Making the Difference with Bushman’s Philosophy:      Reliability through Simplicity

The Bushman principle is: A fridge should stay cold regardless of what you throw at it and should always be at the temperature you set it to. That is why Bushman Portable build all fridges out of steel. They do not make them out of plastic, and they do not include unnecessary gimmicks like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

This is a top seller for caravans, RV’s, tiny houses and smaller off-grid. An outstanding amount of space and value for money for a fridge of this size.

FAQ

Are Bushman Fridges an Australian Brand?

The brand puts its know-how into making portable fridges, compressor RV fridgesfridges for off-grid use and a folding solar panel. Another thing worth noting about Bushman is that since starting out in 1982, the brand has been an “100% Australian owned family company”. 

How much battery power and solar power do I need to run a Bushman Fridge?

This guide below will give you 3 days running time with absolutely zero sunshine and a maximum battery discharge of 60%. The solar panels are sized to charge your batteries back to 100% after a full day of sunshine. For lithium batteries you will only need 60% of the AGM Ah capacity shown below. You can get an idea for how much solar power is needed with this calculator.

We do offer batteries and solar power, you can browse through the links.

Does a 12V fridge need 240V built in? Why a 12V only fridge?

A dedicated 12V only fridge can be very efficient without 240V power and will run longer on less power usage. An attached 240V transformer to your compressor generates excess heat, which will reduce the life of your compressor. Therefore, the fridge will cool down faster and use less power. The cost is also less than a 2 / 3 way fridge as it has a simpler electronics system which means better reliability because of the less complex electronics that could fail. A 12V only fridge is cheaper to install and service as you do not need a qualified electrician every time. If you are looking for a qualified auto electrician who can fit fridges including a 12V power system that is right for you, check out Klarmann Automotive Solutions. 

How well are Bushman fridges rated?

Product Review choose the Bushman DC-X series winner of the best 12V caravan fridge for 2020. Being an extremely popular choice for caravan, boats, tiny houses, 4x4 canopies and off grid living. 

How to choose between a gas fridge and a 12V fridge?

LPG gas is efficient and cools a fridge down very quickly. 240V is not quite as efficient but can be run on external power saving battery power. 12V operation in 3-way fridges, combining all 3, is often considered as a holding mode only. A stable level surface is required to operate an absorption fridge.

A 12V DC compressor fridge uses a dedicated 12V/24V compressor which is designed to operate in a moving vehicle. As well a compressor fridge does perform well in very hot and / or humid conditions. As compressor fridges get powered from batteries only, a reliable and strong power system is recommendable.

Gas fridges can be dangerous as well when not maintenanced regularly and correctly. Read more about camper's death due to a gas leak inside a camper.
