Portable Fridges & Freezers

Find portable fridges and freezers for NZ camping, caravanning, and 4WD adventures at Tech Supply Shed. Brass Monkey's range of 12V compressor fridge freezers keeps food and drinks cold wherever you go - from weekend camping trips to extended off-road travel.

Single Zone Portable Fridge Freezers

Compact 12V Compressor Fridges

Single zone portable fridge freezers use a compressor to maintain consistent temperatures regardless of ambient heat - far more effective than passive coolers for keeping food safe over multiple days. Available in sizes from 9L to 95L to suit different trip lengths and group sizes.

12V and 240V Compatibility

Most Brass Monkey portable fridges run on both 12V (vehicle or battery) and 240V (mains power) - giving you flexibility to use the same fridge at camp and at home or in a holiday accommodation.

Dual Zone Portable Fridge Freezers

Fridge and Freezer in One

Dual zone portable fridge freezers have two independently controlled compartments - one set to fridge temperature and one to freezer temperature simultaneously. Ideal for longer trips where you need both fresh food storage and frozen goods without carrying two separate units.

Metal and Standard Models

Brass Monkey dual zone models are available in standard and metal-body variants - the metal body offering greater durability and impact resistance for rough terrain and heavy-use applications.

How to Choose Portable Fridges & Freezers

Capacity

As a guide: 15-25L suits 1-2 people for a weekend; 35-50L suits a family for a long weekend; 60L+ suits extended trips or larger groups. Factor in the space available in your vehicle when choosing - measure your boot or tray before buying.

Single Zone vs Dual Zone

Single zone fridges are simpler and more affordable - set to either fridge or freezer temperature. Dual zone models cost more but eliminate the need for a separate freezer, making them more practical for longer trips where frozen food is important.

Power Consumption

Check the average power draw (amps per hour) when comparing models - lower consumption extends the time you can run the fridge from a battery without the engine running. A dual battery setup or portable power station is recommended for overnight use.
