VITRIFRIGO C42L refrigerator

High-performance refrigeration and easy installation for your van or camper van

The Vitrifrigo C42L is the ideal solution if you're looking for a compact, high-performance fridge that' s easy to fit into the tight spaces typical of vans and panel vans. Its major advantage? A remote cooling unit!

Thanks to its compression refrigeration technology, the C42L offers performance similar to that of a domestic fridge, even in hot weather, while being extremely energy-efficient (nominal consumption 31W). Gone are the constraints of absorption fridges: no complex gas connections or large grilles on the body. All you need is a simple 12V or 24V electrical connection.

Remote cooling unit: Maximum flexibility for your layout

The strong point of this "L" model is its external cooling unit (chiller). It is delivered pre-connected to the refrigerator via a 1.5 metre link (hoses + wiring). This means that you can install the body of the fridge in a cabinet, even a shallow one, and place the cooling unit (the part that takes up the most space and gives off heat) in a more ventilated or technical area nearby (chest, dedicated cupboard, etc.). There' s no need to call in a refrigeration engineer- all you have to do is "unroll" the connection! It's perfect for making the most of every square centimetre of your vehicle.

Compact, practical and well thought-out for the Vanlife

With a total capacity of 42 litres, including a genuine 3.6-litre freezer compartment capable of reaching -18°C, the C42L meets the essential needs of your road trips. It features the Airlock closure system: a secure closure that prevents accidental opening on the road, and incorporates a "ventilation" position to leave the door ajar when not in use, preventing mould and unpleasant odours.

The interior is illuminated by LEDs for good visibility, and the door is reversible to adapt perfectly to the configuration of your layout.

Installation advice for your Van or Vans

• The refrigerator is designed to be built into a piece of furniture in your interior.
• The remote refrigeration unit should be placed in an area that allows good air circulation to dissipate the heat (do not enclose it completely). A small ventilation grille in the cabinet housing the fridge is also recommended.
• The 1.5m link between the fridge and the genset is pre-loaded and connected, so don't disconnect it.
• Think about the reversibility of the door to choose the most practical opening direction before the final installation in your vehicle.
• A special mounting frame (sold separately) can make installation easier and provide a cleaner finish.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) for vanlifers

Can I install this fridge myself in my van?

Yes, the electrical installation is simple (12/24V connection). The big advantage here is that the fridge/cooling unit connection is already made and charged with gas, so you don't need a refrigeration engineer. It's mainly a question of integrating it into your furniture and making the electrical connections.

Is the remote refrigeration unit noisy?

Modern compressors are relatively quiet. The noise will be similar to that of a small domestic fridge when in operation. Placing the unit in a box or technical area can further reduce the noise perceived in the living area of your van.

What is the maximum distance between the fridge and the remote unit?

The link supplied is 1.5 metres long. Extending it is not recommended.

Do I need special ventilation in my van?

Yes, like any fridge, it needs to evacuate the heat produced by the refrigeration unit. Make sure there is good air circulation around the remote unit. A small ventilation grille in the fridge cabinet itself is also recommended to optimise performance.

With the Vitrifrigo C42L, you can combine the performance of compression refrigeration with unrivalled installation flexibility thanks to its remote unit.
