Autonomy is one of the main characteristics that we must look for if what we are considering is a vacation in a camper, caravan or motorhome. Carrying our motorhome well equipped is going to be crucial to have a few days of relaxation without any worries other than having a cold drink and a full fridge.
In Comercial Caravaning we know how to have that cold beer for after the hike.
Choose a good refrigerator for our motorhome. Like any decision about our house on wheels, it is something that must be taken calmly, look and compare well and choose the option that best suits us. There are generally three types of refrigerators for motorhomes depending on the autonomy we need, the space of the van and the price we want to pay.
Advantage:
This type of refrigerator is the one that cools the most and the fastest by far, in fact, sometimes they even freeze. They work with electricity at 12V and 230V and the current consumption is discontinuous, since they only come into operation if they detect a rise in temperature.
Disadvantages:
By operating only with electricity, it is convenient to install solar panels, so as not to depend on external places to charge the auxiliary batteries.
They weigh a little more than the rest and need aeration. They are the most expensive. The firm Mobicool has several models of portable refrigerators and freezers of about 40 liters and that are around 400 euros.

Advantage:
These refrigerators are the most autonomous. Its technology is based on the circulation of certain gases that liquefy and absorb heat and produce cold. They work with 12V / 220V electricity and gas, depending on the manufacturer.
By not depending exclusively on electricity, they are much more autonomous and can cool 30 degrees below room temperature. They do not make noise.
Disadvantages:
These refrigerators do not freeze and can generate heat, so it would be necessary to install a ventilation grill for their operation. They take longer to cool. It must be taken into account that they work with the same gas pressure that the installation that we carry allows.
Dometic has a very interesting range. It has very versatile models and they are around 300 euros, but we can find them from about 100 euros.
These refrigerators are the camping of a lifetime. They work at 12V and their current consumption is continuous.
Advantage:
They are very light, inexpensive and are great for day trips of one or two.
They serve both to keep the cold and heat.
Disadvantages:
They don't really cool, they keep the temperature between 20 and 30 degrees of room temperature for hours. The fan motor may make some noise.
The brand Mobicool It is the one that offers the most models of this type of portable fridge and the prices range from 50 euros to 200. The hybrid model of fridge and freezer of 39 liters is one of those that best adapts to the life of the motorhome.
