What Type and Size Caravan Fridge Do You Need?
The right caravan fridge depends on your setup, travel style, and how long you stay on the road. Smaller compressor fridges suit campers and 4WDs, while larger upright fridge freezers are ideal for caravans and RVs.
Compact units between 40L and 95L are great for weekend getaways and portable setups. 130–230L upright fridges offer more storage space and suit families or long adventures. Choose the size and design that fits your caravan setup and keeps your food and drinks cool on every adventure.

Caravan Fridge FAQs
Do caravan fridges need to be level?
Yes. 3-way absorption fridges must sit level to cool properly since they rely on gas flow inside the system. Compressor fridges can handle small angles but still work best on steady ground.
Can I run my caravan fridge on gas while driving?
No. Gas operation should only be used when parked. Use the 12V mode while driving, then switch back to gas or 240V power when you stop.
What’s the difference between a compressor and a 3-way fridge?
A compressor fridge runs on 12V, 24V, or 240V and cools quickly, making it great for solar or battery setups. A 3-way absorption fridge can also use gas, which suits free camping and off-grid trips, but it must stay level to perform well.
How can I keep my caravan fridge efficient?
Leave enough space behind the fridge for air to flow and prevent heat build-up. Keep the vents clear and check the door seals often to make sure they close tightly. Worn or loose seals can let warm air in and make the compressor work harder. Regular cleaning and correct installation help maintain steady temperature and energy efficiency.
