Why this fridge suits Far North Queensland
- 85L with a 12.8L freezer is the size that suits most Australian touring vans — enough for a proper shop without giving up a whole wall of cabinetry.
- Climate Class T rating and the current-generation variable-speed R600a compressor make it suitable for the high ambient temperatures caravans and motorhomes see up here.
- Variable-speed running means long, steady cycles rather than hard starts, which is easier on batteries and solar when you are free camping.
- The vent position on the Chromelock handle keeps the cabinet aired out between trips, which matters in Cassowary Coast humidity.
Will it fit my caravan?
- Compare your existing cabinet opening with the flush cut-out of approximately 503W × 796H × 468D mm, or the door-outside cut-out of approximately 503W × 796H × 426D mm.
- Allow the manufacturer's ventilation and installation clearances around the cabinet so the compressor can shed heat — this matters more in Far North Queensland than anywhere else in the country.
- Check you have a suitable 12/24V DC supply, correctly sized and protected for the fridge, wired by an appropriately qualified person where any new circuit work is needed.
- The door is reversible, so plan which way you want it to swing and make sure it clears benches, walls and drawers when fully open.
- Measure carefully before you order. We can talk you through it, but the buyer is responsible for confirming the opening suits the stated dimensions.
Before you buy
- Measure the height, width and depth of your existing cabinet opening.
- Compare those figures with the flush and door-outside cut-out dimensions listed above.
- Confirm there is room for ventilation clearances behind and above the fridge.
- Confirm your 12/24V DC supply and cabling are suitable.
- Decide which way the door should open.
We cannot promise a fit sight unseen — please measure carefully. If you would like a second opinion, email us a photo of your existing fridge space and the measurements and we will tell you what we think.

Installation
Installation available — quoted to suit the caravan. Cabinetry, ventilation and 12/24V wiring vary a lot between vans, so we quote fridge fitting individually rather than publishing a fixed price.

Ask about installationVitrifrigo C85i CHR HP Fridge/Freezer — common questions
C85i or C60i?
The C85i gives you roughly 71L of fridge and a 12.8L freezer against the C60i's 50L and 10.2L, in a taller cabinet (about 792mm versus 622mm). If your van has the height available, the C85i is usually the better long-term choice.
Will it hold temperature in the tropics?
It is Climate Class T rated with a nominal ambient operating range of +16°C to +43°C, and uses the current-generation variable-speed R600a compressor. Real-world performance still depends on correct ventilation, sensible door use and how hot the van gets, so it must be installed with the manufacturer's clearances.
What cut-out do I need?
Approximately 503W × 796H × 468D mm for a flush installation, or 503W × 796H × 426D mm for door-outside installation, plus the manufacturer's ventilation clearances. Measure your cabinet before ordering.
Can you install it for me?
Installation is available and quoted to suit the caravan — cabinetry and electrical work vary far too much between vans for a fixed price. Send us a photo of your existing fridge space and we will quote it.
How long does delivery take?
Some products are in stock — others are available to order. Normally allow 5–10 business days, and we will tell you if anything is running longer.
