US buying guide · Van & RV fridges
Choose storage that fits the kitchen and the trip
Compare compartment capacity, case dimensions, rated running watts and explicitly labelled energy estimates.

Choose the food storage you actually need
Compare fridge and freezer allocation, not just total litres. Shopping frequency, frozen-food needs and the usable compartment shape can matter more than a larger headline capacity. A portable case and a built-in cabinet also create different access requirements.
Check dimensions against the installation drawing
Supplier dimension order varies, so the tables preserve its labels. Confirm the cut-out, door or lid clearance, ventilation and loaded restraint requirements from the current exact-model instructions. Missing dimensions need confirmation before furniture is made.
Treat energy estimates as assumptions
Rated watts describe an operating load. Daily energy changes with temperatures, settings, ventilation and compressor duty. The stored planning estimates are labelled and do not constitute measured runtime tests. Start-up power is left unknown where it has not been published.
Compare the exact models
BODEGA CR65 vs CR85X: capacity, freezer space and cabinet fit
The CR85X has more total listed capacity, but the stored compartment figures give the CR65 more freezer volume. Compare the split you actually need as well as the cabinet dimensions. The CR85X listing here states 83L; do not infer capacity from the model number or URL.
Read the buying decision →BODEGA R50 vs CR65: 45L or 65L for your van kitchen?
Choose using the food storage you need and the cabinet you can actually provide. These listings have the same stored rated running watts, so capacity alone does not establish which will use less energy on your trip. Compare the exact opening, ventilation and internal layout.
Read the buying decision →BODEGA CR65 vs DR80: does a larger freezer suit your trip?
The DR80’s documented double-door layout and larger freezer compartment create a different storage choice from the CR65. Compare freezer requirements and installation space first. The DR80 source has a model/selector capacity discrepancy, so confirm the exact configuration with the supplier.
Read the buying decision →BODEGA TWW75 vs TWW95: 75L or 95L portable storage?
The main documented difference in this comparison is capacity: 75L versus 95L. Both profiles carry the same stored rated running load, so the larger litre figure does not by itself establish a runtime penalty. Confirm the current case dimensions, loaded weight and usable zone layout before choosing.
Read the buying decision →BODEGA T36 vs T60: choose portable-fridge capacity around the trip
The T36 and T60 listings describe different storage capacities while their stored running-power profiles are alike. Start with the food volume, location in the van and resupply interval. Confirm current external dimensions and zone details with the supplier where those fields are missing here.
