Choosing a Bushman upright fridge for your setup
The right Bushman upright fridge starts with the space you have available. A larger capacity gives you more room for food and drinks, but it also needs to work with your canopy, cabinetry or caravan layout. Measure the installation area before choosing a model, and allow room to open the door and reach the shelves comfortably.
Use the comparison above to narrow down the capacity you need. Then open the individual product page to check the specifications and availability of that model.
Bushman upright fridges for 4WD canopies
An upright layout lets you reach food and drinks through a front-opening door. When planning a canopy installation, check the fridge’s height, width and depth alongside your drawers, storage and other equipment. Consider which way the door needs to open and whether nearby items could obstruct it.
The 85L and 130L models give you two capacities to compare for your canopy layout. Choose according to your actual space and storage needs. Check the model’s installation instructions before ordering a mounting box or building cabinetry.
Choosing an upright fridge for a caravan or campervan
For a caravan or campervan, consider how many people you travel with, how long you spend between grocery stops and the space available in your kitchen. If you are replacing an existing fridge, measure the cavity separately from the old fridge itself.
Check the new model’s required cavity dimensions and ventilation arrangements. External fridge dimensions alone do not tell you how much installation space is needed. Follow the manual for the particular fridge you are buying, especially when replacing a different type of fridge.
Plan your 12V or 24V fridge power supply
The models in this collection operate on 12V or 24V DC. Plan the fridge together with your battery capacity, charging equipment and other electrical loads. Fridge energy use varies with ambient temperature, temperature settings, ventilation and how often the door is opened.
Use our fridge run-time calculator with power-use information for your chosen model to estimate your needs. Actual run time will depend on your installation and conditions, so also plan how you will recharge your battery.
These DC fridges must not be connected directly to 240V mains power. Check your chosen model’s requirements for a compatible AC-to-DC power supply if mains operation is needed.
Check your mounting equipment before ordering
Choose mounting equipment that matches the specific Bushman model. Check the fridge’s supplied inclusions before ordering additional parts, and follow the manufacturer’s fixing and ventilation instructions.
Browse fridge mounting equipment alongside your chosen fridge. If you are unsure which products work together, contact Battery Force with your model and installation dimensions before buying.
