Guidelines on Buying a Camping Fridge

A camping fridge is a great investment for anyone who is fond of adventuring and spending a lot of time outdoors. In fact, many avid campers and hikers see it as an essential accessory to bring along, especially during warm weather trips. However, camping fridges can be a big investment that can be one of the most high-cost item in your camping kit. This said, price shouldn’t be the only criteria you should consider when deciding to buy your own portable camping fridge. While you don’t necessarily have to go finding the most expensive unit you can find in the market, going dirt cheap is also not always a wise strategy. Your decision should be based on your own personal requirements as well as the features that come with the fridge unit you are considering. Below are some helpful insights to see you through your purchase decision:

• A bigger capacity fridge is a good idea for larger parties and families. If it’s just you and a friend or you and your spouse going on a weekend getaway, a smaller 40 to 50-liter fridge would probably be enough to hold your perishables. The great thing about having a portable fridge during camping adventures is that it gives you the ability to store and bring along fresh food instead of simply relying on canned goods to survive n adventure away. This said, portable fridges do add weight to your cargo, so consider this when deciding on the fridge size to get.

• Big brand names have the advantage of good reputation and more readily available parts, in case of repair and maintenance requirements. While buying branded equipment usually means more money, the amount you will spend will totally be worth it as you are getting the best quality, along with more beneficial warranty terms

• Choose a portable camping fridge with excellent insulation. Good insulation means better power conservation. Camping fridge units that are equipped with substantial insulation use less power. Plastic, for instance, conducts less heat than metal, although white fiberglass is often the best option when it comes to camping fridge insulation, it performs very well in high temperatures.

• Find a camping fridge that can withstand rugged terrains and conditions. Adventuring outdoors usually means rough roads, terrains, and erratic weather conditions. When shopping for a camping fridge, along with any other camping equipment, choose the ones that are built for rugged conditions so as to minimize possibility of damage and maximize its life cycle.
