The BougeRV CRS 42 Quart 12V Car Fridge Wheelless is the compact version of BougeRV's single-zone CRS 42QT compressor fridge, made without wheels or a pull handle. It holds 42.1 quarts (40 liters, 1.41 cu. ft.), which BougeRV says fits 58 cans, and it sets anywhere from -4°F to 68°F on 12V or 24V DC or 100-240V AC.
Leaving off the wheels keeps the body to 25.9 x 16.3 x 15.6 in and 30.4 lb, which suits a van build, an RV cabinet or a truck bed where the fridge mostly stays put. You still get app control, a reversible lid and a removable basket.
With no wheels or pull handle at the ends, the fridge sits flat on a floor or platform. Carry handles on the body let you lift it in and out when you need to.
The cabinet measures 20.1 x 12.6 x 12.2 in inside. BougeRV rates it for 58 cans of 12 fl oz, 14 bottles of 33.8 fl oz water or 4 one-gallon milk jugs, and a removable wire basket keeps small items within reach.
BougeRV suggests -4°F to 32°F for freezer use and 32°F to 50°F for fridge use. Set it below 0°F to keep ice cream frozen or below 32°F to make ice.
With an empty cabinet and 77°F outside, BougeRV rates the compressor to reach 32°F in 15 minutes. In MAX mode with an empty cabinet, BougeRV also rates it to reach -4°F from 77°F in 50 minutes. The rated power input is 60W, and BougeRV lists ECO mode at 45W.
Adjust the temperature, switch modes and monitor the fridge from your smartphone with BougeRV's app. BougeRV lists the control range as 10 meters, about 32 ft.
The lid can be moved to open from either side, which helps when the fridge sits against a wall or cabinet. A three-level battery monitor shuts it off at 11.1V, 10.4V or 9.6V on 12V and at 24.3V, 22.8V or 21.3V on 24V, then restarts it two minutes after the voltage recovers to the cut-in level.
Van builds. The wheelless body fits a fixed spot in a van and runs from the 12V or 24V system.
RV travel. Add 40 liters of fridge or freezer space and switch to AC at a campsite with hookups.
Trucks and SUVs. Set it in the bed or cargo area and plug it into the DC socket for road trips.
Camping. Run it from a power station at camp and check the temperature from your phone.
An ice cooler gives up space to ice and leaves melt water to drain. The CRS 42QT holds a set temperature with its compressor and can work as a freezer, as long as it has DC, AC or battery power.
Wheels and a pull handle help when you move a fridge often, but they add length. This wheelless version suits a spot where the fridge usually stays put. BougeRV also sells the CRS 42QT with wheels if you'd rather roll it.
Measure your space for the 25.9 x 16.3 x 15.6 in body, then add at least 7.9 in behind it and 3.9 in at the sides so the vents can release heat. Keep it level, with less than 5° of tilt for long-term running and less than 45° for short periods.
Let it sit flat, lid on top, for 12 hours before you first turn it on. BougeRV recommends High battery protection on a vehicle starter battery or a power station. Turn it off or unplug it when the engine is off. BougeRV also lists a 12-50V solar input, so check with our team before you connect a panel.
No. The fridge contains refrigerant, and running it on its side can affect cooling and cause malfunctions.
BougeRV lists an outside temperature range of 50°F to 122°F for use.
E5 means the unit is overloading. Make sure the air vents are clear and move the fridge somewhere cooler, since the outside temperature may be too high.
Yes. When the air humidity is above 75%, slight condensation on the surface is normal.
BougeRV lists a 2-year warranty for this fridge.
The BougeRV CRS 42 Quart 12V Car Fridge Wheelless gives you 40 liters of fridge or freezer space, a -4°F to 68°F range, app control and a reversible lid in a compact body with no wheels to work around, on 12V, 24V or AC power. If you're measuring a van or RV space for it, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
