Bushman Heavy Duty Series upright
The Bushman DC130-X is Bushman's top seller for caravans, RVs, tiny houses and smaller off-grid setups, now in the 2026 Heavy Duty Series.
It gives you an outstanding amount of space for a fridge that fits under a kitchen bench. A deep, narrow freezer leaves more room to stand up big bottles, and an internal fan keeps the temperature even.
Why this fridge
All the shelves are height adjustable and the large door balconies have built-in stainless steel rails to stop items moving in transit. 2L milk bottles fit in the door. Install it flush to your cabinetwork or with the supplied mounting kit.
The freezer compartment (about 210 x 350 x 90mm) is deep and narrow, leaving more of the cabinet for fridge space.


Proven reliable
Every fridge in this range uses the Secop Danfoss Heavy Duty series compressor, the 12V compressor designed for trucks and off-road use, backed by a 7 year 12V compressor warranty.
