RUNS TO 43°C AMBIENT

Holds temperature in ambients up to 43°C, so it keeps working through an Australian summer.

15L CENTRE CONSOLE FOOTPRINT

Purpose-built for a centre-console install — narrow enough to fit most 4WDs, tall enough for 1.25L bottles upright.

0.58 AH PER HOUR

Secop Danfoss BD1.4HD variable speed compressor keeps the average draw low enough for a modest battery bank.

7 YEAR COMPRESSOR WARRANTY

Backed by 7 years on the compressor and 3 years on the fridge, direct from Bushman.

REVERSIBLE LID, CARRY KIT AVAILABLE

Hinge the lid left or right to suit your layout. Runs at up to 30° angle. Tie-down and carry kit sold separately.

The Bushman Roadie 15L is Bushman's centre-console car fridge freezer, sized to fit between the seats of a 4WD or ute and tall enough to stand 1.25 litre soft drink bottles upright inside. 375ml cans fit exactly on their side. 15 litres of internal capacity in a footprint 535mm long by 220mm wide by 380mm high.

It runs a genuine Secop Danfoss BD1.4HD compressor, a variable speed unit drawing between 2A and 4.5A. Power consumption averages 0.58 Ah/hr over 24 hours at 4°C fridge in a 25°C ambient. Set temperature range is -15°C to +10°C, so it runs as a fridge or a small freezer.

Cabinet is powder-coated steel with oversize ventilation on the front and sides, magnetic lid seal and reversible lid hinges so the lid can open either way to suit whichever side of your vehicle it lives in. The compressor is rated to operate at up to a 30 degree angle, so it does not need to sit dead level. There is a 10 amp fuse built into the unit.

Supplied with a 2 metre 12V lead terminated in a cigarette plug for direct connection to a vehicle accessory socket, plus an HD Anderson lead for wiring into a dual battery setup. A tie-down and carry kit is included with 2 metal tie-down saddles, 2 cam buckle straps and a padded shoulder carry strap.

Q: Can I use the Roadie as a freezer?
A: Yes. The Roadie can be used as either a fridge or a freezer, right down to -15°C.

Q: What size battery and solar do I need?
A: It depends on your setup — solar input, state of charge, other loads on the same battery, ambient temperature and how often the fridge is opened. Bushman's starting point is around a 100Ah AGM or 60Ah lithium battery with 200W of solar, but that assumes a fridge-only circuit in average conditions.

Q: Can the lid open from either side?
A: Yes. The hinges on the Roadie 15L can be moved from one side to the other.

Q: Does it work as a centre console?
A: Yes. As every car is different, measure the space between your seats to check the Roadie 15L will fit. Aftermarket companies make centre console kits designed for it.

Q: Does it have battery protection?
A: Yes. Cut-in 10.9V, cut-out 9.6V. Set low so the fridge doesn't turn off unnecessarily until the auxiliary battery is very low.

Q: How many 375ml cans fit inside?
A: 20 x 375ml cans.

Q: Can I stand a wine bottle or soft drink bottle upright inside?
A: Yes. The Roadie is 310mm high on the inside, so wine bottles and 1.25L soft drink bottles stand upright.

Q: Is there a transit cover available?
A: Yes. The Roadie 15L transit cover is available as an accessory.

Q: How do I secure the Roadie in my vehicle?
A: A tie-down and carry kit is available with 2 metal saddles, 2 cam buckle straps and a shoulder carry strap.

Q: Can I run it from 240V mains?
A: Not directly. The Roadie is 12V or 24V DC. To run from 240V, use a 240V to 12V transformer.

Q: Is it a replacement for an Engel MD17 15L?
A: Since Engel discontinued the MD17, many customers have replaced it with the Bushman Roadie 15L. External dimensions are different, so measure your install first.
