Our bed is just up there, we , us…. Somebodyssss gettting married!!!’n;p love u Dustin.!!!
I started using a Vevor freezer for forestry work so I can have ice cream sandwiches and smoothies (with a ninja USB blender) in the middle of the day. It's a complete game changer! I come out the the cut block hot and grumpy and wanna go home, then get a complete reset and I'm ready for more! It lasts around 6 hours at -22C on a tiny power station, and runs on a cigarette lighter plug while I'm driving.
Always nice when a new purchase works as advertised. Now about that hoodie, gotta get my wife one! Thanks for the Wednesday updates my friend!
I had one until I sold my Class B earlier this spring. Very reliable, low power draw and quiet. I still have an ARB 12V fridge/freezer but got the BougeRV model since the ARB was starting to run the compressor too often compared to the past use. Yes, all the fins were cleaned and the compressor section blown out.
Thanks for the update...we have been wondering how you are making out with it....Also, every time you raised a crab trap, we experienced anticipation like unwrapping Christmas presents. You both made it fun.. Once again, your video and music compositions are beautiful as are many of your destinations. Keep up the great travel sharing. Us old folks love it Kudos!
NOICE! sup Dustin my boots. what it do Mic?
love you guys!
Sounds like a great product Dustin. You know you could make a slide out for the freezer to set/mount to and that would make it easier to load and unload eh
Also a foam or some kind of vibration damper for the vibrations off road .
Good review Dustin......I would think Bouge RV should be packaging up a 45 Qt and shipping if off right quick after this video.
I have a BougeRV as well. So far so good. Worked well in fridge mode even in Death Valley at around 40C. I always covered the fridge, and not in direct sunlight.
Great video Dustin. Missed your humour on the filling of the freezer pretty quickly. "Filled it pretty quickly, but these days, it may take a little longer since I lost my crab traps yet again.. 😉" lol! Keep up the great work bud! Thanks! 🤟
we call ours the booger v
I had to laugh when you said a real hot day of 27. On some summer nights that is our minimum. I have 2- 50L plastic fridges. One is freezer only and the other one is a fridge. The fridge pulls about 3 A. And the freezer just a little bit more. They run all the time with the 200 amp power lithium and a 250 W solar
I find that with mine, although a different manufacturer, putting the new stuff to the bottom and covering with frozen stuff cuts the freeze time in half.
Oh Yes That was confirmation to me!
Congratulations Kids!
They are a great economical little fridge. All the plastic fridges seem to be rebadged from suppliers but look identical. My 55qt alpicool dual zone is awesome. I'm very happy with my purchase. I did add a couple of layers of reflectix under the cover as there doesn't seem to be any insulation in it. Everything freezes solid now, and I keep the freezer at 23F and fridge at 34F.
Sounds like a good buy, my rv fridge freezer is giving up, replacing is 3000 dollars, so good sounding solar battery unit is tempting, thanks Dustin and happy for you and your partner to be exploring like you do
Thanks . I have a first generation type, I will not say here , but it barely gets cold. Will switch it out to a Bouge RV. Glad you mentioned the size too , as I have lots of room in my RV for a bigger one.
Fyi. If your rv fridge is a 3 way and is a absorption fridge the 120v side only pulls 1 amp. If your rig has a inverter on board plug the fridge in to that and set the fridge to 110 mode. Thats how i use mine while traveling. My jeep has a 110v 2 amp converter built in and its fine.
Interesting info, thank you.
(Mobicool) 12 Volt is what i have for over 4 year's now on solar . Stainless steel with spring loaded handles.
Nice to know , thanks Dustin .
Love this mid week vids!!!
Sounds wonderful ❤
Thanks for the video
Cool review !🤙
Happy Belated Canada Day!
I could hear the sexy music in the background as you explained the little freezer. Real-world testimonials are much appreciated.
Thanks, Dustin.
Love from the Philippines.
Happy Independence Day Y'all!
Thx 😊
I am always baffled how many people are still preferring 3-way fridges. I am using a 50Liter Dometic fridge/freezer. That thing runs 24/7/365 for 10 years now and never gave me any trouble. The absorption 3-way fridges start working against themselves when temperatures go above 25 °C (especially in RVs with limited ventilation around the fridge) and basically become useless, while burning through tons of propane. Like you mentioned, battery operation is inefficient and VERY hard on batteries with a 3-way. In contrast my Dometic produces ice cubes at 30°C without breaking a sweat! I have to admit that a Dometic doesn't come cheap. A 50 Liter fridge/freezer these days is more than 3 times what you paid for your Bouge. But when I hear the ice cubes clinking in my margarita while I am watching whales, I feel that was money well spent!
Long story short: For off grid camping only compressor refrigeration!
Nice 👍
Need one lol, love ya bro
Thanks for sharing, Dustin! I'm always up to hear what you think of the equipment you use, whether purchase, gifted or sponsored. A little late, but Happy 🇨🇦 Day!!! Hope you and Emi spent the day just chillin'!
Happy Canada Day. 🍻 🇨🇦 😊
I could fit two of those where my 3 way is, and maybe have room for some batteries to boot.
I've been in darwin, NT, aus for 12 years now. 27 degrees is a cold day, even in dry season. Kinda miss being is south Australia for the cold. Keep up the awesome videos
I remember talking to my friend working in the Northern Territory one January. It was 45 C and where I was in Canada was -45 C I guess warm and cold are subjective.
I'm curious, is your storage compartment have vents to let the heat out ( possibly add air flow while driving) and also should you insulate the compartment since the sun bearing down on the side will superheat the compartment making the fridge work harder.
@@ziggys745 I do have vents and fans in every compartment, but it should be improved for the freezer one for sure.
@@Destination_Adventure very good, and I don’t mean to be critical, I love your setups ( gives me ideas). I am always interested in the power consumption and trying to keep it efficient .
The real time review is good to know. 44 watt. That's not to bad. I still use a cooler fridge as a cooler hahaa i can usually keep meat 4 to 6 depending how hot n how much I open it 😂 ,if you up grade I'd be inclined to by this one off you
Say, how’s that Bluetti power station working out that Loren sent you ?
hi there @blueman5924 the Jackery that loren n leah sent from lolesoffroadandoverland is working great. First upgrade will be solar panels to charge it while out and about and parked someplace epic or at a event
For all my American friends, an easy math formula to translate Celsius to Fahrenheit; Degree Celsius times 2 and add 30 to the total. 20 celsius times 2 equal 40 plus 30 equal 70 Fahrenheit
@ericlaurin Once you hit 15 Celsius the Fahrenheit temp starts to come down. So your 20 Celsius would be about 67 degrees. But it is the fastest and best way I've done it for years. I don't worry about the couple degrees. As long as I'm close. Thought this might be helpful to our U.S. friends.
i have the same brand its not a big one and only fill it with beef i get from the ranch down the road to keep it frozen when im going south from Idaho to Arizona for the winters, works great and my two 6 volt batteries have no problems staying charged Above 12.5 all night, so if it breaks or my R V frig breaks i will get the same brand but bigger not gonna pay over 1000.00 plus dollars for a new Rv frig for a 25 year old motorhome
My rv fridge just broke as well. Going to consider it.
Support comment!

When putting new items in you should repack and put items below or in the middle of old stuff. That would help tremendously.
Oh happy day
How would a person start a you tube channel and what all is involved making/editing videos, ect?
appreciate the review, am in the market. cheers Dustin!
Can you PLEASE, PLEASE say F° equivalent when talking C°? Your American viewers would be grateful. Thanks Bro! 🤘
@@esidedude2869 double it and add 30. That will give you a rough idea. United States are so backwards
Very easy my American friend, for example, 20 degree celsius would be 70 Fahrenheit. Always multiply the Celsius by 2 and add 30 to the total.
Double and add thirty.
Google is your friend.
Googles free “bro”
5+min video no less please
Go to bed Trevor, you're drunk.
Longer video please 5+ minutes to help you tube money be more help
Great investment! I been wanting to get one but there's so many to choose from so i been looking at reviews also and think i found what will work for me ! Maybe down the road you can upgrade to the larger one 😃 Have fun buddy see ya Saturday ! 🌲 🐻
Is it just me or this channel is getting worst and worst ?
It's probably just you. The channel is great, we love Dustin's content. Also the word is worse, not worst. Your comment is probably the worst though.
@@jacobfrayer3836I appreciate you Jacob, thank you. Misery loves company I guess. 🤷🏻 every one of his comments is rude. lol i try to ignore it, because there a whole lot of great folks like yourself enjoying the channel, and for that i am grateful.
@@Destination_Adventure I appreciate you too Dustin, keep being awesome!
Hey Dustin. How about a Destination Adventure A’hole of the Month Award? I nominate Martin here. He won’t have much of any competition as the rest of us love ya!
@@mikedavison3400 this happens from time to time. 🤷🏻 funny enough, it’s often the same handful of people each week, but they keep watching. lol. I guess they’re subscribed to both Destination Adventure, and being grumpy. lol
