FAQs

Can it run on both 12V and 24V power systems?

Yes. The Bushman upright fridge 130L operates on either 12V or 24V DC, making it straightforward to integrate into caravan, RV and off-grid electrical systems. It uses a Secop Danfoss BD35 variable-speed compressor, so current draw adapts to load. Operation is DC-only, so if you need to run it from mains, use a suitable AC-DC power supply. For best results, follow the specified cut-out, ventilation clearances and size wiring to minimise voltage drop on longer runs.

How energy-efficient is the fridge freezer?

The Bushman DC130-X 12-Volt/24-Volt Upright Fridge & Freezer is objectively light on power. Average consumption is listed at about 1.4 A per hour over 24 hours with a 25°C ambient and the fridge set to 4°C. The BD35 variable-speed compressor typically operates between ~2–4.5 A, modulating to maintain temperature without unnecessary cycling.

A dedicated condenser fan and efficient cabinet help keep the draw predictable, while the tropical “T” rating indicates it’s built to cope with hotter conditions when installed with correct ventilation. Your real-world usage will vary with ambient heat, loading, door openings and ventilation.

Is it suitable for caravans, RVs and off-grid use?

Yes. The DC-X series is positioned for mobile and off-grid applications, including caravans, campervans, canopies, RVs, boats and off-grid living. The Bushman 130L fridge’s dimensions (H 755 mm × W 530 mm × D 550 mm), included mounting kit and reversible door simplify fit-outs. Follow the published cut-out and allow rear airflow for dependable performance on the road or at camp. Remember to pair with adequate battery capacity and charging (vehicle DC-DC or solar) for multi-day autonomy.

What warranty and after-sales support are available in Australia?

The Bushman upright fridge 130L for sale has a full 3-year warranty, and the manufacturer offers a 5-year compressor warranty. For support, contact Home of 12 Volt first; we provide guidance, troubleshooting and service coordination. Remember to keep your proof of purchase and install in line with the manual, as misuse could void the warranty.
