Product Review: Bushman DC50-X 12V Caravan Fridge – Compact, Tough & Super Efficient

The Bushman DC50-X is a compact 12V fridge that truly punches above its weight. Designed with efficiency, durability, and versatility in mind, this 50L upright fridge is ideal for caravans, RVs, boats, tiny homes, and even off-grid setups.

One of the standout features is the genuine Secop® Danfoss compressor, known for its reliability and low power draw — which is critical when you're running off-grid or on limited battery power. The fridge is also tropical 'T' rated, meaning it performs reliably even in the harsh Aussie heat.

Despite its size, it includes a 4L internal freezer, crisper tub, and a reversible door, making it practical and user-friendly for tight spaces. It’s designed for built-in installation and includes a free flush-mount kit, making integration into cabinetry simple and clean.

The inclusion of an Anderson plug adds to the ease of setup for caravan or 12V systems, and the 5-year compressor warranty gives peace of mind that this little fridge is built to last.

In short, the Bushman DC50-X is one of the best small 12V fridges on the market — quiet, efficient, and tough enough for Australian conditions. Whether you're fitting out a van or need a reliable fridge for your off-grid project, this is a brilliant choice.
