RATED TO 43°C AMBIENT

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

35L TO 52L, FOUR CONFIGURATIONS

Configure as 35L, 42L, 45L or 52L by swapping the lid and adding the extension collar — fridge and freezer at once when extended.

0.67 AH PER HOUR AT 52L

Secop Danfoss 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, 240V IN THE BOX

Lid opens from either side to suit your layout. 240V mains transformer supplied for shore power use.

The Original Bushman SC35-52 is the extendable version of Bushman's 25-year-old chest fridge freezer. Same footprint as the SC35 at 690mm long by 385mm wide, but supplied with the extension kit so you can run it in four different heights: 380mm as a 35L, 465mm as a 45L, 475mm as a 42L, or 545mm as a 52L. Swap the lid and add or remove the extension collar to change capacity.

It runs a genuine Nidec Danfoss BD35 variable-speed compressor drawing between 2A and 4.5A. Power consumption averages around 0.67 Ah/hr at 4°C fridge set in a 25°C ambient in the 52L configuration. Set temperature range is -18°C to +10°C, so it runs as a fridge, a freezer, or a combination depending on how you set it up.

Cabinet is marine-grade electroplated metal with 4 heavy duty tie-down brackets included, an HD Anderson lead and a cigarette plug adapter. A 240V to 12V mains transformer is supplied so the fridge can run off mains power as well as 12V or 24V DC.

If you never need more than 35 litres, the fixed-capacity SC35 is the cheaper starting point. This model is worth the difference if you want flexibility. Use the 35L for cans and drinks on a short trip, extend to 52L for a big shop before a two-week trip out west.

  • Extendable capacity: configure as 35L, 42L, 45L or 52L by swapping the lid and adding the extension collar

Q: Can I use it as a freezer?
A: Yes, but only in the 35L, 42L and 45L configurations. The 52L configuration is fridge only.

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: How much power does it use?
A: In the 52L configuration, approximately 0.67 Ah every hour, measured with the fridge set at 4°C and 25°C ambient.

Q: What are the battery protection settings?
A: Cut-in 10.9V, cut-out 9.6V. Set low so the fridge does not turn off unnecessarily.

Q: Does the transit cover fit different configurations?
A: Yes. The included transit cover fits all four configurations — 35L, 42L, 45L and 52L.

Q: How do I strap it down?
A: Four heavy duty tie-down brackets, two on each side, let you strap the fridge down anywhere.

Q: Can I use it as a fridge and freezer at the same time?
A: Yes. Use the bottom section as a freezer, the middle section as a fridge, and the top section as a crisper for fruit and veggies — all at the same time.

Q: Is there a matching fridge slide?
A: Yes. The Original Bushman 35L–52L has a matching fridge slide available for purchase.

Q: What size are the different baskets?
A: Large basket: 375mm long by 275mm wide by 245mm high. Medium: 270mm by 270mm by 170mm. Small: 270mm by 270mm by 100mm.

Q: Can I run it from 240V power?
A: Yes, in any configuration. Use the supplied 240V to 12V transformer, included with every fridge.
