Made for your setup

The 45L freezer (about 440 x 300 x 330mm inside) runs at around -15 °C.


Proven reliable
Heavy duty compressor, 7 year warranty
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.

Frequently asked questions
Will it replace my Dometic fridge?
Bushman says it is a direct swap for the Dometic RPD218 12V fridge. For a Dometic RM4805 gas fridge you have the width and depth, but may need about 35mm more height.
Will it fit through my caravan door?
With the doors removed it is only 525mm deep.
How big is the freezer?
The 45L freezer is about 440mm wide, 300mm deep and 330mm tall inside.
What battery and solar does it need?
Bushman recommends a 240Ah AGM or 140Ah lithium battery with about 400W of solar. That runs it for at least three days and nights.
Can the doors open from either side?
Yes. The hinges and latch can be moved from the right side to the left.
