ICECO APL55 Fridge: Cooling Time & Power Usage Test!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 тра 2024
- In this video, I wanted to truly test how long it takes the ICECO APL55 to go from ambient temps down to 30 degrees, which is typically what I set it at. On this camping trip, it was about 72 degrees ambient so I turned it on, started the timer and tracked the power consumption. For the record, it was in ECO mode when I did this test.
Watch the video for all the details and to see how it does!
I've got a code for 12% off fridges on ICECO's site, so below are links to the APL55 and my old fridge, the JP50. Both are great, but this APL is really next level.

I’m so happy you made this video and broke down the math on running a fridge and choosing the correct power bank/battery system to do so. I’ve been keeping my eye on this fridge since your first video on it, and now I need to figure out what I want to get to power it. Thanks Fletch for helping everyone out with your fantastic content!
I wish I lived closer to you so we can go camp!
Hey buddy, thank you! Glad it was helpful! This fridge is pretty sweet and I'm loving it. A dual battery may be a bit of overkill, but you can also get a 100AH battery for pretty cheap and throw it in a battery box and make that work for less than $300ish. I'm always down for camping, :D!
And if you cool it via 110 at home before use, you can get even more hours off the battery bank. Learned my lesson that way!!
That's a good tip!
I don't have this particular fridge, but I always cool mine overnight at home before leaving on a trip. Then I run it on the 12V outlet in the car while in motion, and use a power station overnight when the vehicle isn't running.
Good information. I have one of them on the way as I type this lol, pretty excited to get it,.I got so sick of having to drain a rotomolded cooler every day and have to make sure things are packed in watertight cases I don't want getting wet etc. I plan do do an auxiliary battery setup and keep it in the back of the cab.
Nice! I had my old fridge in the back seat of the second gen and it worked great. With the new truck and kids, I didn't want to lose the back seat, so I moved it to the bed and it's works well, but I can't wait to switch out my open bed rack for an enclosed cap at some point. That'll help keep everything clean and protected and then I'll be set.
@@AllThingsOverlanding funny you mentioned the hard topper. I have been trying to find one for the truck, it seems the selection we have in terms of overland/offroad options are extremely limited.
@@D41Mallcrawler check out the XO SKLTON from Xtrusion Overland. I’m running their bed rack and plan to switch out to the cap when it’s released this summer. Looks sweet. There will definitely be some videos in the future one I get my hands on one.
Have you dowloaded the GPS Track file from Back Country Discovery Routes website and upload it to nissan frontier 2023 pro4x navigation system? If you have, can you share how you did it. I have the file on a USB but nissan doesn't seem to see it.
Huh, good thinking. We had a guy in our group who was the lead on our last BDR trip but he used his Gaia on an iPad, not his stock headunit. Could you load the GPX file to your Gaia on your phone and then car play Gaia to your car to get around that?
@@AllThingsOverlanding that is a good option. I will try that.
Thanks
@@MiguelNunez-cn3fn Anytime!
