If when you\u2019re on the road on the road, you want nothing more than easy access to cold food and even colder drinks then an upright fridge<\/a><\/strong> may be the perfect choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are many benefits to a standard portable fridge\/freezer like Kings 45L Stayzcool Fridge \/ Freezer<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>an upright fridge with freezer<\/a><\/strong> has the benefit of incredibly easy access to all your goodies inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the fact an upright fridge<\/strong> <\/a>sits upright this means the door hinge can swing open like your fridge or freezer at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is opposed to a normal portable fridge\/freezer <\/a><\/strong>that opens like a chest as they do no sit upright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some upright fridges with freezers<\/a><\/strong> allow you to remove the handle and hinge and re-install them on the other side allowing the door to either open from the right or to open from the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They call this model feature a Reversable door.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature makes for an easy installation as it can be tailored to suit your desired setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the upright fridge<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>can be modified to your liking it makes it perfectly designed for all the Australian caravan, 4wd and camping people out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to remember some camp fridges<\/a><\/strong> are solely fridges only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However other portable fridges<\/strong><\/a> that stand upright like The Adventure Kings Upright 85L Fridge with freezer<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>have a dedicated freezer<\/a><\/strong> compartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re after one with a freezer<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>compartment, be sure to look out for a 12V fridge<\/a><\/strong> that have both an included ice tray and an internal magnetic door, keeping those frozen peas at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internal door not only helps keep your frozen items more secure but stops the even more precious cold air from the freezer escaping when you are accessing the fridge only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A desired temperature range for a travel fridge<\/strong><\/a> freezer compartment is around -15\u00b0C ~ -05\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the fridge compartment a good temperature range is between 0 ~ +10\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help the fridge<\/a><\/strong> and the freezers<\/a><\/strong> run at maximum efficiency it\u2019s a good rule of thumb to look out for a Camping<\/a> fridge<\/a> <\/strong>that uses a thick rubber seal around the door to not only keep the cold air in but the weather and bugs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the more premium models like The Adventure Kings Upright 85L Fridge with freezer<\/a><\/strong> are designed with some creature comforts. Examples of these can be an automatic LED light that turns on when the campervan fridge <\/strong>door opens, which comes extremely handy whilst camping at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other good features to look out for are a simple to use thermostat.
Some companies can try to market high tech \u201cyou beaut\u201d thermostats with all the bells and whistles.
When really at the end of the day all you really want is a simple thermostat that you can set and forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Majority of compressor fridge <\/a><\/strong>models do come with shelves however a big plus is ones that have an Adjustable wire rack (for taller items). This allows you to configure your upright fridge<\/strong> <\/a>in whatever setup you like, it even allows you to remove shelves if that\u2019s what suits your needs. So adjustable wire racks are a small detail but do make life a lot easier when it comes to camper fridge<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>models. For example, The Adventure Kings Upright 85L Fridge with freezer<\/a> <\/strong>comes with three Adjustable wire racks (for taller items).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Adventure Kings Upright 85L Fridge<\/a> <\/strong>also comes with two door pockets capable of fitting 10 of your favourite cans making it a great fridge away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When on the road the ride isn\u2019t always as smooth as hoped for and especially if you\u2019re 4wding off the beaten track then you\u2019re in for a wild ride and so is your travel fridge<\/strong><\/a>. That is why a quality latch system is vital to stop that portable<\/strong> fridge<\/strong><\/a> door from flying open. Some 12V fridge<\/a> <\/strong>models have a magnetic seal that pulls the door shut as its closing. Other brands choose to install a physical latch that latches shut as the door closes and requires you to undo the latch to open the door. Models such as the Adventure Kings Upright 85L Fridge<\/a> <\/strong>have a two-latch system. Both a Magnetic seal and also a physical latch, this truly ensures that door isn\u2019t coming open even on the toughest of tracks. So with the Kings Upright Fridge<\/a> <\/strong>there will be no crying over spilt milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compressor fridge<\/a><\/strong> models come in various sizes and how the internal size is measured is in litres. The number of litres a fridge has tells you the amount of space inside to store your food and drinks. Most Camp fridges<\/a> <\/strong>are about the size of a bar fridge. However unlike at home the size and weight are extremely important that is why an 85L upright fridge<\/a><\/strong> is the perfect size. As the 85L<\/strong> Upright Fridge<\/strong><\/a> is not too large that it will impede your storage space in your car, van, campervan or camper trailer. But at the same time though the 85L<\/a><\/strong> is also not too small that you will not have enough space inside to store enough food for your trip. This is practically important if you are traveling remote. So an 85L<\/a><\/strong> is a great goldilocks size \u201cjust right\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although not all 85L upright fridges<\/a> <\/strong>are built the same they come in various sizes and weights. External dimensions of 475 x 550 x 625mm (LxWxH) like the King upright fridge with freezer<\/a> <\/strong>make for a good size for a cabinet install. Not all brands sell their compressor fridges<\/strong><\/a> with included trim kits so look for brands such as kings<\/a><\/strong> that include these kits with their 85L fridges.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although size is key, Weight is probably more important and for an 85L<\/a><\/strong> a good Nett Weight is 21.5kg with a gross weight of 24.5kg. A lot of the weight is attributed to the type of compressor used in the camper fridge<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s extremely important when purchasing you look for an upright fridge<\/a><\/strong> that uses a quality compressor brand. Secop compressor is a well-known and extremely reliable brand so search for a fridge that features a Genuine Secop Compressor like the Adventure Kings Upright 85L Fridge<\/a>. <\/strong>Secop Compressors are known to run highly efficiently at low noise with incredible reliability. Reliability is also important so hunt for a brand like kings <\/a><\/strong>that offer a 5 year warranty on their 85L upright fridge with freezer.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in conclusion transportable fridges<\/strong> <\/a>come in various shapes, sizes, weights and features but if you use this guide it will help you make the right choice.  Campervan fridges<\/strong><\/a> are extremely convenient allowing you easy access to everything you need in seconds. Making them a particularly great choice for caravans, campervans and vans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


So if an 12V fridge<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>sounds like it\u2019s the right choice for you,
