User Tips:
- This fridge is designed to run from a 12V DC power source such as your Caravan/Camping battery bank. Running the fridge from a 12V power source will help with the longevity and performance of this fridge. Bushman recommends that when 240V power is available, use a smart battery charger to charge your battery bank and keep your fridge running direct from the batteries. You can see a suitable range of AC to DC smart battery chargers HERE if needed.
- A small number of customers may want to use this fridge in an 'offgrid living' setup and run the fridge from 240V AC power all of the time - in which case you will need a Power Adaptor to convert AC Power to DC in order to run the fridge. You can see this optional Bushman Adaptor HERE.

I'm looking at the Bushman Fridges, are they manufactured in Australia?
Great question, all the Bushman fridges are manufactured overseas, however, Bushman is an Australian owned and operated business.

Does A Caravan Fridge Need 240V?
Hi John,
Thanks for your question.
Essentially no you do not always need a caravan fridge with 240V. In fact, some brands, such as Bushman, recommend a 12V fridge only. This is because of the follow reasons:
- The fridge will last longer - caravan fridges with 240V built in have a 240 transformer attached to the compressor. This transformer generates excess heat, which in turn reduces the life of the compressor.
- The fridge will cool down faster - by removing the 240V transformer from the compressor, the cooling system will produce less heat. This therefore makes it easier and faster for the fridge to cool down.
- A 12V fridge costs less - a 12V and 240V fridge requires a qualified electrician to install and service the fridge. Whereas a 12V only fridge is generally cheaper to buy, install and service.
However, having a 240V fridge allows you to connect to AC mains power when available and run 12/24 Volt DC appliances. Usually a customer who intends to use their Bushman fridge in an 'off-grid' living set up will want to run the fridge from a 240V power source the whole time and therefore use an adaptor.The better option for Caravan/Camping use is to run their 12V Fridge from their batteries. Bushman recommends that when 240V power is available, use a smart battery charger to charge your battery bank and keep your fridge running direct from the batteries. You can see a suitable range of AC to DC smart battery chargers HERE if needed.Thanks. -

Customer Reviews
great build quality Review by Ben Wessling-SmithEarly days but this fridge has great build quality. the door was easy to reverse and I installed it in a fairly simple self built ply cabinet with appropriate ventilation into my canopy. So far the fridge seems to use no more power than my 50l Waeco which it replaces. The light is handy and the doors are set up to keep cans and bottles firmly in place.(Posted on 19 August 2021)
Bushman beats the rest for quality and value ! Review by Anthony MadisonI made the gross error of purchasing a much cheaper import same size fridge for my campervan, only to regret it and return it..... I will not mention names. The construction was inferior and it did not even have an inside light ! It had a start up current draw of 7Amps which played hell with my solar set up! I gave up with it same day and sent it back for credit. I figured I should be able to trust an Aussie manufacturer's product so took the plunge and ordered my Bushman DC65X. It fitted like a glove into the cavity where my old Waeco sat and I only had to add a couple of metal strips to the frame to hold it in place. Turned it on.....and BINGO! Perfect start up and running smoothly. Freezer box was soon icy cold. Oh.....and yes....the inside light being there meant I could actually see what was in the fridge at night. It looks great in my Hiace Campervan. Now I can relax in the knowledge that I have a reliable product that enhances my OFF THE GRID solar set up perfectly !(Posted on 4 February 2021)
Great product! Review by Josh reavesQuality of this product is off the chart compared to the likes of the dometic crx range. Well thought out design.(Posted on 24 December 2020)
