Caravan fridge problems

Do you have a gas, 2-way or 3-way caravan fridge that struggles to get cold? You’re not alone.

Caravan fridge repair?

Fridges that operate on LPG have an absorption cooling system, which makes them best for fixed, off-grid living or longer term camping. These days, absorption cooling systems are no longer the first choice for mobile situations like caravans, RV’s or boats, especially in warmer weather.
To find out why, take a look at this list of requirements that an absorption fridge needs to work efficiently in a caravan:
  1. A 100% stable and level surface.
  2. Extensive and correct ventilation.
  3. To be kept away from heat sources like a stove, oven or direct sunlight.
  4. Clean gas and a maintained burner
  5. A “T” tropical rating for use in a cavity, as most absorption fridges are not tropical rated for built-in installations.
As you can see from the list above, an absorption fridge is not always a great match for a caravan. So before you book your gas caravan fridge in for repair, it might be time to consider upgrading your fridge to a compressor model.

What is the best type of fridge for a caravan?

DC compressor fridges are without doubt the best choice for any mobile use. Whether it’s in a caravan, RV, boat, bus, 4WD or 5th wheeler, you will always be happy with your decision to go with a compressor fridge.

 

Why?

These fridges are specifically designed for built-in installations and mobile use. They cool down fast, stay cold and require almost no maintenance. Also, DC compressor fridges will operate effectively on angles up to 30º and while underway.

All compressor fridges made by Bushman are tropical rated for use in a cavity, include a mounting kit and are available for free shipping Australia wide.
