Is a refrigerator really necessary for your overland journeys?
While the overland market and social media bombard us with ads promoting the need for a 12V fridge/freezer, it’s not always essentials. Sure, fridges can be a game changer for off-grid travel or hot climates. However, depending on your adventure frequency, a fridge might be too much.
In our latest blog article, the staff presents you with alternatives that allow you to reallocate your travel funds towards upgrading suspension or fueling up for more miles of adventure!
