There’s nothing worse than soggy food, melted ice, or warm drinks halfway through your camping trip. While traditional eskies and iceboxes do the job for a night or two, if you’re heading off-grid for longer, you’ll want something that keeps your food reliably cold without needing a noisy, fuel-hungry generator.
That’s where 12V fridge/freezers come in. At All 12 Volt, we specialise in portable, low-draw refrigeration that runs on battery or solar power—quietly, efficiently, and without the mess.
Here’s how you can ditch the generator and still keep your food and drinks cold for days (or even weeks) on the road.
✅ Silent operation
✅ Low power usage
✅ Can run from your car, dual battery, or solar system
✅ No fuel, fumes, or noise
✅ Perfect for caravans, camper trailers, and 4WD setups
A 12V fridge allows true off-grid freedom—ideal for national parks, remote campsites, and beach trips where generators aren’t allowed.
Works like a household fridge using a small compressor
Excellent cooling performance, even in 40°C+ conditions
Efficient and ideal for battery or solar setups
This is what we stock at All 12 Volt—proven to perform in Aussie heat.
Inexpensive, but poor performance
Struggles to cool more than 20°C below ambient temperature
Not suitable for hot climates or extended trips
Run your fridge from a secondary battery (AGM or lithium) to avoid flattening your starter battery. Pair it with a DC-DC charger or solar panel for continuous charging.
Portable solar panels or roof-mounted systems will keep your fridge powered throughout the day. A 200W solar setup can comfortably support most 12V fridges.

Who does not love the outdoors and camping? It's a great adventure and opens up new destinations and often unexplored places.
