12V, gas & portable refrigeration

Fridges, Freezers & Icemakers NZ

Q: Should I choose a 3-way fridge or a compressor fridge?

It depends on your main power source. Choose a 3-way for silent operation and the flexibility to run on LPG for weeks, ideal for baches and long stays. Choose a compressor fridge for home-style cooling and freezing in 30°C+ heat, best for motorhomes and 4WDs with solar charging.

Q: How do I run a freezer without electricity?

An LPG gas freezer is the reliable way to freeze without electricity. Our gas freezers run entirely on bottled gas, making them ideal for hunters, fishers and remote stations without mains power or a big solar array.

Q: Do I need a plumber to install an ice maker?

Not for our portable benchtop models: just fill the reservoir and plug in. Built-in models need a simple 1/4″ water line, but they’re no-drain units, so you don’t need a floor drain or waste pipe.

12V/24V solar compressor fridges, 3-way LPG gas fridges and icemakers for Kiwi baches, tiny homes, boats and motorhomes.

Refrigeration FAQs

Which fridges are best for Kiwi baches, boats and RVs?

NZ temperatures can swing from freezing to 30°C+ in a day. For mobile setups like caravans and boats, 12V/24V compressor fridges are the top choice because they cool quickly and stay efficient in high heat. For a permanent, remote bach with limited sun, an LPG gas (3-way) fridge gives silent, long-term cooling without a large battery bank.

Should I choose a 3-way fridge or a compressor fridge?

It depends on your main power source. Choose a 3-way for silent operation and the flexibility to run on LPG for weeks, ideal for baches and long stays. Choose a compressor fridge for home-style cooling and freezing in 30°C+ heat, best for motorhomes and 4WDs with solar charging.
