40L Platinum Drawer Fridge Freezer — 12V/24V

EvaKool

SECOP Compressor

Globally recognised SECOP PBC 2.5 compressor delivers reliable cooling in extreme heat

Fridge or Freezer

Full -18°C to +10°C range runs it as a fridge or a true deep freezer

No Slide Required

Heavy-duty floor plate bracket secures the unit without drilling or extra tie-downs

Low Power Draw

Just 1.2 A/hr at 2°C in 32°C ambient — easy on your battery bank

Australian Made

Designed and built in Australia for Australian touring conditions

A 40L drawer fridge freezer that slides out on its own runners, so there's no need for a separate fridge slide. Puts food, drinks or ice behind an acrylic lid you can see through, with a locking floor plate bracket that holds everything down without drilling. Fits 4WD canopies, drawer systems, camper trailers and caravans with 836 × 595 × 326mm of space plus clearance for the compressor to breathe.

EvaKool build it on the Sunshine Coast with a SECOP PBC 2.5 compressor, an insulated metal cabinet, LED interior lighting and a front-panel display for temperature control. Runs from 12V or 24V DC auto-sensing through the Anderson plug fitted to the rear, or from 240V AC with the mains adapter.

Temperature range runs from -18°C right up to +10°C, so the same drawer runs as a fridge, a freezer or a true deep freezer depending on how you set it. Peak draw is around 2.4 A/hr set to -16°C and averages 1.2 A/hr set to 2°C at 32°C ambient over 24 hours. Pair it with a 100Ah lithium house battery as a starting point.

Everything this install needs

2 of 3 in the box
1 × EvaKool 40L Platinum Drawer Fridge FreezerIn the box
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

Two drawer fridges in our range worth weighing the EvaKool against. Different sizes and price points, so 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.
