How do you power a fridge when camping?

For many people, the best way to power a camp fridge is battery power. While a huge range of portable camping fridges and freezers come with AC/DC power connections, they also have 12-volt power adapters (12v), which make it easy to power your fridge via your car or 4WD’s battery.

Is there a 12 volt refrigerator?

A 12 volt RV refrigerator runs primarily on the 12-volt DC power from your rig’s house batteries (or potentially your car or truck’s starter battery). These refrigerators operate solely on electricity, as opposed to absorption or two-way RV refrigerators that can burn propane to power their cooling system.
