How to keep food fresh in a van?

In a converted vehicle, space and energy are limited. Choosing the right equipment optimises food preservation whilst controlling electricity consumption.

The different cooling solutions for converted vans

  • The compressor refrigerator: efficient and powerful, it runs on 12V and ensures optimal preservation.
  • The electric cool box: more compact and portable, it maintains cold on battery or by plugging into a 12V/230V socket.
  • The passive cool box: without a power connection, it keeps things cold for several hours thanks to ice packs.
  • The absorption refrigerator: silent and versatile, it runs on 12V, 230V or gas.

How to choose your cooling equipment for a van?

  • Capacity: depending on the number of people and duration of trips.
  • Energy consumption: an essential criterion for travel autonomy.
  • Power source: 12V battery, 230V mains connection, gas or mixed operation.
  • Size: compact format to optimise available space in the van.
  • Thermal performance: cooling capacity even in high temperatures.

The advantages of a good cooling system in a van

  • Optimal preservation of food and drinks.
  • Energy savings with low-consumption models.
  • Format suited to small spaces and long-distance travel.
  • Adaptability according to climate and specific needs.

Essential equipment for travelling with peace of mind
