BougeRV CRPRO20 21 Quart 12V Portable Car Fridge Freezer Black

The BougeRV CRPRO20 21 Quart 12V Portable Car Fridge Freezer Black Brings Fridge and Freezer Space to Your Truck Cab on 12V or 24V

The BougeRV CRPRO20 21 Quart 12V Portable Car Fridge Freezer Black is the charcoal and gray version of BougeRV's compact CRPRO20. Its compressor holds any setting from -8°F to 50°F in a 21 quart (20 liter) cabinet, and it accepts 12V or 24V DC as well as 110-240V AC through the included adapter.

BougeRV describes this listing as a truck fridge, and its 24V input and 11.9 in height suit a truck cab. BougeRV also lists RVs and boats, and it fits the back of an SUV when you want fresh food and cold drinks without buying ice.

BougeRV CRPRO20 21 Quart 12V Portable Car Fridge Freezer Black Features

Runs on 12V or 24V DC and 110-240V AC

Plug the DC cord into a car, truck or power station, or use the AC adapter at a home outlet or a power station's AC outlet. You get a 10.82 ft DC cord, a short 1.64 ft DC cord and a 6.56 ft AC adapter in the box.

About 360Wh Per Day in ECO Mode

BougeRV rates ECO mode at 36W and MAX mode at 45W. It puts daily use at about 360Wh in ECO mode and 450Wh in MAX mode, which helps when you're sizing a battery or power station.

Battery Monitor With Three Settings

The monitor turns the fridge off when supply voltage drops to your chosen level, then restarts it two minutes after the voltage recovers to the cut-in point. On a 12V system, High cuts out at 11.3V and Medium at 10.1V. On a 24V truck system, High, Medium and Low cut out at 24.6V, 22.3V and 21.3V.

Freezes Down to -8°F

Set it as a fridge or a freezer anywhere from -8°F to 50°F. In MAX mode with an empty cabinet, BougeRV rates the pull-down at 15 minutes from 77°F to 32°F and 50 minutes from 77°F to -4°F.

Tie-Down Point and End Storage Compartment

A safety tie-down point lets you secure the fridge so it stays put while you drive. A lidded storage compartment at the control end keeps small items separate from the cold cabinet.

Display With a Compressor Indicator

The panel shows the cabinet temperature, the supply voltage, the battery protection level and MAX or ECO mode. A compressor icon lights up while the compressor runs, so you can tell at a glance when it's cooling.

Real-World Applications

Over-the-road trucking. Run it from a 24V or 12V system and keep meals and drinks within reach in the cab.

RV travel. BougeRV says it suits RVs with a 12V system, and the AC adapter lets you run it from an outlet at camp.

Boating. BougeRV also lists boats. Any DC power installation on a boat should be handled by a qualified electrician.

Weekend camping. Pack drinks, snacks and frozen items for a short trip and run the fridge from your vehicle or a power station.

Practical Comparison

Black CRPRO20 Versus Ice in a Cooler

Ice has to be bought, drained and replaced, and it takes up room you could use for food. The CRPRO20 holds a set temperature with its compressor and can freeze, as long as it has a DC socket, battery or outlet to run from.

Fridge Only Versus Fridge + Cover

Fridge + Cover adds a black BougeRV cover. The cover pictured here has a top pocket, a front pocket with a yellow strap and a mesh side pocket.

Fridge Only Versus Fridge + Battery

Fridge + Battery adds a BougeRV battery for running the fridge away from your vehicle. BougeRV doesn't give a runtime for the pair, so use the daily energy figures above and ask our team if you'd like help.

Buyer Guidance

Fitting It in a Cab

The fridge measures 23.7 x 12.6 x 11.9 in and weighs 23.8 lb. The cabinet is 13.8 x 9.8 x 8.9 in inside. Leave at least 7.9 in behind it and 3.9 in at the sides so the vents can release heat, and keep the tilt under 5° for long-term running.

Keeping It Efficient

BougeRV suggests keeping the fridge full, pre-cooling items before you load them, opening the lid less often and keeping it ventilated and out of direct sunlight. Use ECO mode when you can. Turn the fridge off or unplug it when the engine is off so it doesn't drain your battery.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• Your truck runs a 12V or 24V system
• You need a fridge under 12 in tall
• You want daily energy figures to size a battery
• You like a dark finish in your cab

Common Questions

Can I Use It in an RV or Boat?

Yes. BougeRV says it's suitable for RVs, boats and other vehicles with a 12V power system.

How Do I Turn It On and Off?

Press the power button once to turn it on from standby, and press and hold it for 3 seconds to turn it off.

What Does Error E1 Mean?

E1 means the input voltage is too low. Set battery protection to Medium or Low and wait 3 to 5 minutes for the fridge to reset, or switch to the AC cord. If it happened when you plugged in before starting the vehicle, connect it after the engine starts.

Is Condensation on the Outside Normal?

Yes. When the air humidity is above 75%, light condensation on the surface is normal.

What Warranty Does It Have?

BougeRV lists a 2-year warranty for this fridge.
