A 12V fridge runs off your vehicle or a power station and holds a set temperature without ice.
A good cooler costs less and needs no power. We carry both, from compact soft coolers to dual zone fridge freezers, so you can pick the right one for how long you stay out.
Sizing: think in days and people. A weekend for two fits a small fridge or a 45 quart cooler. Longer trips or a family usually means a larger or dual zone unit, which lets you freeze on one side and chill on the other. Measure the space in your cargo area or bed before you choose, and leave room for airflow around a fridge.
Power: a compressor fridge draws from your 12V system. For trips where you park for days, pair it with a power station or a second battery. See lighting and power.
Coolers: the Canyon Coolers Pro45 and Pro65 hard coolers and the Nomad 20 soft cooler need no power at all.

Frequently asked questions
Fridge or cooler?
A cooler is simpler and costs less. A 12V fridge holds temperature without ice and frees up the space ice would take, but it needs power.
What size camping fridge do I need?
Plan by trip length and people. Measure your cargo space first. Product pages list each unit's capacity and outside dimensions.
Can I run a fridge off my car battery?
Compressor fridges are built to run on 12V. On longer stops, a power station or second battery keeps your starting battery safe.
Do fridges ship free?
Parcel items are eligible for free ground shipping to the Lower 48 on orders above our free-shipping threshold. Oversize items carry their own shipping charge, shown before you pay.
Run compressor models on vehicle power or solar, or pack ice in Recon and Canyon when you want zero draw. Protective covers, slides, and hardwire kits pair with the CFX sizes we carry.
12V portable fridges and coolers for multi-day camp trips
Cold food decides whether a weekend build stays fun past day two. This collection covers compressor fridges and hard-sided coolers that hold temperature on vehicle power or ice, plus the covers and mounts that make CFX setups trail-ready.
Compressor fridges first. Dometic CFX5 for premium single and dual-zone builds, and CFX2 when you want a lighter spend with the same 12/24V workflow. Pair with solar or a dual battery if you idle less and camp longer.
Then rugged coolers. Dometic Recon 16L, 41L, and 69L plus Canyon Coolers Pro hard-siders when you want ice retention without 12V draw. Soft Nomad coolers sit with day-trip extras.
CFX attach. Protective covers for every CFX5 size we sell, plus slide mounts, tie-down, and hardwire kits so the fridge stays put and wired clean.
Who this is for. Overlanders and car campers who need reliable cold storage. Full camp kitchen cookware lives on Camping Gear.
