60 litre tropical rated camper fridges

A caravan wrecker would have plenty of 3 way front opening door fridge freezers, my van has one and it's over 20yrs old, & still awesome. Just a different direction to search that might be fruitful & heaps cheaper.

Well folks
We could not find a tropical rated 60 litre fridge. The smallest tropical rated 3 way fridge is too big to fit in our camper. So we have bought a tropical rated 80 litre upright compressor fridge. This means that we will need to upgrade our camper's two 75 ah flooded cell bateries to two 120ah AGM batteries. That will allow a day off mains (4 amp draw for the fridge). After that 400 watts of solar panels will be needed for electrical self sufficiency. As one of our forum posters says "such is life". At least our gas bill will be small!
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Hiya,

400 Watts... Holy Cow!

What else are you running

The 4 amps will be when the fridge is running. Given a duty cycle of 25% to maybe 33% thats less than 40 AH per 24 hours draw down.
You will get heaps more than a day off mains/solar and even 200 watts of Solar will keep the batteries topped up on a standard solar day.

I run two 40 Engels and used to have a CF80 and I have twin 100 AH Full River batteries. I run one battery on alternate trips (keep the other in reserve) on 100 watts of Solar panels and the battery is always as close to full SOC by lunch to mid afternoon as makes no matter.
