There are very few pieces of equipment handier at the campground than a 3 way camping fridge. These nifty appliances give campers access to ice cold food and drinks wherever they go. So, just how is this possible?
The key to the usefulness of a 3 way fridge is its ability to operate off of three distinct power sources. Mains power, 12v DC and LPG.
When camping at a ‘refined’ camp ground, which has mains power available for the guests to draw from, a 3 way fridge can be powered from a regular electrical outlet. Just as with your fridge at home, you then don’t have to worry about your power at all. You will not ‘run out’ of mains power. This makes shore power the preferred power source where available.
For powering a 3 way camping fridge inside a vehicle, the power source of choice is 12v DC. Using your car battery you can improvise yourself a car fridge great for supplying cool drinks while on the road. 12v DC is less useful once the car is stopped however; as it will rapidly draw down your vehicles battery once the engine is no longer running.
Finally, and most useful of all, a three way camping fridge can run off Liquefied Petroleum Gas. When your camping ground is remote, you probably won’t have mains power available, this is when propane – or sometimes butane – comes into its own. You may be off the grid, but the refrigerator still runs.
Between Mains, 12v DC and LPG, you have a wide range of available power options. No matter where you go you should be able to arrange a workable setup that will allow your fridge to function, and thus ensure your supply of chilled refreshments! Without a doubt, a three camping fridge is a worthy addition to any families camp gear.
