/strong>, and even if you don\u2019t use it for snacks you can set the temperature down as low as -18\u00b0C to use it as a camping freezer!<\/a><\/strong> That means your food will stay fresher for longer even on those big trips. I have never looked back since installing the Kings centre console fridge<\/strong> <\/a>into my 4WD, and I know you\u2019ll be the same, whether it\u2019s in a camping rig, a work truck or van or anything in between!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
