Important note

EvaKool rates the power figures at 32°C ambient over a 24-hour period. Actual draw varies with ambient temperature, door-opening frequency and load. Allow rear and side clearance for the SECOP compressor to breathe — fully enclosed installations reduce cooling efficiency and shorten compressor life.

Australian Made

Designed and built in Australia for Australian touring conditions

An Australian-made 40L single-drawer 12V fridge freezer that slides out on its own runners — full access to the contents without lifting a lid, and no separate fridge slide required. Suits 4WD canopies, drawer systems, camper trailers and caravans with the rear and side clearance needed for compressor ventilation.

EvaKool designs and builds it on the Sunshine Coast, and backs it with a 5-year manufacturer warranty on units built from November 2023 (2 years on earlier units). Genuine SECOP PBC 2.5 compressor, fully insulated metal cabinet, 12V/24V DC auto-selecting.

What sets it apart

  • Drawer format, no fridge slide required — slides on its own runners and locks down with the supplied heavy-duty floor plate bracket. No drilling or extra tie-downs.
  • −18°C to +10°C — runs as a fridge, a freezer or a true deep freezer, set from the LED display on the front.
  • 1.2 A/hr at 2°C, 32°C ambient — 24-hour average measured by EvaKool. 2.4 A/hr set to −16°C. Suits a 100Ah lithium as a house-battery baseline.
  • 40L drawer, up to 48 cans — removable drawer tub for cleaning, clear acrylic lids for visibility, interior LED lighting.
  • 12V or 24V DC auto-selecting — 12V Anderson plug fitted to the rear of the unit.

⚠ Check before ordering: the 836 × 595 × 326mm external dimensions need to fit your drawer or canopy space, with rear and side clearance for compressor ventilation. The locking mechanism holds the fridge down without drilling.

These are the auxiliary batteries we pair with this fridge — sold separately.

Everything this install needs

1 × Heavy-duty floor plate bracket with locking mechanismIn the box
Auxiliary battery to run itsized to your setup. Sold separately:

Placing the fridge

  • Sits directly on a flat surface — no fridge slide required.
  • Allow rear and side clearance for compressor ventilation.
  • Ensure the drawer has full travel to open.

Mounting

  • Secure the fridge with the supplied heavy-duty floor plate bracket.
  • The bracket's locking mechanism holds the fridge without drilling or additional tie-downs.
  • Bolt the floor plate to a rated mounting surface — drawer, canopy floor or camper base.

Power

  • Connect via the 12V Anderson plug fitted to the rear.
  • The unit auto-selects between 12V and 24V DC.
  • The included 240V AC adapter runs the fridge from mains.
  • Wire from a house battery via a fuse sized to the fridge's peak draw.

Full fitting steps are in the User Manual and Installation Guide, downloadable from this page.

Do not

run the fridge from a starter battery without a low-voltage cutoff, or install in a fully enclosed compartment without ventilation — the compressor will overheat.

Comparing against

The two drawer fridges in our range a customer most often weighs the EvaKool against. Different sizes and price points — a smaller one might actually suit your setup better.

Q: Can it run as a freezer as well as a fridge?
Yes. The range is −18°C to +10°C, so it can be set as a fridge or run as a true deep freezer.

Q: Do I need a fridge slide?
No. The drawer pulls out on its own runners and a heavy-duty floor plate bracket is included, so no separate slide is needed.

Q: How many cans does it hold?
Up to 48 cans in the 40L drawer.

Q: How much power does it draw?
At 32°C ambient it averages 1.2 A/hr set to 2°C, and 2.4 A/hr set to −16°C, measured over 24 hours.

Q: Can I run it from 240V mains?
Yes. The fridge is designed to run from a 240V AC adapter as well as 12V/24V DC via the Anderson plug at the rear. Get in touch if you need the mains adapter with your order.

Q: Does installation require drilling?
No. The floor plate bracket's locking mechanism secures the fridge without drilling or extra tie-downs.
