Totalcool Fridge: The Ultimate 12V Solution for Off-Grid Cooling

Whether you're exploring remote campsites, travelling full-time in your van, or just heading out for a long weekend, keeping your food and drinks fresh is essential. That’s where the Totalcool fridge comes in, a powerful, portable 12V compressor fridge built for real-life adventures.

What Is the Totalcool Fridge?

The Totalcool fridge is part of the Totalfreeze range, a line of high-performance compressor fridges and freezers. Unlike basic coolboxes, these fridges can maintain precise temperatures even in extreme heat and are built for efficient off-grid use.

Why It Stands Out

Dual fridge/freezer functionality: Cools to -20°C, great for frozen food or cold drinks
Ultra-low power draw: Uses only 30 to 50 watts, ideal for leisure batteries and solar power
Multi-voltage operation: Runs on 12V, 24V, or 240V mains for flexibility on the go or at home
Digital control panel: Set and monitor temps easily from the built-in display
Rugged and reliable: Built for travel with strong handles and a durable outer shell

Who Is It For?

If you live on the road, love wild camping, or need backup cold storage for work, the Totalcool fridge is designed for you. It’s a favourite among:

Campervan and RV owners
Off-grid explorers and overlanders
Tradespeople needing cold storage on-site
Boaters and anglers

Performance in the Real World

“I took the Totalfreeze 45L on a week-long trip with solar and didn’t worry once about power. Ice cream stayed frozen!”

“It cools quickly, holds temperature, and barely sips power from the battery. Way better than the old fridge I used to run.”

Totalcool Fridge Sizes and Setup Options

The Totalcool fridge range is designed to fit a variety of travel needs, whether you’re heading out for the weekend or living full-time on the road. The Totalfreeze line includes 35L, 45L, and 55L options, letting you choose just the right amount of storage without wasting space or power. For heavier-duty setups, the TF-Xtreme range comes in 40L and 50L capacities. These are ideal for more demanding conditions and longer trips.

If you're looking for a more permanent install in your camper, van, or trailer, the TF-Xtreme units are designed to work perfectly with the TF-Slide — a heavy-duty sliding mount that makes it easy to access your fridge, even when space is tight. Simply slide out, load or unload, and slide back in. It's a game-changer for organised, efficient setups.

Power Setup Tips

Pair with a 100Ah or larger leisure battery for all-day performance
Add a solar panel for extended off-grid use
Use low voltage cut-off mode to protect your battery

FAQ

What makes the Totalcool fridge better than a thermoelectric coolbox?

The Totalcool fridge uses compressor technology, which allows it to reach and maintain true fridge or freezer temperatures regardless of outside weather. Thermoelectric coolboxes depend on ambient temperature and can't match this performance.

Can I use the Totalcool fridge off-grid?

Yes. The Totalcool fridge is designed for off-grid use, with low power draw and compatibility with solar panels and leisure batteries.

Which size Totalcool fridge is right for me?

The 35L is great for solo trips or weekends. The 45L and 55L offer more space for longer trips. The TF-Xtreme 40L and 50L are perfect for off-grid setups and work well with the TF-Slide for easier access.

Does the Totalcool fridge need ventilation?

Yes, like all compressor fridges, it needs airflow around the vents. Make sure there’s at least a few centimetres of space around the unit for best performance.
