BODEGACOOLER 12 Volt Refrigerator, 1.6cu.ft RV Fridge with APP Control

I purchased this 12v refrigerator as a replacement on a 246 Rosborough boat. It’s set up for easy securement and trimming. Excellent quality, holds temp and runs very quietly. I did contact customer service and they responded very quickly with expertise! I wasn’t familiar with the brand, but am very impressed with unit… operation, installation, quality construction and especially there Customer

I originally intended to use it in my vehicle, but I discovered that with just a few minor modifications, it works perfectly for home use. It is also ideal for use at my construction sites. It runs beautifully and offers excellent cooling performance. I absolutely love it.

We bought this to replace a 3-way absorption Dometic that could not stay cold in 90F+ temps. This one works perfect in maintaining safe fridge temps even in 100F/55% humidity. It DOES develop ice in the fridge area indicating high humidity, which is concerning as the seals on it are brand new, and the fridge and freezer are completely separate. And if you don't find just the right temp, it will freeze vegetables at the bottom and toward the back of the fridge. My biggest issue with this model is that the freezer portion seems oversized to how tiny the useable fridge area actually is. Unlike the Dometic that had space for half gallon milk cartons to stand upright, this one does not have that type of space. We have to put the carton in sideways, which takes up much needed shelf space. Also note that the inside vegetable storage tray is fairly small too. If you need more freezer than fridge space, this model will work perfect. If you tend to use the fridge portion more, pick another model.

Been using the cooler for about a month and it cools nicely and does not draw excessive power. Good sizing and value. my only disappointment is that the drawer is not a sealed, humidity controlled storage, but that is probably hard to find in this size fridge, so i have not reduced my rating for that. i have not used the freezer much as i’m still building out my campervan so i keep drinks and snacks in it for convenience. i also have a 12 volt Set Power freezer cooler style so did not prioritize freezer space here although it appears larger than most small fridge freezers.

Update October 2025 Unfortunately, I have been less than thrilled with this fridge after my initial use period. There are two main concerns I have: - The door for the freezer is held in by one little plastic nub on each end. One of my nubs broke off through normal use and the door no longer stays on. After multiple attempts to contact support, I was finally able to get a replacement part ordered. But we are now almost 6 months into it and they are still waiting for the part from the factory. If you need support with this product I wouldn’t hold your breath. The temperature settings only allow you to change in 2 degree increments (e.g. 33 degrees to 35 degrees). I’m constantly switching back and forth between two settings but on the warmer one, things in the freezer often get too soft. And on the colder one, things in the fridge freeze up. If I could set it between the two settings I “think” it would be just right. But that is not an option… Original Review: I really like this fridge. It replaced a dometic in my van and I was a little skeptical given the low price and brand that I am not familiar with. But I figured I would take a chance since it was free shipping and free returns. 12v setup was easy and connected into my existing setup in minutes. The temperature setting was quick and easy. I have a fridge thermometer inside and it never wavers more than 2 degrees either way. Much more consistent than what I had previously. It also uses less power from my batteries each day which is always a plus. I love the big freezer- so much bigger than what I had before. I like having multiple boxes of ice cream in addition to my frozen veggies. The bottom shelf on the door holds a half gallon of milk, a box of OJ and other similar sized liquids. There are a few things I don’t love. The top shelves on the door are very small and don’t hold much that I would like to put there. I also don’t love the door opening approach. The latch on front unlocks the door (a good thing) but then you have to reach around the side of the door panel to open it. In my setup, accessing the side of the door is tough because it is completely flush. I’m going to add a strap to the front and see if that makes it easier to open. Overall I’m very happy with this fridge so far. I’ll update my review if anything changes.

We wanted a large fridge freezer combo for our van build, and the Bodega 12V fridge seemed to fit the bill perfectly. After three months of use, we're thrilled with our purchase. It installed seamlessly in our build, and it has held up well to our rugged off-road adventures in our 4x4 van. The fridge is spacious and well-reviewed, making it a great value compared to other options on the market. While the temperature may not be super accurate, once you get the hang of it and set it a bit higher, you won't have to worry about freezing your lettuce. The freezer, on the other hand, works like a charm and quickly produces ice cubes. Having ice while on the road feels like a luxurious treat! Overall, we're extremely satisfied with our Bodega 12V fridge and look forward to many years of reliable use in our van build. If you're looking for a durable, spacious, and affordable fridge freezer combo for your adventures, this one is definitely worth considering.

We have a 2017 Micro Minnie and have been struggling with a 2 way absorption-style cooler (Dometic RM2351) for the past 3 years. We mostly gave up on it a year ago and bought an electrical cooler for our cold stuff. In the correct environment and with constant monitoring the 2 way worked, some times. I've tried several fixes but nothing worked and I was fed up. I've been looking for a replacement to our 2 way rv fridge for some time, but never found anything that would be a drop in replacement at a reasonable cost. In comes the Bodega 110L. Watching an RV vid on youtube showed a smaller Bodega in their setup and I researched and found the 110L. It is NOT a drop in replacement for the Dometic RM2351, it is bigger in width and height. I had to modify the opening and a cross brace to get it to fit. Took most of a day to make all the necessary mods. Only the rear locations for the mounting tabs are accessible in our location, so only 2 of the 4 are installed. But the front of the cabinet is pretty snug to the fridge so not much possibility of up and down movement there. The air circulation venting meets the manuals recommendation and under multiple days of testing it works. The Bodega 110L was able to cool to an internal temperature of ~45F while the inside of the RV was ~115F (welcome to South East Arizona in June). We were not camping at the time so the inside AC was not on and we were also not opening and closing the fridge at the time, but as far as I'm concerned the multiday test passed where the Dometic, even when it was working great, never succeeded. Having only a 12vdc system I knew I would need more juice to operate the fridge. I upgraded from lead acid to LiFePo4 and increased the total amp hours from 100 to 280 while also installing the Bodega. In the testing it used ~60Ah over a 24 hour period. With a rated 200W solar panel I was able to maintain neutral, which was good. The door opens differently and the freezer door, as other reviews have mentioned, is not the most robust. But the freezer door is magnetic so it stays open when pulling stuff in and out of the freezer. The opening and closing will take some getting used to (it is mostly a two handed operation) and I think the freezer door will just have to be handled gently. I needed to swap the door hinges and the manual has the instructions. It took a few tries to get the correct hinge settings to not fold the gasket and get the door to click close. Not as easy to adjust or hinge swap as the Dometic. This 110L Bodega and the upgraded battery have shown in testing to be able to replace our not really enjoyable (because even in proper working order never was able to cool down in high heat conditions) and non functioning Dometic RM2351. The Bodega is pretty good. A 4 star. Not having to lug around an electric cooler makes it a 5.

Our absorption fridge kicked the bucket in our RV. After lots of research we went with the bodega, it fit the size we were replacing and was a better price compared to the other regular 12v brands. We used it this weekend and were very pleased. It is very quiet, held the temperature we set it to and did not draw a huge amount of power (see Pcole's review for detail on how long it will run on a LiFePO4 battery). I knocked off 1 star for a few reasons. - Like other said the latch feature takes a little to get used to before you get the knack of properly opening the door. The trick is to lift where it says open, then slide your hand in the center of the top of the door and pull..its a natural handle, but cannot be exposed until you lift on the left or right of it. - There is no drip catch for the condensation that accumulates like other 2 or 3 way fridges have so when you shut this unit off, make sure you wipe the fridge and freezer out well or you'll end up with a puddle on the floor - the LED lights on the unit are veru bright, the instruction has a diagram that shows a "night light" so I thought it could be turned off or dimmed but found no way to. - no mounting other than 4 screws at the front. There should be a bracket around the front face and holes in the bottom of the rear back plate where the compressor is so this can be more securely installed in a RV. All the above "cons" are not terrible or show stoppers. All in all this is a great buy. I have a few concerns on how well it will last based on a couple comments and concerns with the warranty, but time will tell.

Très efficace, compact, silencieux. Installé dans mon VR avec un panneau solaire 200 watts et batterie 12V 100 A-H. Service à la clientèle rapide.

I bought this for my truck camper to replace the old fridge that was in it. This fridge is great, fairly light weight , much lighter than your standard home mini fridge . Lots of storage , can easily have a weeks worth of food in it . I powered this fridge for 10 days entirely on my solar system and my battery was still 100% , so I'd say it's incredibly efficient. Would buy again .

I'm very happy with this refrigerator. The build quality is plenty good enough and it feels fairly well made. What impressed me the most is the customer service. The company truly stands behind its product and was responsive and helpful whenever I needed replacement parts. It's great to know they support their customers after the sale. Overall, this is a reliable 12V refrigerator that offers excellent value. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality portable fridge and who doesn't want to spends thousands of dollars

Bodegacooler Good product

Acheté pour mon beau-père qui s’est installé une petite roulotte sur son terrain de chasse. Il est très satisfait de la capacité : les deux zones sont pratiques et le frigo refroidit très bien. Par contre, sa batterie alimentée par panneau solaire se vide relativement vite, même à une intensité modérée-élevée. Il faut donc surveiller la consommation et ajuster la puissance selon l’autonomie disponible. Globalement, un bon frigo de camping, mais à prévoir pour ceux qui ont une alimentation limitée.
