When you’re spending weeks or months in your RV, having a camper refrigerator to keep food and drinks cool is essential. Some models are essentially well-ventilated coolers that hold only a few bottles of beverages, but others offer ample storage space for food, vegetables and leftovers. Plus, many use compressor refrigeration technology to provide fast cooling with energy efficiency. And some can run on AC or LP gas power, giving you flexibility when boondocking.
Choosing the best fridge for your camper also depends on how you plan to use it. For example, if you want to cook inside your RV often and store large items in the freezer, consider a built-in RV fridge with a separate freezer. This model from Alpicool features adjustable shelves to accommodate taller items and two produce "crisper" drawers as well. It also has a digital control panel with modes that increase or decrease energy efficiency.
Another option for those who prefer to cook outside their RV is the absorption fridge. These work by using a propane flame to heat up gas sealed in tubes inside the fridge. The fridge then uses that gas to generate electricity for the motor that drives the fans that circulate air to cool things down. This type of fridge is quiet and uses very little propane, so it’s great for boondocking and camping off grid.
Whatever kind of fridge you have, it’s important to defrost the fridge on a regular basis. Also, be sure to limit how full it is – when the fridge is too full, air can’t circulate correctly, which makes it harder for the fridge to keep things cool. You should also invest in a thermometer to monitor the temperature of your fridge (the ideal is below 40 degrees F).
