  • Genuine Bushman heavy-duty drawer fridge freezer

  • Automatic 12V and 24V DC operation
  • Three-year fridge and seven-year compressor warranty
  • Expert support available before and after purchase

The Bushman DF30-HD is a heavy-duty 30L 12V/24V drawer fridge freezer built for drivers and travellers who need genuine frozen storage in a compact drawer format. Unlike a typical drinks drawer, it can maintain -18°C in ambient temperatures up to 45°C, making it suited to frozen food and ice cream on remote trips as well as everyday refrigeration.

Its 25L usable drawer tub holds up to 28 standard 375ml cans upright, while stainless steel drawer runners, a steel slam latch and the Secop BDN50K compressor support long-term installation in 4WD canopies, touring vehicles, caravans and camper trailers. The thermostat can be set from -18°C to +6°C, so the same unit can operate as a deep freezer or conventional fridge.

The DF30-HD uses the same 440mm-wide, 310mm-high footprint as the DF40-HD and can be flush fitted into suitable cabinetry. Correct ventilation and direct-to-battery wiring are essential: allow a 40mm rear gap, provide two vents with 300cm² free area each, and have the installation completed by a suitably trained professional.

Can the Bushman DF30-HD operate as both a fridge and a deep freezer?

Yes. The adjustable temperature range runs from -18°C to +6°C. Set it around +4°C for refrigeration or down to -18°C when genuine frozen storage is required.

How much usable storage does the Bushman DF30-HD provide?

The DF30-HD is a 30L-class model with a 25L usable drawer tub. Its internal tub measures 490 × 300 × 170mm and can hold up to 28 standard 375ml cans upright.

How should the Bushman DF30-HD be installed?

It can be mounted using the supplied heavy-duty L brackets, internal mounting sleeves or external M6 threaded inserts. The recommended cavity is 445mm wide, 880mm deep and 315mm high, including at least 40mm clearance behind the fridge. Installation should be completed by a suitably trained professional.

What battery and power connection does the DF30-HD require?

The DF30-HD automatically operates from a regulated 12V or 24V DC supply and includes a 1.5m Anderson power lead. It should be wired directly to the battery terminals using correctly sized cable and protected by a 15A fuse. Battery capacity should be calculated around the intended temperature, ambient conditions and available charging input.

What warranty applies to the Bushman DF30-HD?

Bushman provides a three-year warranty on the fridge and a seven-year warranty on the compressor, subject to the manufacturer’s warranty terms and correct installation and use.
