Details and specifications
Full description
The VanCool 50L DCR is a compressor fridge with dual temperature-control zones.
Simple wiring (wired connection) to a 12V or 24V circuit — or with a voltage converter on a 230V circuit.
💡 Good to know: the compressor technology in 12V fridges is the best option for a converted vehicle.
- Durable compressor
- Simple wiring — two electrical wires to connect
- Quiet — 35 dB, with Night mode
- Performs well in high heat and while on the move
- Can run on 230V with a simple voltage adapter
- Fewer risks related to gas
Compatibility and dimensions
This fridge suits a first installation just as well as replacing an existing fridge, including a three-way gas fridge, whatever the brand.
- Fridge dimensions: 52 × 38 × 51 cm (H × W × D)
- Power supply: 12V or 24V straight off the leisure battery, or 230V through the 230V-12V adapter
- Door: reversible, opens left or right
Your recess must measure at least the dimensions of the fridge. If it is larger, the gap is taken up during fitting with a trim strip or a finishing plinth. Measure before ordering: if in doubt, send us your measurements and we will confirm.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How much power will it draw from my battery over 24 h?
A: The compressor does not run continuously: it cuts in in cycles to hold the temperature, 25 W on average and 65 W when running. What makes consumption vary over a day is the heat around the fridge, the ventilation of the recess and how often the door is opened — far more than the thermostat setting.
Q: Does it run on 230V?
A: Yes, through the 230V-12V adapter, plugged into the mains at the campsite or at home.
Q: I'm replacing a three-way gas fridge, what happens to the gas line?
A: This fridge runs on electricity only. The gas line that fed the old fridge is no longer of any use and must be properly decommissioned by a professional. The external vent grilles, however, should be kept: they now serve to ventilate the recess.
Q: Can the freezer really be removed?
A: Yes. Once it is removed, you get the whole volume back as a single fridge compartment, and you just switch back to the single-zone setting.
Q: Is it type-approved for a vehicle?
A: Yes, ECE R10, with a certificate accepted throughout Europe. 2-year warranty, after-sales service handled by our team in France.
