Capacity, per the listing

Roughly a week for two, or a family weekend. The listing also states two independent zones and a range down to -4 °F. Baskets and dividers eat some of it, so think in lunch boxes and milk cartons, not just in cans.

What it has going for it

What changes on your trips

43 qt, per the listing. Room for a week of food for two, or a family weekend at the campsite, before the next grocery stop. Our capacity guide turns that number into meals.

Dual zone, per the listing. Two compartments you can set separately: drinks at fridge temperature on one side, ice cream or frozen meat on the other. Our dual-zone guide explains what to check in the manual.

-4 °F to 68 °F, stated. Cold enough to run it as a freezer, so ice packs and frozen meals are on the menu. A compressor holds that setting whatever the cabin heat, within the limits in the manual. Put a thermometer in anyway; our camping food guide says why.

Weekend trips or a week off-grid?

For weekend trips, it pre-chills from the wall socket at home the night before.

For a week off-grid, 43 qt holds several days of food. The second zone lets frozen food come along.

On balance it is built for the longer trips; plan the power supply to match.

Great for you if…

  • You want cold drinks and frozen food at the same time
  • You want frozen food to stay frozen, not just cold
  • You like checking the temperature from the front seat

Skip it if…

  • You want a battery cut-off named: the listing we read names no battery protection
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

A better fit for your trips?

Need room for longer trips? The ICECO VL60 Dual-Zone (9.3/10) states 60 L (63.4 qt).

Short on space behind the seats? The BougeRV CR22 23 Qt (9.2/10) states 23 qt.

Worried about the starter battery? The EKOJUCE 58 Qt Dual-Zone (8.1/10) names battery protection in its listing.

Our take

The verdict

The BougeRV CRD2 V2 43QT + 240Wh Battery earns its place with 43 qt of stated capacity and two independent zones. No buyer reviews yet, so this BougeRV dual-zone fridge has to win you over on paper. The catch with the BougeRV: no battery protection in the listing, while most picks here name one. We'd pick it if you want cold drinks and frozen food at the same time; otherwise, put it next to the Alpicool 43 Qt Dual-Zone first.

Living with it

The night before

Plug it into the wall at home and let it pull down overnight, then load cold food, not warm. A pre-cooled fridge works less hard on the road.

On the road

Plug it into a 12V socket and keep an eye on the temperature from your phone, and open the lid as little as you can stand on a hot day.

At camp

Drinks on the fridge side, ice cream on the other. Roll it to the table, leave the vents breathing and keep a thermometer inside. Our cleaning guide covers the wipe-down after the trip.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you add the BougeRV CRD2 V2 43QT + 240Wh Battery to your cart: check the socket, because a 43 qt fridge on a car socket needs that socket to stay live with the ignition off.

Before you buy

The space

Measure the spot with the luggage in and the lid fully open, and leave room around the vents. Our fridge fit planner runs the numbers.

The socket

Switch the ignition off, plug a phone charger into the socket and see whether it still charges. Then decide on a battery cut-off. Our power connections guide has the checklist.

The food

Decide what goes in each zone before the trip. A display shows a setting, not the temperature of every container, so keep a cheap fridge thermometer inside. Our camping food guide explains why.

The paperwork

Look up who handles the warranty, and keep the receipt with the manual.

Frequently asked questions

Is the BougeRV CRD2 V2 43QT + 240Wh Battery any good?

What capacity and features does the BougeRV CRD2 V2 43QT + 240Wh Battery state?

Its listing states 43 qt of capacity and two zones. Those are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how fast it cools, how much it draws and how loud it hums depend on the heat outside, the load and the setting.

What should I check before buying the BougeRV CRD2 V2 43QT + 240Wh Battery?

Measure the space with the lid fully open and leave room around the vents. Then check the outside dimensions in the manual, the 12/24V DC and AC cords in the box, the battery protection settings and whether your car's socket stays live with the ignition off. Our fridge fit planner runs the space check for you.

Its listing states 43 qt of stated capacity, two independent zones, a range down to -4 °F, app control, DC and AC power and wheels and a handle.
