Absorption fridges work by heating the refrigerant in the coolant circuit and then letting it condense to work the cooling cycle.
So if the fridge is running on mains the refrigerant side is working. It will probably be working on 12v too, though the power limitations on 12v generally means it...
I've always been happy to just use the built in stop (grey thing at the top centre of the door). The fridge has never been smelly (if, indeed, that's what you're worried about) and I've never noticed any rattles coming from it - I did used to close the door on a small piece of white foam when...
They're solidly built (the Renogy basic folding) - which is handy for not blowing over if you want a ground array - and they're just small "normal" rigid panels with a hinge between them so you could mount them on a wall or shed. They're very good bang for buck if you want a general tinker solar...
Will look good when its boxed in. I'd be interested as to how far behind the seat base it it. I had one fitted and the people who did it said it couldnt go any further forward, but yours certainly looks nearer the seat base than mine. :mad:
...drivers seat does slope back and the seat also slides forward/backward, so at bench height quite a bit of lenghth is lost compared with at floor level.
For self containment in NZ we have a requirement for a Toilet, but you could put a smallfridge there instead. It would be challenging in...
I’m not familiar with that fridge but I know some manufacturers state the efficiency of their product as a temperature reduction from the ambient temperature. My vans Dometic is quoted as capable of reducing the temperature by 25 degrees c so if the ambient temperature is 15 degrees could get...
Hi Sack,
There is a pull out board under the side cushions that allows the use of the side seat bolster to make up the double bed - that's our configuration.
We also have a floor level double socket between the fridge and the large drawer. An extension cable runs behind the seats and the...
I did some real world.testing of the battery option on my P18 over here as well

The built in battery is approximately 15.6Ah and I reckon I get 24-30 hour runtime so long as it's pre chilled...
There is some other content on the Forum which covers this topic, the fridge manual also explains how it should be ventilated by convection.
Air enters under the fridge as it’s on feet.
Warmer air exhausts above the fridge, the most efficient method is to leave a small gap between the furniture...
Afternoon folks 👋
Swmbo and I are trying to plan 3 or 4 days away, but most of the available campsites have no EHU. My van has no leisure battery currently. We only have the vans 12v electrics and a small Bluetti AC50B power station. We also have a 35L 12/240v fridge and at a guess the...
Hi all, I’ve finally purchased an EcoFlow Delta 2 battery for my van. I’ve got a Halfords Compressor Fridge 32l. I’ve done a quick test and it runs the fridge for approx 48hours.
I was hoping to get slightly more and use it for other things such as a small electric grill. Obviously a mistake...
Yes Steve totally independent temperatures and any configuration of fridge freezer, large fridgesmall freezer or smallfridge large freezer or both as fridges or both as freezers, we are really really pleased with our Alpicool TWW35.
We also bought it from these guys...
@Freshtrax just to add to this for you.
We have lights, fridge, no heater, a 12v Cig lighter socket, no permanent USBs & No 240 set up because we have a small bluetti power bank for laptop/phones etc if required - which we recharge off the LB. Solar is a 200w semi flex panel and a renogy 50a...
Just because the battery voltage is good doesn’t guarantee the voltage at the fridge is high enough. If one of both of the following then there will be a large DC voltage drop.
1. Incorrect cable gauge, too small (mm2)
2. Excessive cable length.
Have a Search there are a steady stream of fridge...
Hi, I have a Bluetti AC70 plus a 200W folding solar panel as a back up for when 'off grid', cracking bit of kit not too big not too small. Is there any reason why I should not plug the AC 3 pin output into the vans EHU socket (just as if we were on hook up) to charge the leisure battery. The...
Thanks John - I’ve been looking at that supplier having watched the video you posted before. Is the significance of the TWW35 from these guys @ £450ish vs. the minefield of similar versions/multitude of similar model numbers on Amazon @ £300ish the fact that the TWW includes the battery pack...
...for the 1200 wide mobiframe, I wanted full lenght, no projections to give me full flexibility where I park the bench on the rails, and a smallfridge in the units as opposed to the drawer fridge under the mobiframe seat/bed. As a time served ex Bench Joiner (CITB YTS back in the 90's) I...
