A 12V compressor fridge is the upgrade that changes how long you can stay out. No ice, no draining meltwater, no soggy food - just a set temperature that holds while you drive.
Single zone or dual zone
Single zone is one compartment at one temperature - fridge or freezer, not both. Dual zone splits it into two independently controlled compartments so you can freeze on one side and chill on the other. In ICECO model names S is single zone and D is dual.
The two series
- VL Pro - the main range, 35 to 90 litres, single and dual zone
- APL - aluminium-bodied, 20 and 35 litres, for lighter duty and tighter spaces
Sizing and power
20 to 35 litres suits a weekend for one or two and fits behind a seat. 45 to 60 is the usual choice for a couple on longer trips. 75 and 90 need dedicated cargo space or a drawer system. Whichever you pick, think about power: a fridge will run off the vehicle while driving, but leaving it on the starter battery overnight is how you end up not starting in the morning. A portable power station solves it.
