*Australia's Best 12V Camping Fridge

Since 1998 our customers have thrown everything at this fridge. Rain, hail, sunshine, and it’s still going strong.

If you want a fridge that’s extremely light on power and proven reliable for more than 2 decades in Australia, look no further. The Original Bushman Fridge stands the test of time, 25 years and counting.

Bushmans unique 35L – 52L extension kit is included. So you can adjust the fridge from 35L to 45L and right up to 52L. There’s separate areas for your frozen food, fridge items, crisper and tall bottles. And the 3 stacking baskets make it easy to access food that’s on the bottom.

The extension kit is the best way to get more from your portable fridge investment.  It’s one of a kind, and only available from Bushman.
