12V Portable Refrigerator

A 12V compressor fridge is designed to keep food and beverages cold in cars, trucks, RVs, boats, or anywhere you would use a regular cooler. Our portable fridges are both durable and efficient. They can be powered by 12V, 24V, solar, or 110-250V AC power - perfect for life off-grid or camping. 

A portable fridge, like the BougeRV 12V fridge, keeps cool using a built-in compressor system similar to a home refrigerator. It draws power from a 12V DC source—such as a car battery, solar panel, or portable power station—to circulate refrigerant and remove heat from the interior. This creates a consistently cool environment inside the fridge, allowing it to keep food and drinks cold or even frozen, no matter where your adventures take you.

A 12V refrigerator is a compact, energy-efficient solution ideal for travel, camping, or off-grid living, running on DC power from a car or battery. While it offers less capacity than a home refrigerator, it provides similar cooling performance in a portable design. If you need reliable refrigeration on the go, a 12V car fridge is definitely worth considering.
